SALIENT FEATURES OF THE RIGHTS OFFER
This section provides an overview of the Rights Offer and should be read in conjunction with the Circular.
1. INTRODUCTION
Since the Companys successful Initial Public Offering in September 2007, the Investment Manager
has targeted so-called unloved assets; those with signicant unrealised value and growth potential.
Such investments are typically overlooked and undervalued for a number of different reasons such
as the particular sector losing favour with investors, lack of strategic direction, nancial hardship or
poor performance of the management team or board of directors. Upon acquisition, the Investment
Manager actively manages the investment, setting a new vision, focus and strategic direction for these
investments, as well as providing managerial, nancial and operational support. Through this active
and hands-on approach, the Investment Manager aims to transform the investments into attractive and
valuable assets, with the aim of realising the assets at the appropriate time to deliver superior returns.
Since the IPO, the Investment Manager has consistently underlined that it allows for a ten year
investment horizon for each investment, which provides the necessary time to implement fundamental
transformations of the investments and to unlock their full value potential. Typically, the rst ve years are
used to establish and implement the revised strategic plans, and the second ve year period is used to
optimise the exit value. In order to maximise returns, it is important that sufcient exibility be built into
the timing of the exit.
Although the Companys four Investment Platforms are currently at different stages of development, they
are all well positioned and on track to achieve the strategic objectives set by the Investment Manager
at the time of the initial investment. The Coloured Gemstones and Platinum Group Metals are the two
platforms most advanced in their development, with many of their original strategic goals already met.
Each has become increasingly attractive as an investment proposition, evidenced by the more than ten-
fold increase in the Gemelds share price over the past few years, as well as the impending consolidation
of the Platinum Group Metals interests and the ZAR3.24 billion investment therein by the Industrial
Development Corporation of South Africa. Even as these two Investment Platforms are poised to enter
the harvesting period, the Investment Manager believes that there remains further valuation upside to
be achieved and suitable market conditions to be prevailing, before an exit should be contemplated.
In the interim, the next phase of development for these Investment Platforms will likely be made from
their existing cash reserves and accordingly it is not expected that they will require further funding from
theCompany.
Faberg has built on its successful relaunch in September 2009, unveiling a number of ne jewellery
collections and expanding its retail presence across the globe to include Geneva, London, New York
and Hong Kong. In order to fund this expansion phase and enable further implementation of its value-
creating strategy, Faberg is undertaking a capital raising, which may take the form of equity or debt.
The Company has allocated US$25-30 million (ZAR202-243 million)
1
of the Rights Offer proceeds as to
the Companys participation in the Faberg capital raising.
10
The Companys Steel Making Materials platform is also to be expanded further, both within the existing
Jupiter investment and potentially into a coal opportunity. A further US$25-35 million (ZAR202-283million)
1
has been allocated to the Companys participation in the ongoing support of the Steel Making Materials
Investment Platform.
As the original portfolio enters the mature stage, the management time commitment to those platforms
is likely to be reduced. This will free up management resources allowing focus on new areas of growth
and shareholder value creation. The Investment Manager therefore intends to actively pursue a number
of attractive new investment opportunities it has identied. This is likely to include a copper investment,
which if successfully completed will form the base for a fth Investment Platform. For this purpose, the
Company has allocated US$40-50 million (ZAR324-404 million)
1
of the Rights Offer proceeds.
As a principle, the Company only raises capital when there is specic use for the funds, such as
participating in identied new investment opportunities, or in order to support its existing Investment
Platforms, such as Faberg and Steel Making Materials. It is of particular importance that the Company
continue to follow its rights in its four existing Investment Platforms in order to protect its investment
value, avoid value destructive dilution and support the development of its strategic plan. Accordingly, the
Directors believe that it is the right time, and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders,
to raise additional funds for the Company.
Whilst the merits of debt and equity funding have been evaluated, given the current volatile market
conditions as well as the developing nature of the Companys investment portfolio, the Directors do
not consider the introduction of debt funding a viable or appropriate option for the Company at this
time. Accordingly, the Directors believe that the best course of action to meet the Companys current
needs and strategic objectives is to raise incremental equity capital, and therefore have approved the
RightsOffer.
The Rights Offer seeks to raise ZAR800 million through the issue of up to 357,142,857 Rights Offer
Shares at the Rights Offer Price of ZAR2.24 per Rights Offer Share in the Rights Offer Ratio of 75.06094
Rights Offer Shares for every 100 Shares held on the Record Date.
This Circular and the accompanying Forms of Instruction (if applicable) serve to:
provide Shareholders with information pertaining to the Rights Offer; and
enable Shareholders to take up, dispose of and/or renounce all or part of their Rights as well as
apply for Excess Rights Offer Shares under the terms of the Rights Offer in accordance with the Act
(to the extent applicable), Guernsey Law, the Companys Articles of Incorporation and the Listings
Requirements.
The Forms of Instruction contain details of the Rights to which Certicated JSE Shareholders and BSX
Shareholders, as the case may be, are entitled, as well as the procedures for the take-up, disposal or
renunciation of such Rights and/or the application for Excess Rights Offer Shares. Dematerialised JSE
Shareholders will be advised by their broker or CSDP of their Rights Offer Entitlement as well as the
procedure for the take-up, disposal or renunciation of such Rights and/or the application for Excess
Rights Offer Shares.

2. SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED PRE-PLACEMENT
In order to ensure the success of the Rights Offer and to enable participation in the current Faberg capital
raising, the Company has concluded the Pre-placement with existing shareholders in advance of the
Rights Offer, whereby the Pre-placement Participants, under the terms of the Subscription Agreements
subscribed for 187,647,650 Rights Offer Shares at the Rights Offer Price, for an aggregate consideration
of approximately ZAR420.33 million, representing 52.54% of the total Rights Offer Shares available in
the Rights Offer. The proceeds of the Pre-placement have been received by the Company and the Firm
Placed Rights Offer Shares shall be issued to Pre-placement Participants on Monday, 23 July 2012. In
consideration for the Pre-placement Participants subscribing for the Firm Placed Rights Offer Shares,
each Pre-placement Participant was paid the Pre-placement Fee. Please refer to paragraph 5.2 of the
Circular for furtherdetails.
Accordingly, over half of the ZAR800 million sought to be raised in the Rights Offer has already been
received by the Company from existing shareholders, indicating a rm support for the strategic direction
of the Company as well as the Rights Issue. The Pre-placement will enable the Group to participate in
the Faberg capital raising. In addition, the Directors of the Company and Partners of the Investment
Manager have indicated that they will subscribe for their collective 4.71% pro rata entitlement of the
Rights Issue, increasing the rm commitments to the Rights Issue to 57.25%.
3. RIGHTS OFFER
In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, the Company will implement the Rights Offer to each
Shareholder, on the same terms and conditions. Furthermore, whilst no rights of pre-emption exist, the
Company will implement the Rights Offer by providing each Shareholder with a Rights Offer Entitlement.
The Rights Offer will be implemented on the JSE and in Rand only and will be made to all Shareholders
who, for the avoidance of doubt, will include BSX Shareholders who will be able to participate in the
Rights Offer in the same manner as JSE Shareholders.
Shareholders are entitled to take up such number of Rights Offer Shares equal to their Rights Offer
Entitlement. Accordingly, all Shareholders will be afforded the opportunity to participate in the Rights
Offer and all Rights Offer Shares issued pursuant to the Rights Offer will be listed on the JSE.
The section headed Action required by Shareholders sets out the action to be taken by Shareholders in
relation to the Rights Offer. In addition, BSX Shareholders and Certicated JSE Shareholders are referred
to the Form of Instruction which details the procedures for the take-up, disposal or the renunciation of
Rights and/or the application for Excess Rights Offer Shares. Dematerialised JSE Shareholders will be
advised by their broker or CSDP of the Rights to which they are entitled as well as the procedure for the
take-up, disposal or renunciation of such Rights.
4. TERMS OF THE RIGHTS OFFER
The Company is seeking to raise ZAR800 million through the issue of up to 357,142,857 Rights Offer
Shares at the Rights Offer Price of ZAR2.24 per Rights Offer Share. The Rights Offer Price represents a
25% discount to the 10-day VWAP of a Share listed on the JSE on 29March 2012, the day on which the
Rights Offer Price was determined.
12
Shareholders will have the right to subscribe for 75.06094 Rights Offer Shares for every 100 Shares held
by them on the Record Date, and Shareholders holding fewer than 100 Shares will receive entitlements
in accordance with the table of entitlements contained in Annexure V to this Circular.
Fractional entitlements to Rights Offer Shares resulting from the Rights Offer will be rounded down to
the nearest whole number if they are less than 0.5 and will be rounded up to the nearest whole number
if they are equal to or greater than 0.5.
Detailed particulars of the Rights Offer are contained in paragraph 5 on page 32 of this Circular.
5. RATIONALE FOR THE RIGHTS OFFER
The Directors believe that it is the right time to raise additional equity capital for the Company. This
will enable the Company to support its investments in the existing Investment Platforms, but also to
potentially create signicant shareholder value by participating in new investment opportunities.
Faberg has made signicant progress since the Company made its rst investment in 2007. Despite
the short period since Fabergs relaunch in September 2009, it has already achieved a number of key
milestones. Faberg continued its introduction of high quality collections with a number of critically
acclaimed launches during 2011, with more planned for the second half of 2012. Fabergs retail presence
has expanded to include Geneva, London, New York and Hong Kong. Faberg has been successfully
repositioned in the upper echelon of the luxury sector and now has an expanded product offering and
retail footprint. Faberg is seeking a further capital injection which will enable further development of its
value-creating strategy. The Directors have allocated US$25-30 million to participate in Fabergs capital
raising, which may take the form of equity or debt, to protect its investment and support the next phase
of development of its strategic plan.
The Companys Steel Making Materials platform has also been in a capital intensive phase, building
South Africas newest open pit manganese mine at Tshipi Borwa and this is expected to continue as
Jupiter progresses its feasibility studies on Mount Mason and Mount Ida. The Steel Making Materials
strategy is about developing a platform to supply the key raw materials required for the production of
steel, in particular manganese, iron ore and coking coal. A further US$25-35 million has been allocated as
the Companys participation to the ongoing support of the Steel Making Materials Investment Platform,
which may include a new investment in one or more coal assets.
The Investment Manager has also identied a new copper investment opportunity in southern Africa,
comprising both producing assets and others close to production. It is anticipated that this investment
would be made in conjunction with the Pallinghurst Co-Investors, and the Groups share is likely to be
approximately US$40-50 million.
Gemelds is now a market leader in the emerald sector and is well advanced in its strategy to become
the worlds leading coloured gemstone producer. It is about to apply its successful business model to
rubies, having recently acquired a world class deposit in Mozambique. Gemelds also delivered record
breaking auction results during 2011, with net prot after tax for the six months to 31 December 2011
of US$22 million, higher than the record prots of the prior full year. Gemelds is unlikely to require any
further capital expenditure and the Company does not plan to allocate any of the Rights Offer proceeds
to Gemelds. It is possible that Gemelds may begin to return funds to its shareholders, including the
Group, in the next few years.
13
When making the rst investment into the PGM sector, the Company did so with the aim of facilitating
the consolidation of three contiguous properties, creating an attractive and valuable major new industry
player. Such combined entity would benet from a long life and low cost of production. On 29 March
2012, an important announcement conrmed the planned consolidation of the four PGM assets in which
Pallinghurst has invested. It also reported the acquisition of a 16.2% stake in the consolidated vehicle
(NewCo) for an investment of ZAR3.24 billion by the Industrial Development Corporation, the prominent
South African sovereign investor. This is a tangible validation of our PGM vision and conrmation of

CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS
1. INTRODUCTION
Since the Companys successful Initial Public Offering in September 2007, the Investment Manager
has targeted so-called unloved assets; those with signicant unrealised value and growth potential.
Such investments are typically overlooked and undervalued for a number of different reasons such
as the particular sector losing favour with investors, lack of strategic direction, nancial hardship or
poor performance of the management team or board of directors. Upon acquisition, the Investment
Manager actively manages the investment, setting a new vision, focus and strategic direction for these
investments, as well as providing managerial, nancial and operational support. Through this active
and hands-on approach, the Investment Manager aims to transform the investments into attractive and
valuable assets, with the aim of realising the asset at the appropriate time to deliver superior returns.
Since the IPO, the Investment Manager has consistently underlined that it allows for a ten year
investment horizon for each investment, which provides the necessary time to implement fundamental
transformations of the investments and to unlock their full value potential. Typically, the rst ve years are
used to establish and implement the revised strategic plans, and the second ve year period is used to
optimise the exit value. In order to maximise returns, it is important that sufcient exibility be built into
the timing of the exit.
Although the Companys four Investment Platforms are currently at different stages of development, they
are all well positioned and on track to achieve the strategic objectives set by the Investment Manager
at the time of the initial investment. The Coloured Gemstones and Platinum Group Metals are the two
platforms most advanced in their development, with many of their original strategic goals already met.
Each has become increasingly attractive as an investment proposition, evidenced by the more than ten-
fold increase in the Gemelds share price over the past few years, as well as the impending consolidation
of the Platinum Group Metals interests and the ZAR3.24 billion investment therein by the Industrial
Development Corporation of South Africa. Even as these two Investment Platforms are poised to enter
the harvesting period, the Investment Manager believes that there remains further valuation upside to
be achieved and suitable market conditions to be prevailing, before an exit should be contemplated.
29
In the interim, the next phase of development for these Investment Platforms will likely be made from
their existing cash reserves and accordingly it is not expected that they will require further funding from
theCompany.
Faberg has built on its successful relaunch in September 2009, unveiling a number of ne jewellery
collections and expanding its retail presence across the globe to include Geneva, London, New York
and Hong Kong. In order to fund this expansion phase and enable further implementation of its value-
creating strategy, Faberg is undertaking a capital raising, which may take the form of equity or debt.
The Company has allocated US$25-30 million (ZAR202-243 million)
1
of the Rights Offer proceeds as the
Companys participation in the Faberg capital raising.
The Companys Steel Making Materials platform is also to be expanded further, both within the existing
Jupiter investment and potentially into a coal opportunity. A further US$25-35 million (ZAR202-283 million)
1
has been allocated as the Companys participation in the ongoing support of the Steel Making Materials
Investment Platform.
As the original portfolio enters the mature stage, the management time commitment to those platforms
is likely to be reduced. This will free up management resources allowing focus on new areas of growth
and shareholder value creation. The Investment Manager therefore intends to actively pursue a number
of attractive new investment opportunities it has identied. This is likely to include a copper investment,
which if successfully completed will form the base for a fth Investment Platform. For this purpose, the
Company has allocated US$40-50 million (ZAR324-404 million)
1
of the Rights Offer proceeds.
As a principle, the Company only raises capital when there is specic use for the funds, such as
participating in identied new investment opportunities, or in order to support its existing Investment
Platforms, such as Faberg and Steel Making Materials. It is of particular importance that the Company
continue to follow its rights in its four existing Investment Platforms in order to protect its investment
value, avoid value destructive dilution and support the development of its strategic plan. Accordingly, the
Directors believe that it is the right time, and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders,
to raise additional funds for the Company.
Whilst the merits of debt and equity funding have been evaluated, given the current volatile market
conditions as well as the developing nature of the Companys Investment Portfolio, the Directors do
not consider the introduction of debt funding a viable or appropriate option for the Company at this
time. Accordingly, the Directors believe that the best course of action to meet the Companys current
needs and strategic objectives is to raise incremental equity capital, and therefore have approved the
RightsOffer.
The Rights Offer seeks to raise ZAR800 million through the issue of up to 357,142,857 Rights Offer
Shares at the Rights Offer Price of ZAR2.24 per Rights Offer Share in the Rights Offer Ratio of 75.06094
Rights Offer Shares for every 100 Shares held on the Record Date.
This Circular and the accompanying Forms of Instruction (if applicable) serve to:
provide Shareholders with information pertaining to the Rights Offer; and
enable Shareholders to take up, dispose of and/or renounce all or part of their Rights as well as
apply for Excess Rights Offer Shares under the terms of the Rights Offer in accordance with the Act
30
(to the extent applicable), Guernsey Law, the Companys Articles of Incorporation and the Listings
Requirements.
The Forms of Instruction contain details of the Rights to which Certicated JSE Shareholders and BSX
Shareholders, as the case may be, are entitled, as well as the procedures for the take-up, disposal or
renunciation of such Rights and/or the application for Excess Rights Offer Shares. Dematerialised JSE
Shareholders will be advised by their broker or CSDP of their Rights Offer Entitlement as well as the
procedure for the take-up, disposal or renunciation of such Rights and/or the application for Excess
Rights Offer Shares.

The ZAR amounts indicated may uctuate as a result of the exchange rate used. The ZAR amounts above have been calculated using an
exchange rate of US$1:ZAR8.09, the rate at 31 December 2011.
2. SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED PRE-PLACEMENT
In order to ensure the success of the Rights Offer and to enable participation in the current Faberg capital
raising, the Company has concluded the Pre-placement with existing shareholders in advance of the
Rights Offer, whereby the Pre-placement Participants, under the terms of the Subscription Agreements
subscribed for 187,647,650 Rights Offer Shares at the Rights Offer Price, for an aggregate consideration
of approximately ZAR420.33 million, representing 52.54% of the total Rights Offer Shares available in
the Rights Offer. The proceeds of the Pre-placement have been received by the Company and the Firm
Placed Rights Offer Shares shall be issued to Pre-placement Participants on Monday, 23 July 2012. In
consideration for the Pre-placement Participants subscribing for the Firm Placed Rights Offer Shares,
each Pre-placement Participant was paid the Pre-placement Fee. Please refer to paragraph 5.2 of the
Circular for further details.
Accordingly, over half of the ZAR800 million sought to be raised in the Rights Offer has already been
received by the Company from existing shareholders, indicating a rm support for the strategic direction
of the Company as well as the Rights Issue. The Pre-placement will enable the Group to participate in the
capital raising of its Faberg investment. In addition, the Directors of the Company and Partners of the
Investment Manager have indicated that they will subscribe for their collective 4.71% pro rata entitlement
of the Rights Issue, increasing the rm commitments to the Rights Issue to 57.25%.
3. RIGHTS OFFER
In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, the Company undertook to implement the Rights Offer
to each Shareholder, on the same terms and conditions. Furthermore, whilst no rights of pre-emption
exist, the Company undertook to implement the Rights Offer by providing each Shareholder with a
Rights Offer Entitlement.
The Rights Offer will be implemented on the JSE and in Rand only and will be made to all Shareholders
who, for the avoidance of doubt, will include BSX Shareholders who will be able to participate in the
Rights Offer in the same manner as JSE Shareholders.
Shareholders are entitled to take up such number of Rights Offer Shares equal to their Rights Offer
Entitlement. Accordingly, all Shareholders will be afforded the opportunity to participate in the Rights
Offer, with all Rights Offer Shares issued pursuant to the Rights Offer being listed on the JSE.
31
The section headed Action required by Shareholders sets out the action to be taken by Shareholders in
relation to the Rights Offer. In addition, BSX Shareholders and Certicated JSE Shareholders are referred
to the Form of Instruction which details the procedures for the take-up, disposal or the renunciation of
Rights and/or the application for Excess Rights Offer Shares. Dematerialised JSE Shareholders will be
advised by their broker or CSDP of the Rights to which they are entitled as well as the procedure for the
take-up, disposal or renunciation of such Rights.
4. RATIONALE FOR THE RIGHTS OFFER
The Directors believe that it is the right time to raise additional equity capital for the Company. This
will enable the Company to support its investments in the existing Investment Platforms, but also to
potentially create signicant shareholder value by participating in new investment opportunities.
Faberg has made signicant progress since the Company made its rst investment in 2007. Despite
the short period since Fabergs relaunch in September 2009, it has already achieved a number of key
milestones. Faberg continued its introduction of high quality collections with a number of critically
acclaimed launches during 2011, with more planned for the second half of 2012. Fabergs retail presence
has expanded to include Geneva, London, New York and Hong Kong. Faberg has been successfully
repositioned in the upper echelon of the luxury sector and now has an expanded product offering and
retail footprint. Faberg is seeking a further capital injection which will enable further development of its
value-creating strategy. The Directors have allocated US$25-30 million to participate in Fabergs capital
raising, which may take the form of equity or debt, to protect its investment and support the next phase
of development of its strategic plan.
The Companys Steel Making Materials platform has also been in a capital intensive phase, building
South Africas newest open pit manganese mine at Tshipi Borwa and this is expected to continue as
Jupiter progresses its feasibility studies on Mount Mason and Mount Ida. The Steel Making Materials
strategy is about developing a platform to supply the key raw materials required for the production of
steel, in particular manganese, iron ore and coking coal. A further US$25-35 million has been allocated as
the Companys participation to the ongoing support of the Steel Making Materials Investment Platform,
which may include a new investment in one or more coal assets.
The Investment Manager has also identied a new copper investment opportunity in southern Africa,
comprising both producing assets and others close to production. It is anticipated that this investment
would be made in conjunction with the Pallinghurst Co-Investors, and the Groups share is likely to be
approximately US$40-50 million.
Gemelds is now a market leader in the emerald sector and is well advanced in its strategy to become
the worlds leading coloured gemstone producer. It is about to apply its successful business model to
rubies, having recently acquired a world class deposit in Mozambique. Gemelds also delivered record
breaking auction results during 2011, with net prot after tax for the six months to 31 December 2011
of US$22 million, higher than the record prots of the prior full year. Gemelds is unlikely to require any
further capital expenditure and the Company does not plan to allocate any of the Rights Offer proceeds
to Gemelds. It is possible that Gemelds may begin to return funds to its shareholders, including the
Group, in the next few years.
32
When making the rst investment into the PGM sector, the Company did so with the aim of facilitating
the consolidation of three contiguous properties, creating an attractive and valuable major new industry
player. Such combined entity would benet from a long life and low cost of production. On 29 March
2012, an important announcement conrmed the planned consolidation of the four PGM assets in which
Pallinghurst has invested. It also reported the acquisition of a 16.2% stake in the consolidated vehicle
(NewCo) for an investment of ZAR3.24 billion by the Industrial Development Corporation, the prominent
South African sovereign investor. This is a tangible validation of our PGM vision and conrmation of
the signicant progress of our PGM strategy. Post the investment by the IDC, the consolidated vehicle
should not require any further investment by the Company and no Rights Offer funds are planned to be
allocated to the PGM strategy.
5. PARTICULARS OF THE PRE-PLACEMENT

capital raising, the Company has concluded the Pre-placement in advance of the Rights Offer, whereby
the Pre-placement Participants, under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, have subscribed for

ZAR420.33million representing 52.54% of the total Rights Offer Shares available in the Rights Offer.

the Company on or around Wednesday 2 May 2012.

On 31 August 2011, the Company agreed to act as a limited guarantor for the lease of Fabergs New
York retail outlet at 694 Madison Avenue. The limited guarantee extends to the Company being liable
for the payment of rent for the outlet if the landlord takes legal action to evict Faberg for non-payment
of rent or other charges, and only to the extent of the rent and charges from the date that legal action
commences to the date that Faberg moves out of the premises.
The Directors believe that there is a very low likelihood that this guarantee will be called upon. Their
assessment of the maximum amount of the Groups contingent liability is US$219,000. There is a degree
of uncertainty over this amount regarding the length of time Faberg might take to vacate the premises
in the event of legal action on the part of the landlord and, therefore, how much rent might become due.
However, the Directors believe that it is highly unlikely that the Group will become liable for any amounts
under this guarantee. The Group has not become liable for any amounts under this guarantee to date.
The Group had no other signicant contingent liabilities or contingent assets at the Last Practicable Date.
21. COMMITMENTS
Faberg loan commitment US$25 million fully drawn down
The Group committed to loan Faberg up to US$25 million on 24 May 2010. This was subsequently
amended on 27 July 2011 and the commitment can now be drawn upon by Faberg between 1 October
2010 and 31 July 2012. Faberg had drawn down US$21,500,000 by 31 December 2011. Faberg
has drawn down a further US$3,125,000 since 31 December 2011, and the Groups outstanding loan,
including a structuring fee of US$375,000 but excluding interest, is US$25 million. The commitment has
now been fully drawn down. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the loan, including structuring fee,
is due for repayment by 31 August 2012.
49
Commitment to participate in Faberg capital raising US$30 million
Faberg is undertaking a capital raising to fund its current expansion phase and enable further
implementation of its value-creating strategy. Faberg aims to raise up to US$30 million, which may take
the form of equity or debt. The Group has committed to participate in the capital raising.
No further commitments had been entered into at the Last Practicable Date.
22. MATERIAL CHANGES
Other than as described herein, there have been no other material changes relating to the trading or
nancial position of the Group subsequent to the release of the Groups results for the year ended
31December 2011.
22.1. Completion of Sedibelo transactions and IDC investment
The Group previously had a commitment to take up its share of the investment in Sedibelo.
Sedibelo is located on the Western Limb of the Bushveld Complex and is contiguous to both PPM
and Magazynskraal. The Bakgatla previously held 100% of Sedibelo, having acquired the nal 10%
interest in the rst half of 2011, which was previously held by Barrick Platinum South Africa (Pty)
Limited. During March 2011, a suite of transactions was announced that provides the platform for
the consolidation of PPM, Sedibelo and Magazynskraal. In particular, the Pallinghurst Co-Investors
would acquire a 49.9% stake in Sedibelo from the Bakgatla, and interests in certain other assets.
Completion of the suite of transactions was subject to various conditions, including approval for
the acquisition from the South African Department of Mineral Resources (DMR). The suite of
transactions was completed in May 2012 subsequent to the receipt of this approval. In addition,
Platmin has also received the DMR approvals necessary for the completion of its acquisition of
Sedibelo West.
During March 2012, the IDC agreed to invest, upon the consolidation of the PGM Properties,
ZAR3.24 billion, in return for 16.2% of the consolidated entity. The IDC investment is expected
to be completed during 2012. The Directors believe that the completion of the IDCs investment
into the consolidated entity may have a positive effect on the Companys NAV, which it is not
yet possible to quantify. Completion of the consolidation and the IDC investment are subject to
variousconditions.
22.2. Faberg Limited loan
During 2010, the Company provided a commitment to loan Faberg up to US$25 million, which
could be drawn down at any point up until 31 July 2012. The amount drawn down at 31 December
2011 was US$21,500,000. Faberg Limited has drawn down a further US$3,125,000 subsequent
to the year end. The outstanding balance has therefore increased to US$25 million (including
structuring fee, excludinginterest).
22.3. Jupiter
The Jupiter share price has fallen since 31 December 2011. The estimated impact of this non-adjusting
event is as follows: The Jupiter share price on 23 May 2012 was AUD0.1825 and the exchange
50
rate was US$1:AUD1.0113. The fair value of the Companys investment was US$ 54,321,016, which
is US$31,434,762 lower than the valuation of US$85,755,778 included in the balance sheet at
31December 2011.
22.4. Gemelds
The Gemelds share price has increased since 31 December 2011. The estimated impact of this
non-adjusting event is as follows: The Gemelds share price on 23 May 2012 was GBP0.3700
and the exchange rate was US$1:GBP0.6330. The fair value of the Companys investment was
US$62,801,463, which is US$23,365,650 higher than the valuation of US$39,435,813 included in
the balance sheet at 31December 2011.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2011
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company is incorporated in Guernsey under the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. The address of
the Companys registered ofce is on the nal page of the Annual Report entitled Company Information.
The Company is an investment holding company.
The nancial statements are presented in United States dollars (US$) because the primary economic
environment in which the Group operates is denominated in US$. Foreign operations are included in
accordance with the policies set out in Note 3 Accounting policies.
2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS
Standards affecting the Financial Statements
On 12 May 2011, IFRS13 Fair Value Measurement (IFRS13) was published as part of the IASBs stated
agenda to update and standardise fair value measurement under IFRS. IFRS13 establishes a single
framework for measuring fair value, which applies to both nancial and non-nancial items. It provides
guidance on the determination of fair value and introduces consistent requirements for disclosure on
measurement. IFRS13 is compulsory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.
The Group early adopted IFRS13 during 2011 and reported under IFRS13 in its interim reporting for the
six months ended 30 June 2011. The adoption of IFRS13 has had a minor impact on the valuation of
the Groups listed investments compared to the previous valuations determined under IAS39 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and measurement (IAS39). Two prices are usually quoted for an equity listed
on a stock exchange, the bid price (the price that a buyer will pay) and the ask price (the price the seller
will accept). The mid price is the average of the bid and ask price.
The Directors consider the mid price to be a better representation of fair value than the bid price, and
the mid price is now used to value the Groups listed investments. Valuation using the mid price for listed
investments is allowed by IFRS13, whereas IAS39 required the use of the bid price. The adoption of
IFRS13 has had a minor impact on the Groups investment valuations.
Standards not affecting the Groups reported result or its nancial position
The following new and revised standards and interpretations have been adopted in the current year. Their
adoption has not had any signicant impact on the amounts reported in these Financial Statements, but
with the exception of the amendment to IFRS1 First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS1), may impact the accounting for the Groups future transactions or arrangements.
IFRIC19
Extinguishing Financial
Liabilities with Equity
Instruments
The interpretation provides guidance on accounting for debt for equity
swaps from the perspective of the borrower. If the Group incurred
debt and then extinguished this debt in exchange for equity, this may
now result in a gain or loss, whereas previously no gain or loss would
have been recognised.
59
Amendment to IFRS1 Limited
Exemption from Comparative
IFRS 7 Disclosures for First-
time Adopters
The amendment provides a limited exemption for rst time adopters
from providing comparative fair value hierarchy disclosures under
IFRS7 Financial Instrument Disclosures (IFRS7)
IAS24 (2009)
Related Party Disclosures
(IAS24)
The revised Standard has a new, clearer denition of a related party,
and certain inconsistencies that existed under the previous denition
have been removed.
Amendment to IAS32 Financial
Instruments: Presentation
(IAS32) Classication of
Rights Issues
Under the amendment, rights issues of instruments issued to acquire
a xed number of an entitys own non-derivative equity instruments
for a xed amount in any currency and which otherwise meet the
denition of equity are classied as equity.
Amendment to IFRS3 Business
Combinations (IFRS3)
IFRS3 has been amended so that only those non-controlling interests
which are current ownership interests and which entitle their holders to
a proportionate share of net assets upon liquidation can be measured
at fair value or the proportionate share of net identiable assets. Other
non-controlling interests are usually measured at fair value.
The following amendments were made as part of Improvements to IFRSs (2010). Similarly, the adoption
of these amendments has not had any signicant impact on the amounts reported in these Financial
Statements, but could impact the accounting for the Groups future transactions or arrangements
Amendment to IFRS7 The amendment claries the required level of disclosure around
credit risk and collateral held and provides relief from disclosure of
renegotiated nancial assets.
New IFRS accounting standards not yet adopted
The following new standards have been issued but not yet adopted by the Group. Whilst the Directors
have not yet fully determined what the impact of each change will be, it is anticipated that the impact of
these new standards may be signicant.
On 12 November 2009, the IASB issued IFRS9 Financial Instruments (IFRS9) as the rst step in its
project to replace IAS39. IFRS9 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring nancial
assets, and originally had to be applied for periods commencing 1 January 2013 or later, with early
adoption permitted.
On 28 October 2010, the IASB reissued IFRS9, incorporating new requirements on accounting for
nancial liabilities, and carrying over from IAS39 the requirements for derecognition of nancial assets
and nancial liabilities. The Basis for Conclusions was also restructured, and IFRIC9 and the 2009
version of IFRS9 were withdrawn.
On 16 December 2011, the IASB issued Mandatory Effective Date and Transition Disclosures (amendments
to IFRS9 and IFRS7), which amended the effective date of IFRS9 to annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2015, and modied the relief from restating comparative periods and the associated
disclosures in IFRS7.
60
Once adopted, all nancial assets and liabilities within the scope of IFRS9 will be accounted for in
accordance with the standard. The impact on the Groups balance sheet may be signicant.
The IASB also issued three new accounting standards on 12 May 2011, IFRS10 Consolidated Financial
Statements (IFRS10), IFRS11 Joint Arrangements, (IFRS11), and IFRS12 Disclosures of Involvement
with Other Entities (IFRS12).
IFRS10 replaces IAS27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (IAS27) and SIC-12
Consolidation Special Purpose Entities (SIC-12). The objective of IFRS10 is to create a single basis for
consolidation for all entities, based on control. The standard provides a revised denition of control, with
detailed application guidance.
The guidance within IAS27 relating to separate nancial statements has not been replaced but has been
amended for the issuance of IFRS10 and retained within IAS27 Separate Financial Statements, which
was issued in May 2011 (IAS27 2011).
IFRS11 is the new standard used to account for joint arrangements, including joint operations and joint
ventures, and partially replaces IAS31. IAS28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures was also
issued in May 2011, and supersedes both IAS28 Investments in Associates, which was last amended in
2000, and IAS31.
IFRS12 requires extensive disclosures relating to an entitys interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangement,
associates or unconsolidated structured entities. The key principle is that an entity should disclose
information that helps users of its nancial statements evaluate the nature of and risks associated with
its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its nancial statements.
Each of the three new standards, and two amended standards, is effective for annual periods commencing
on or after 1 January 2013, although early application is permitted as long as each of the other standards
(together known as the package of ve) is adopted at the same time.
The Group currently takes advantage of the scope exemptions for venture capital companies contained
within IAS28 and IAS31, and accounts for associates and joint ventures within the Investment Portfolio
at fair value under IAS39. The Directors have assessed whether the package of ve will impact on the
Groups valuations or balance sheet, and believe that new measurement exemptions will mean there
should be no signicant difference to the Groups valuations post adoption, and therefore the impact
of the package of ve will be limited. The Directors have not yet decided whether to early adopt the
package of ve.
The following new and revised standards and interpretations, which have not been applied in these
nancial statements, were in issue but not yet effective:
IFRS1 (amended) Severe Hyperination and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters
IFRS7 (amended) Disclosures- Transfers of Financial Assets
IAS1 (amended) Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
IAS12 (amended) Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets
IAS19 (revised) Employee Benets
IAS32 (amended) Clarication of requirements for offsetting nancial instruments
IFRIC20 (new interpretation) Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
61
The Directors do not expect that the adoption of any of these standards and interpretations will have a
material impact on the Groups nancial statements in future periods. These standards will be applied in
the rst nancial period for which they are required. The Directors will consider whether to early adopt
specic standards where appropriate.
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and interpretations as issued by
the IASB. The Financial Statements also comply with the JSE Listing Requirements, the BSX Regulations
and The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historic cost basis, except for the valuation of
certain equity investments held within the Investment Portfolio. These equity investments are measured
at fair value not historic cost. Historic cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given
in exchange for the assets. Other than information contained within the Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows, the Financial Statements have been prepared on the accruals basis. The principal accounting
policies adopted by the Group are set out below.
Basis of consolidation
The Financial Statements incorporate the nancial statements of the Company and entities controlled
by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to 31 December each year. Control is achieved where the
Company has the power to govern the nancial and operating activities of an entity so as to obtain
benets from its activities.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are
no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions and balances
between the Group and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are presently exercisable are considered when
assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Changes in the Groups interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for
as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the Groups interests and the non-controlling interests are
adjusted to reect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the
amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid
or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
Going concern
At the date of these Financial Statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company
has adequate resources to continue in its activities for the foreseeable future. The Financial Statements
have therefore been prepared on the going concern basis.
The Groups cash balance has decreased over time as the Group has become more fully invested. The
Directors are pursuing various avenues to ensure that the Group is able to continue to operate effectively.
62
The Group may seek to raise new equity capital, or seek to put borrowing facilities in place or dispose
of assets, in part or in full. It is possible that the Group will not be successful in the pursuit of these
alternatives, which would have adverse implications.
Business combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost
of the business combination is measured as the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange)
of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group and the
Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. The acquirees identiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS3 are recognised at their fair
values at the acquisition date.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess
of the fair value of the consideration paid over the Groups interest in the fair value of the identiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. If the Groups interest in the fair value of the acquirees
identiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the
excess is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement. Transaction costs incurred in
connection with business combinations are expensed.
Acquisition of investments
As the Group is an investment holding company, accounting for new investments is as important as
accounting for new subsidiaries.
A new investment is incorporated into the Groups balance sheet, at the date of acquisition, at the fair
value of the asset acquired. The fair value of the consideration paid includes the fair value of assets given
and any liabilities incurred or assumed. The fair value of the investment acquired and the fair value of
the consideration are usually, but not always, equivalent. Any difference between the fair value of the
asset acquired and the fair value of the consideration paid is recognised immediately in prot or loss.
Any subsequent changes in the fair value of the investment acquired are recognised in prot or loss.
Transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of investments are expensed.
Investments in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Group has signicant inuence, but not control, over the
nancial and operating policies. The Groups associate entities include those associates that are held
as part of the Investment Portfolio, and associate entities through which the Group holds its underlying
investments.
Associates that hold the Groups underlying investments
Associates which hold the Groups underlying investments are accounted for using equity accounting.
Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at
cost and adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Groups share of associates net assets.
Equity accounting involves recognising the Groups share of its associates earnings for the year in
63
the income statement. The results of associate entities acquired and disposed of during the year are
included from the effective dates of acquisition to the effective dates of disposal.
The Groups interest in associates is carried at an amount that reects its share of the net assets of the
associate and any goodwill identied on acquisition of the associate, net of accumulated impairment
loss. The total carrying amount of associates is evaluated annually for impairment.
The most recent nancial information of associates is used. Adjustments are made to the associates
nancial results for material transactions and events in the intervening period. Losses of associates in
excess of the Groups interest are not recognised unless there is a binding obligation to contribute to
thelosses.
When a Group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, prots and losses are eliminated to the
extent of the Groups interest in the relevant associate.
Associates that are part of the Groups Investment Portfolio
Associates that are held as part of the Groups Investment Portfolio are measured at fair value underIAS39.
Joint ventures
A joint venture entity is an entity in which the Group holds a long-term interest and shares joint
control over the strategic, nancial and operating decisions with one or more other venturers under a
contractualarrangement.
Joint ventures that are part of the Groups Investment Portfolio
Investments in joint ventures that are held as part of the Groups Investment Portfolio are measured at
fair value under IAS39.
Joint ventures incorporated to hold the Groups underlying investments
Joint ventures incorporated for the purpose of holding underlying investments are accounted for
using proportionate consolidation. The Groups proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenue
and expenses of these joint ventures are combined on a line-by-line basis with similar items in the
primarystatements.
Accounting for the Investment Portfolio
(i) Classication
The Investment Portfolio includes listed and unlisted equity investments, loans and receivables and may
include other equity instruments such as convertible notes or debentures.
The Group has elected to account for all investments that are held as part of the Groups Investment
Portfolio at fair value. This includes associates over which the Group may have signicant inuence, and
joint venture entities which the Group jointly controls with one or more other venturers.
This is normal practice in the venture capital industry and makes the Financial Statements comparable
with those of similar organisations.
64
(ii) Recognition and derecognition
Recognition and derecognition occurs on the date where the acquisition or sale of an investment is
under a contract whose terms require the unconditional delivery or settlement of the investment.
(iii) Initial measurement
Listed and unlisted equity investments are designated at fair value through prot or loss (FVTPL) at
inception and are initially measured at the fair value of consideration paid. All investments are held at cost
until it is appropriate to measure fair value on a different basis.
(iv) Subsequent measurement of fair value
The Directors determine the measurement of each investment within the Investment Portfolio at fair
value, using the most appropriate basis.
Fair value under IFRS13 is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where no such transaction
exists, an estimate of fair value is made by the Directors.
Listed equity investments in an active market are usually valued at the mid price on valuation date.
The valuation of unlisted equity investments involves judgements and estimates by the Directors.
Anumber of different valuation methods can be used for unlisted investments. These include the cost
of investment, which is normally used for recent investments, or valuing the investment in line with the
price of a recent investment by a third party in an arms length transaction. Discounts for illiquidity may
be applied to investment valuations where appropriate and if allowed by IFRS.
The Group complies with all material aspects of the Valuation Guidelines when determining what method
to use to determine fair value. The Valuation Guidelines specify the valuation methodology which is the
most appropriate to use for each individual investment at each point in the investments lifecycle.
Other methodologies to determine fair value recommended by the Valuation Guidelines include using
an earnings or turnover multiple, share of net assets, the discounted cash ows (DCFs) or earnings of
the underlying business, the DCFs of the investment, or a relevant industry valuation benchmark. The
Directors may use any of these other valuation methodologies if deemed appropriate.
The Directors also consider whether there are any factors that could indicate that a diminution of value
in an investment has occurred, including the following:
The performance of the investment compared to original expectations;
Any unexpected deterioration in the cash position of the underlying business;
Any adverse or unexpected results from drilling or exploration activities; and
External factors such as deterioration in the global economy or industry.
(v) Loans and receivables
The Investment Portfolio includes loans made to portfolio companies. These loans and receivables are
recognised initially at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
65
These loans are repayable at various future dates, which may be within or outside of twelve months. All
such loans are disclosed as non-current assets in the balance sheet. When a loan has been made to a
portfolio company, it is often the case that the loan will be extended or converted into an equity interest
at the end of its ofcial term. Therefore, despite the legal terms of any loan agreement, the Directors
believe that all loans to portfolio companies should be shown as non-current assets, to give a full picture
of the Groups nancial position, and because the loan may not be repaid in cash. Accordingly, all loans
made to portfolio companies are included within the Investment Portfolio and shown as non-current
assets. This is normal practice in the venture capital industry and presents more useful information to
shareholders. If the Directors believed that a specic loan to a portfolio company would be repaid within
twelve months, the balance would be classied as current.
(vi) Fair value measurement hierarchy
IFRS7 requires disclosure of fair value measurements under the following hierarchy:
Listed prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level one);
Inputs other than listed prices included within level one that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level two); and
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable
inputs) (level three).
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the asset or liability is categorised is determined on the
basis of the lowest input that is signicant to the fair value measurement. Financial assets and nancial
liabilities are classied in their entirety into one of the three levels.
(vii) Amendment to presentation of fair value and foreign exchange movements
In previous reporting periods, fair value gains or losses on investments in the Investment Portfolio were
presented as a single net number on the face of the Income Statement. Foreign exchange gains or
losses on investments were also presented net on the face of the Income Statement. The fair value
gain or loss and the foreign exchange gain or loss on each investment was included in the segmental
reporting and investment notes.
The Directors have chosen to amend this presentation in the current year. Gross fair value gains,
gross fair value losses, gross foreign exchange gains and gross foreign exchange losses are each now
presented on the face of the Income Statement. The Financial Statements contain the same information,
presented slightly differently. A user of the Financial Statements is now able to see the gross fair value
gain and the gross fair value loss directly on the face of the Income Statement. Previously, if a user had
wanted this specic information, they would have needed to review the Groups segmental reporting and
investments notes to review the relevant gains/losses by investment. This detail is still included in the
aforementioned notes.
The change does not impact on the Balance Sheet or any component of equity in the current or any
priorperiods.
The Directors therefore believe that the inclusion of a restated Balance Sheet at 31 December 2009 (the
beginning of the earliest prior period presented) would not be helpful to users of the Financial Statements
and a third balance sheet has not been presented.
66
Trade and other receivables
The Groups operating activities are to acquire, hold and dispose of investments; it does not carry out
other trading activities. The trade and other receivables balance may relate to balances receivable upon
the exit from an investment. Trade and other receivables also includes prepayments.
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and are subsequently measured at
amortised cost. A provision for impairment of trade and other receivables is made if there is sufcient
evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash balances held at bank and in on demand deposits. All the
Groups cash balances are either accessible on demand, or with a notice period of up to 32 days. Cash
and cash equivalents are categorised as loans and receivables for the purpose of IAS39.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are not interest bearing and are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortised cost. Trade and other payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into US$ at the balance sheet date.
Share capital
(i) Ordinary Shares
Ordinary Shares are classied as equity. Issued share capital is stated at the amount of the proceeds
received less directly attributable issue costs.
(ii) Management Shares
Management Shares are also classied as equity. The Management Shares are intended for use at the
point when the Company is wound up. In the event of a windup, Management Shares carry the right
to receive notice of, attend and vote at any general meeting of the Company, provided that no ordinary
shares are in issue at such date. Holders of the Management Shares will only receive their nominal value
once the holders of the Ordinary Shares have received the fair value of their shares. Accordingly, the
holders of Management Shares do not have the right to receive nor participate in distributions of the
Company, including dividends.
Gains/losses on investments
Gains/losses realised on disposal of investments are calculated as the net proceeds of the disposal less
the carrying value of the asset in the balance sheet at the date of disposal.
Unrealised movements in the fair value of investments relate to changes in the fair value of investments
between the opening and closing balance sheet date. Unrealised foreign exchange gains and losses
occur when investments are denominated in currencies other than US$ and relate to the movement in
exchange rates between the opening and closing balance sheet date.
67
Investment Portfolio revenue
Portfolio revenue is directly related to the return from investments within the Investment Portfolio. The
balance includes fee income earned directly from portfolio companies, interest on loans made to portfolio
companies and dividends received from portfolio companies.
Portfolio revenue is recognised in prot or loss when the Groups right to receive payment is established
and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Other income
Other income includes dividends received from entities not within the Investment Portfolio and other
income not related to the Investment Portfolio.
Other income is recognised in prot or loss when the Groups right to receive payment is established and
the amount of income can be measured reliably.
Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is charged or credited
to the income statement, or to the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it
relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case the taxation effect is recognised in equity.
There are no items recognised directly in equity in the current period, hence there are no related tax
charges or credits.
Current income tax is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date in countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income. The
Company is incorporated in Guernsey and is an Exempt Collective Investment Scheme under the
Income Tax (Zero-10) (Guernsey) (No 2) Law 2007.
Deferred tax is provided for in accordance with IAS12 Income Taxes, providing for the tax effect of
temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes
and the amounts used for tax assessment. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax
rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.
The only current impact of deferred tax on the Company relates to deferred tax on unrealised fair value
gains/ losses within the portfolio of investments.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax
assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable prots will be available against which
deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the
temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill on an asset or liability in a transaction
(other than in a business combination) that affects neither taxable prot nor accounting prot.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets on a net basis.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets may be recognised in the future if sufcient taxable prots become
available in the relevant jurisdictions.
68
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
EPS is a key performance measure, based on attributable prot for the year divided by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
Diluted Earnings Per Share (DEPS) is presented when the inclusion of potential ordinary shares has a
dilutive effect on earnings per share. There are no dilutive indicators or dilutive ordinary shares in issue,
and as such DEPS is equal to EPS in the current and prior year.
Headline Earnings Per Share (HEPS)
HEPS is similar to EPS, except that attributable prot specically excludes certain items, as set out in
Circular 3/2009 Headline earnings (Circular 3/2009) issued by the South African Institute of Chartered
Accountants (SAICA).
The gain or loss on disposal of an associate would normally be excluded from headline earnings (and
HEPS). However, per Circular 3/2009, private equity companies should include gains or losses on
disposal of associates in HEPS because any prot realised on the disposal of these investments is
considered to be part of the trading results of private equity operations and the prot does not relate
to the capital platform of the business as would normally be the case. Circular 3/2009 further explains
that in this context, the choice to recognise an investment in an associate at fair value through prot or
loss, instead of applying equity accounting, does not imply that the investment is part of the capital or
platform of the business and should not have any impact on the decision to include the gain or loss on
disposal of associates within headline earnings. Therefore where a gain or loss is made on the disposal
of an associate that is part of the Investment Portfolio the item is included within headline earnings. If an
associate that is part of the capital structure of the Group were to be disposed of the arising gain or loss
would be excluded from headline earnings in line with the guidance from SAICA.
Foreign currencies
The individual nancial statements of each Group company are presented in the currency of the
primary economic environment in which it operates (its functional currency). For the purposes of the
Groups Financial Statements, the results and nancial position of each Group company are expressed
in US$, which is the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the
FinancialStatements.
Transactions entered into by Group entities are recorded in their functional currencies at the exchange
rate on the day of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on the
retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in the income statement.
For the purpose of presenting Financial Statements, the assets and liabilities of the Groups foreign
operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense
items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates uctuate
signicantly during the period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used.
Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in
equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).
69
On disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Groups entire interest in a foreign operation, or
a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, loss of signicant
inuence over an associate that includes a foreign operation, or loss of joint control over a jointly controlled
entity that includes a foreign operation), all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that
operation attributable to the Group are reclassied to prot or loss.
Derivatives
Derivatives are occasionally used by the Group to manage risks associated with foreign currency
uctuations. These usually relate to the Investment Portfolio, particularly when entering into and exiting
from investments. This risk management is normally implemented by the use of foreign currency
forwardcontracts.
The Directors also consider the use of currency swaps in certain circumstances, either to facilitate the
making of new investments, or if appropriate whilst raising new equity share capital.
The Group may also acquire derivatives as part of the Investment Portfolio in certain circumstances,
such as entering into convertible notes, convertible bonds or other equity derivatives.
Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value on the contract date and subsequently remeasured to
the fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of nancial instruments are taken to the
income statement, or other comprehensive income if appropriate.
Critical accounting judgements and estimates
In the application of the Groups accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that materially affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income
andexpenses.
The most critical accounting estimates and assumptions relate to the valuation of the Groups portfolio of
investments. Carrying out impairment assessments for the Groups unlisted investments is both difcult
and subjective. Details of the fair valuation methodologies for each investment are set out in Note 11
Investments.
Estimates and assumptions used are reviewed periodically. Although the Directors estimates of fair
value are subjective, the Directors believe that they are materially accurate.
4. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The Groups segmental reporting is based around its four Investment Platforms (Luxury Brands, Steel
Making Materials, Coloured Gemstones and PGMs), each of which is categorised as an operating
segment.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is Mr Gilbertson, the Chairman, who measures the
performance of each operating segment by assessing the fair value of the Groups Investment Portfolio
on a regular basis.

5. REALISED FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAIN ON JUPITER FORWARD CONTRACT AND
FAIR VALUE LOSS ON ACQUISITION OF JUPITER SHARES
On 31 January 2011, Jupiter announced that it intended to raise AUD150 million by way of an issue of
new equity shares. The majority of the funds have been allocated towards Jupiters 49.9% share of the
capital expenditure for the Tshipi Borwa project. As part of the capital raising, Jupiter issued 214,340,334
shares at AUD0.70 per share.
The Group contributed AUD5.5 million to the capital raising in return for 7,857,143 new Jupiter shares. The
capital raising was partially to new investors (AUD98.5 million) and partially to related parties (per the
Australian Stock Exchanges (ASX) denition of a related party) including the Group (AUD51.5million).
The new shares were issued in two tranches; the issue of shares to related parties required approval
at a shareholder EGM, which occurred on 6 April 2011. The Group received its new shares on 29 April
2011. Its effective interest in Jupiter was diluted from 18.2% to 16.5% on this date.
On 8 February 2011, a Group company placed a forward contract with Rabobank, committing to acquire
US$5,568,750 for AUD5,500,000, giving an effective exchange rate of US$1:AUD0.9877. The fair value of
72
the contract acquired was equal to the consideration paid and no gain or loss was recognised on initial
acquisition.
On 6 April 2011, at the Jupiter EGM, the capital raising was approved and the Group received 7,857,143
shares on 29 April 2011.
The Group realised a foreign exchange gain on the forward contract, as follows:

depth knowledge of assets, companies, people and trends. They are recognised for their strategic insight
and vision, are highly regarded by international investors, and are renowned for pioneering innovative
transactions.
The Partners of the Investment Manager have over 100 years of collective experience in the resources
sector.
Investment Managers Benet
The Investment Manager is entitled to an Investment Managers Benet of 1.5% per annum of the amount
subscribed for in the Company during the Investment Period
1
. With effect from the end of the Investment
Period, the Investment Manager is entitled to an amount of 1.5% per annum of the lesser of the aggregate
acquisition cost or fair value of the Companys unrealised investments during the relevantperiod.
The total charge to the Income Statement for the Investment Managers Benet during the year was
US$4,627,775 (2010: US$4,626,149).
Performance Incentive
Subject to certain conditions, the Investment Manager is entitled to a Performance Incentive related
to the performance of the Groups investments. The excess of the total funds available for return to
shareholders, over the total amount subscribed for in the Company, will be split between the shareholders
and the Investment Manager
2
in the ratio 80%/20%. This is subject to meeting a Hurdle
3
of 8% per
annum; until the Hurdle is reached, the Investment Manager is not entitled to the Performance Incentive,
ensuring that the Investment Manager would only be rewarded if aggregate returns to shareholders are
in excess of 8% per year.
Whether a sufcient return has been made, and whether the Performance Incentive is payable, is only
assessed at the end of the Investment Period. However, the Directors assess whether a Performance
Incentive accrual should be made at the end of each reporting period. The Directors also assess whether
the accrual should be accounted for as a current or non-current liability, based on their best assessment
of the likely timing of any outow.
The accrual for the Performance Incentive is calculated as follows:
(a) The Groups Aggregate Proceeds
4
are allocated entirely to shareholders until such time as
shareholders have received an aggregate amount of the Companys Funds
5
plus the Hurdle;
(b) Thereafter, the Investment Manager is allocated all further Aggregate Proceeds until it has been
allocated an amount equal to 25% of the Hurdle; and
(c) Aggregate Proceeds are then allocated 80% to Investors and 20% to the Investment Manager.
74
An accrual for the Performance Incentive of US$32,512,233 was made at 31 December 2010. During the
year to 31 December 2011, the fall in the Groups NAV has meant that the Performance Incentive accrual
previously recognised has been reversed, and is US$nil at the year end (31 December 2010: accrual of
US$32,512,233).
1
The Investment Period is commenced on 14 September 2007. The Investment Period can end under various circumstances, including
if shareholders approve that the period should end in a general meeting by Special Resolution. The Investment Period may end on 14
September 2012, the ve year anniversary of the Companys incorporation, unless shareholders agree that it should be extended. The
Investment Period has not yet ended.
2
A Performance Incentive payment could be made to the Investment Manager or to an afliate of the Investment Manager.
3
The Hurdle is calculated as 8% of the Companys Funds, compounded annually each year, and calculated daily.
4
Aggregate Proceeds are effectively equal to the Groups NAV, after adding back any accrual for the Performance Incentive. For the
purposes of the accrual calculation, it is assumed that investments will be disposed of for an amount equal to their current fair value, with
no associated transaction costs, and full distribution of proceeds to shareholders. The Groups NAV, after adding back any Performance
Incentive accrual, is therefore the best current estimate of what the total amount available for distribution would be.
5
The Companys Funds are effectively equal to the sum of the Companys share capital and share premium.

The prevailing rate of tax in Guernsey is 0%. The Company pays an annual exempt tax fee of 600,
as it is an Exempt Collective Investment Scheme under the Income Tax (Zero-10) (Guernsey) (No 2)
Law 2007. This fee is included in operating costs. Where applicable, taxation for other jurisdictions is
calculated at the relevant prevailing rates.

Tax credit/(expense) for the year 42,113,518 (42,113,518)
The Group should normally anticipate a tax rate of zero, based on the 0% corporate tax rate in Guernsey.
The Groups effective tax rate in 2010 was 26.6%, based on the recognition of a deferred tax liability
relating to an increase in fair value of the Jupiter investment. In 2011, this fair value increase reversed,
resulting in a deferred tax credit of US$42,113,518 during 2011. The Groups effective tax rate during
2011 was (36.8%), based on the recognition of this deferred tax credit.
The deferred tax credit of US$42,113,518 (2010: expense of US$42,113,518) relates solely to the changes
in fair value of the Jupiter investment. See Note 16 Deferred tax for more detail.
No amounts relating to tax have been recognised either in other comprehensive income, or directly
inequity.

The Group has provided a commitment to loan Faberg Limited up to US$25,000,000, which can be drawn down until 31 July 2012. At
31 December 2011, Faberg Limited had drawn down US$21,500,000. The US$375,000 structuring fee for the arrangement of the loan
accrued at the date of the rst drawdown. The loan is earning interest at three month US$ LIBOR plus 4%. A further US$3,000,000 has
76
been drawn down since 31 December 2011; the outstanding balance at the date of signature of the Annual Report is US$24,500,000
(excluding interest and structuring fee). The balance of the loan, including interest, is due for repayment by 31 August 2012.
2
The Group provided a loan of US$25,845,409 to Platmin in two tranches during March and May 2010. The loan earned interest at the
Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate (JIBAR) plus 2%. Platmin repaid the outstanding loan of US$28,821,690 including accrued interest
and the structuring fee on 28 February 2011.
3
The Group acquired an indirect interest in a convertible note issued by Platmin (the Platmin Note) on 13 May 2010. The fair value of
the Platmin Note at 31 December 2010 was US$9,182,662. On 31 March 2011 the convertible notes were converted in full. The Group
received an indirect interest in 10,875,716 shares in Platmin. The fair value of the Platmin shares received was US$9,002,629, and the
Group realised a loss on conversion of US$180,033. As a result of the conversion, the Groups see through interest in Platmin decreased
from 7.64% to 7.49%.
4
Platmin delisted from AIM, the JSE and the TSX during 2011. Platmin suspended its listing on the JSE on 23 December 2011, and the
last JSE trading day was 22 December 2011. Accordingly, the Groups investment in Platmin has been reclassied from listed to unlisted
equity investments in the Platmin reclassication column.

The Group acquired an indirect interest in a convertible note issued by Platmin (the Platmin Note) on 13 May 2010. The initial terms
were as follows:
The Platmin Note was non-interest bearing and denominated in US$;
The Platmin Note could be converted into Platmin shares at any time between acquisition and 31 December 2010; and
The Platmin Note had a conversion ratio of 1:US$ 1.215, and was convertible into 7,519,013 Platmin equity shares.
77
The terms of the convertible note were subsequently amended; the period of conversion was rst extended on 22 December 2010 and
on 18 February 2011, Platmin announced a reduction of the conversion price from 1:US$ 1.215 to 1:US$ 0.84. The period of conversion
was extended again on 28 February 2011. The reconciliation of the valuation of the Platmin Note from acquisition until 31 December
2010 is as follows:
US$
Cost of Platmin Note 9,135,600
Unrealised gain recognised at acquisition 1,683,550
Fair value of Platmin Note at acquisition 10,819,150
Unrealised fair value loss between 13 May 2010 and 31 December 2010 (1,636,488)
Fair value of Platmin Note at 31 December 2010 9,182,662
The valuation methodologies and other details for the Groups investments at 31 December 2011 are
detailed below. The JSE requires certain further information to be disclosed on the Groups ten largest
investments. Fewer than ten separate investments were held at current and prior balance sheet dates;
accordingly the following details are included for each investment in the Investment Portfolio.
Platmin Limited
Nature of investment Platmin is a mineral exploration, development and producing company
engaged in the exploration and the development of PGM projects, all located
in the Bushveld Complex. Platmin owns a 72.39% interest in Boynton, which
owns the PPM. The remaining 27.61% interest in Boynton is owned by the
Moepi Group of Companies.
The Groups indirect interest in Platmin was 7.49% at 31 December 2011.
The Groups initial investment was made in December 2008. The Groups
cost of investment is US$52,834,183.
Fair value methodology Platmin has now delisted from all of its previous listings, which were on the
TSX, AIM and the JSE. It is therefore no longer possible to value Platmin
using a listed share price.
Platmin commissioned a valuation report during the period which contained
a range of valuations. The Directors have valued Platmin from within this
range, based on a share price of CAD0.80 per share, and the closing
exchange rate of US$1:CAD1.0200.
Platmins last day of trading on the TSX was 23 December 2011; the mid
price of Platmin shares was CAD0.1475. The Directors do not believe that
this price gives an accurate reection of Platmins fair value. This price was
based on low volumes of shares traded; this lack of liquidity is one of the
reasons why the Platmin Board of Directors chose to delist Platmin in the
rst place.
78
Gemelds plc
Nature of investment Gemelds is a leading international coloured gemstone producer, primarily
focused on emeralds, and listed on AIM.
The Group owns a see through interest of 33.09% in Gemelds plc.
The Groups cost of investment is US$55,198,324 and the initial investment
was made in October 2007.
Fair value methodology Listed share price
The closing Gemelds mid price on AIM of GBP0.2375 per share, translated
at the closing exchange rate of US$1:GBP0.6471.
Jupiter Mines Limited
Nature of investment Jupiter is the ASX-listed mining company through which the Steel Making
Materials strategy is being pursued. Jupiter owns various assets in Western
Australia, including the Mount Ida magnetite iron ore project, the Mount
Mason DSO hematite project, and a 49.9% interest in the Tshipi manganese
joint venture in South Africa.
The Groups initial investment into Jupiter was made in May 2008. The Group
owned an effective 16.66% interest in Jupiter at the year end.
The Groups cash cost of investment is approximately US$14 million.
Fair value methodology Listed share price
The closing Jupiter mid price of AUD0.2800 per share on the ASX, translated
at the closing foreign exchange rate of US$1:AUD0.9829.
Faberg Limited
Nature of investment Faberg Limited is a luxury brand.
The Group currently owns an effective 49.1% interest in the ordinary shares
of Faberg Limited.
The Groups cost of investment is US$60,976,074. The Groups initial
investment was made in September 2007.
Fair value methodology Price of recent investment
Faberg Limited completed a capital raising during September 2009 to
both existing and new investors, including the Group. The Directors valued
the investment in Faberg Limited in line with the price per share of this
capitalraising.
79
Faberg Limited is unlisted, there have been relatively few transactions
in Faberg Limited shares and determining the fair value of the Groups
investment is difcult. The Directors have consistently applied the price of
recent investment methodology since September 2009, but acknowledge
that the September 2009 capital raising price becomes less recent and
relevant as time passes, and that using this event for valuation becomes
more difcult. The Directors have concluded that the current valuation
methodology is reasonable, but stress its subjectivity.
There have been various transactions in Faberg Limited shares since
September 2009 at a similar price per share to the September 2009 price.
These transactions were each immaterial, but nonetheless give some
support to maintaining this valuation level.
The Directors have considered whether other valuation methodologies could
be suitable for Faberg Limited, and in particular whether a valuation based
on discounted cash ow (DCF) analysis could be relevant. DCF analysis
is based on various assumptions, including Faberg Limiteds projected
cash inows and outows, and the discount rate that should be used.
Accordingly, depending on what assumptions are used, DCF analysis could
imply a materially higher, or materially lower, Faberg Limited valuation. For
this reason, the Valuation Guidelines recommend extreme caution in the
use of DCF analysis for valuation of unlisted investments, and note that the
use of another methodology, such as the price of a recent investment, is
more likely to be appropriate in most circumstances.
After having considered all the relevant indicators, the Directors have
concluded that there is no conclusive contradictory evidence to either
increase or decrease the valuation. The Directors therefore have concluded
that the fair value at the previous reporting date remains the best estimate of
fair value, and have continued to use this valuation. This treatment complies
with IFRS and is required by the Valuation Guidelines.
Faberg Limiteds most recent annual report, for the year to 31 March
2011 was issued on 5 August 2011. The audit opinion, from BDO LLP, was
positive, and did not draw attention to any emphases of matter. Faberg
Limiteds net assets at 31 March 2011 were US$57 million (audited). Faberg
Limiteds net assets at 31 December 2011 were US$45 million (unaudited).
The Groups 49.1% share of Faberg Limiteds net assets at 31 December
2011 would have been approximately US$22 million, whereas the fair value
of the Groups investment at 31 December 2011 was US$86,633,377. This
difference effectively equates to the incremental value added to the Faberg
Limited brand since the initial acquisition during 2007 because, in line
with the requirements of IAS38 Intangible Assets, this internally generated
goodwill is not capitalised on Faberg Limiteds own balance sheet.
80
The Moepi Group companies Boynton
Nature of investment The Moepi Group companies hold a 27.61% interest in Boynton, the other
72.39% of which is owned by Platmin. Boynton is an unlisted operating
company with interests in various PGM projects in the Bushveld Complex.
The Group owns an effective 2.48% interest in the ordinary shares of Boynton
via the Moepi Group companies.
Fair value methodology Price of recent investment- acquisition cost
The Groups cost of investment is US$13,373,315. The Groups initial
investment was made in August 2008.
The Directors have assessed the investment for any indicators of impairment,
based mainly on PGM prices and do not believe that any such indicators
exist.
The Directors believe that the fair value of each of the Groups African Queen
assets is prudent in the context of the anticipated Consolidation.
Richtrau No 123 (Pty) Ltd Richtrau/Magazynskraal
Nature of investment Richtrau is the company which owns the prospecting right over the
Magazynskraal property.
Magazynskraal is located on the Western Limb of the Bushveld Complex in
close proximity to PPM and Sedibelo. Studies suggest that Magazynskraal
has an estimated resource of 23 million 4E PGM ounces.
The Group owns an effective 6.19% interest in the ordinary shares of Richtrau.
Fair value methodology Price of recent investment- acquisition cost
The Groups cost of investment is US$36,621,344. The initial investment was
made in December 2008.
Richtrau is an unlisted company, with platinum reserves but no operations.
Using similar companies to value Richtrau is relatively difcult as no prospect/
company is exactly the same. Valuation is therefore relatively difcult and
subjective.
The Directors have assessed the investment for any indicators of impairment,
based mainly on PGM prices and do not believe that any such indicators
exist.
The Directors believe that the fair value of each of the Groups African Queen
assets is prudent in the context of the anticipated Consolidation.

As described in Note 23 Commitments, a series of transactions was announced during March 2011
that provides the platform for the consolidation of PPM, Sedibelo and Magazynskraal. In particular, the
Pallinghurst Co-Investors will acquire a 49.9% stake in Sedibelo, and interests in certain other assets. It
is anticipated that the cash outows will be material to the Group.
During 2011, US$23,559,037 (2010: US$30,452) was invested into two of the Groups associates,
Pallinghurst Ivy Lane Capital Limited (Ivy Lane, formerly known as Ivy Lane Capital Limited), and
Pallinghurst Investor Consortium (Pty) Ltd (PIC Pty), allocated for the Groups share of various anticipated
outows. The difference between the net assets of Ivy Lane at 31 December 2011 (US$21,257,603) and
31 December 2010 (US$176,536) is mostly due to this inow.
The associates listed above are all investment holding companies, and accordingly do not earn any
revenue or other income, other than, in some instances, nance income.
All associates nancial year ends are 31 December.
All holdings in associates are over 20% except for PIC Pty, in which the Groups shareholding is 18.56%.
Although the Groups interest is below 20%, the Group has signicant inuence over PIC Pty. The other
shareholders are other Pallinghurst Co-Investors; each shareholder, including the Group, is able to exert
signicant inuence over their shareholding, as the Pallinghurst Co-Investors are able to act collectively
to control the entity, see About the Group for more detail.
82
The fair value of each associate is considered to be equal to the consolidated net asset value. None of
the associates are listed on a stock exchange.
The Group holds interests in two investments, Gemelds and Faberg Limited, which would usually
be equity accounted for as associates, as the Groups interests are each between 20% and 50%.
The Group accounts for these investments under IAS39 at fair value as outlined in Note3 Accounting
policies.
The distribution of dividends or repayment of loans from PIC Pty would be subject to South African
Exchange Controls. There are no other signicant restrictions or regulatory requirements which could
impact on the ability of any of the Groups associates listed above, to transfer funds, such as dividends
or repayment of loans, back to the Group.

Credited to the Income Statement 42,113,518 42,113,518
At 31 December 2011
At 31 December 2010, the Group recognised a deferred tax liability relating to the unrealised fair value
gains on the Jupiter investment. This gain, multiplied by relevant Australian tax rates, resulted in a
potential liability of US$42,113,518. During 2011, the valuation of the Groups investment in Jupiter has
signicantly declined, and the tax base of the asset is now above its carrying amount, so a credit of
US$42,113,518 has been recognised in the Income Statement, reducing the liability to zero. In periods
prior to 2010, the Group did not have any unrealised fair value gains which resulted in the need to provide
for a deferred tax liability.
The Group has not recognised any deferred tax assets in either the current or prior year. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities may be offset where the Group has a legally enforceable right to do so. No such
offsetting has occurred in the current or prior years.
At the balance sheet date the Group had unrecognised tax losses of US$21,633,206 (2010:
US$30,266,844). No deferred tax asset has been recognised in relation to these losses as it is not
considered probable that there will be future taxable prots available, in the relevant jurisdictions, for the
Group to utilise these losses. The losses may be carried forward indenitely.
Temporary differences relating to the unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries and associates are
not signicant.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Groups capital structure
The Groups objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Groups ability to continue as a
going concern while taking advantage of strategic opportunities in order to provide sustainable returns
for shareholders.
The Groups capital mostly consists of equity shares. There are also two Management Shares, as
described in Note 17 Share capital. The Companys Articles restrict borrowing to 30% of total assets.
The Group currently has no borrowing or borrowing facilities and therefore the Directors do not formally
monitor the Groups gearing ratio. The Group is not subject to any external capital requirements. No
dividends have been paid out to shareholders since incorporation. No changes have been made to the
Groups capital management objectives, policies or procedures during either 2011 or 2010.
Signicant accounting policies
Details of the Groups signicant accounting policies for each class of nancial asset, nancial liability
and equity instrument, including for initial recognition and subsequent remeasurement are disclosed in
Note 3 Accounting policies.

The methodologies used to determine the fair value of the Groups listed and unlisted equity investments
are based on the Valuation Guidelines. The specic methodologies for each investment are disclosed
more fully in Note 11 Investments. The fair values of the Groups unlisted equity investments in Moepi and
Magazynskraal approximate to their carrying values.
On occasion, the Group makes loans to investments within the Investment Portfolio, including, in the
current and prior periods, loans to Faberg Limited and Platmin. These investments may be unlisted and
may not be assessed regularly by external credit rating agencies, meaning that no formal credit rating
would exist.
86
The Groups only loan at the balance sheet date is the Faberg Limited loan (US$22,436,091, including
accrued interest and structuring fee). Faberg Limited is unlisted, and does not have an external credit
rating. The Directors believe that the risk of Faberg Limited defaulting on the loan is remote. However,
the Directors acknowledge that Faberg Limited may request that the loan is converted into equity, rather
than repaid; any such request would be considered at the appropriate time. The Directors have access
to Faberg Limiteds strategic planning and details of its nancial position, and are fully aware of why it
requires loan funding. As such, whilst the Directors believe that there is some credit risk associated with
the loan, the risk is acceptable.
Other loans and receivables reect interest receivable balances within the Group; no credit losses are
anticipated, and the carrying value should equate to fair value.
The carrying value of other nancial liabilities held at amortised cost equated to fair value, due to the
short-term maturities of these instruments. The Group did not hold any nancial liabilities carried at
FVTPL during the year.
There have been no reclassications between categories of nancial assets during 2011 (2010; no
reclassications). The Groups equity investment in Platmin continues to be categorised as at FVTPL;
although it is now an unlisted investment, rather than listed, its IAS39 categorisation remains unchanged
and no further disclosure is required.
The prior nancial liabilities liquidity risk disclosure included deferred tax liabilities as a nancial liability
(nancial liabilities were stated as US$74,919,252, not US$32,805,734). The 2010 balance has therefore
been restated to exclude deferred tax liabilities, as these are statutory, not contractual, liabilities and
are not nancial liabilities. Additionally, US$38,116 of prepayments at 31 December 2010 have been
categorised as prepayments rather than Other loans and receivables, and omitted from the comparative
IFRS7 analysis.
Financial instruments and risk prole
The Group is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of nancial instrument related risks. The Directors
monitor each of these risks, and an approved risk management policy is in place. The types of risk
exposure and quantication of the level of exposure in the balance sheet is provided as follows:
Market risk (including interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, price risk on the Groups
Investment Portfolio, and commodityrisk);
Credit risk; and
Liquidity risk.
The Group does not enter into derivative nancial instruments for speculative purposes, and does not
trade derivatives. There are currently no open derivative positions within the Group.
Market risk
The signicant market risks affecting the Group are foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and market
price risk (relating to the Investment Portfolio).
87
The sensitivity analyses disclosed below show the potential impact of possible changes in relevant
foreign exchange rates, interest rates and listed/unlisted equity prices on the Groups nancial position
at the year end. The only relevant assumption that has been made is that all sensitivities impacting the
Income Statement also impact equity.
There has been no change to the Groups exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks
are managed or measured during the period.
Foreign exchange risk
The Group undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. It
is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk.
IFRS7 considers the foreign exchange exposure relating to nonmonetary assets and liabilities to be a
component of market price risk not foreign currency risk. However, the Directors monitor the exposure
on all foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The table below has therefore been analysed
between monetary and nonmonetary items to meet the requirements of IFRS7.
The Group has entered into various equity and loan investments, denominated in currencies other than
the US Dollar (US$). These are translated at the end of each reporting period, and the related foreign
exchange gain or loss is reected in the income statement. The Directors consider the denomination of
each investment as part of the initial investment appraisal process.
The Groups policy is to hold all cash balances in US$ at all times, other than when allocated for a
specic investment or for specic, material expenses. Cash balances are translated into a currency other
than US$ only when an outow of cash is imminent, or if required for legal or statutory reasons.
The Group may occasionally hold balances in currencies other than the US$ for a material investment which
is considered likely but is not yet certain, giving rise to potential foreign exchange risk if the investment
does not occur and the balance is translated back into US$ at a different exchange rate. Alternatively,
for specic material cash outows, on investments or expenses, the Group may choose to enter into
an appropriate hedging strategy, such as a forward contract or option, to minimise the Groups foreign
exchange exposure. The Group does not usually designate these derivatives as hedges under IAS39, or
apply hedge accounting; gains and losses on both the derivative and the hedged item will usually offset
naturally within the Income Statement. The Group entered into a derivative during the year in relation to
the Groups acquisition of Jupiter shares, see Note 5 Realised foreign exchange gain on Jupiter forward
contract and fair value loss on acquisition of Jupiter shares for more detail. The Group did not hold any
other similar derivatives during the year or at the year end.

Currency is the functional currency in which each class of nancial asset is denominated. The quantitative values disclosed above are in US$.

At 31 December 2010, the Group classied the investment in Platmin as a South African asset for its segmental reporting, to reect where the
majority of Platmins assets are located. However, Platmins primary listing was on the TSX, and therefore the Groups currency risk exposure
for IFRS7 was reported as CAD.
Foreign exchange sensitivity analysis
The Groups Investment Portfolio is denominated in various currencies, which uctuate against the US$.
If the US$ strengthens relative to the various currencies in which the Groups nancial assets are held,
the Groups assets denominated in currencies other than US$ would decline in the value and vice versa.
The principal non-functional currencies to which the Group is exposed to are the British pound sterling,
South African Rand, euro, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. Based on the Groups net
nancial assets and liabilities at 31 December 2011, a weakening of the US$ against the currencies
illustrated in the following table, with all other variables held constant, would have affected result after
tax, and equity as follows:

Movement of 1.9% in AUD/US$ 1,629,366 1,629,366
At 31 December 2010, a weakening of the US$ against the following currencies, with all other variables
held constant, would have affected result after tax, and equity as follows

Movement of 3% in AUD/US$ 6,793,084 6,793,084
The Groups analysis of nancial assets and liabilities has been restated, see above, which has had a
minor impact on the 2010 currency movement analysis presented above.
The Groups nancial asset and liability prole does not remain constant and, therefore, these sensitivities
should be used with care.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash ows of a nancial instrument will uctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash
balances and interest bearing loans made to companies within the Investment Portfolio.
The Groups policy is to invest cash at oating rates of interest and to maintain cash reserves in short-
term investments (less than one year) in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return
for shareholders. During the current and prior year, all uninvested cash was accessible either on demand,
or shortly afterwards.
The Group may make loans to companies within the Investment Portfolio, in either US$ or relevant local
currencies. These loans are usually based on the relevant national inter-bank rates and accordingly any
changes in these interest rates would have an impact on the Income Statement.
The Group may make non-interesting bearing loans to companies within the Investment Portfolio in
certain circumstances.
An analysis of the expected maturity of the Groups nancial assets at the balance sheet date is shown
below. Expected maturities are usually based on contractual maturities.

The nancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 presented a split of interest bearing and
non-interest bearing nancial assets, without disclosing the anticipated maturities of the assets. The
Directors believe that the above presentation enhances the previous disclosure.
Interest rate risk- sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for the
Groups nancial instruments at the balance sheet date. When the Directors consider interest rate risk
internally, a 0.5% increase or decrease is used for analysis. The Directors consider this to be a reasonably
possible change in interest rates in the current interest rate climate.
If interest rates had been 0.5% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Groups Loss
for the year ended 31 December 2011 would have decreased/increased by US$138,571 (2010 (restated):
Prot for the year would have increased/decreased by US$306,541).
None of the Groups nancial liabilities were interest bearing at the balance sheet date and no further
analysis is provided to the Directors.
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the price for listed investments uctuates with a corresponding impact on
the income statement. The Directors valuations for unlisted investments are also likely to increase or
decrease over time. These changes will be linked to the performance of the underlying investments.
The performance of the Groups investments could be affected by a number of factors, as articulated in
Principal Risks and Uncertainties.
The listed and unlisted investments in the balance sheet subject to price risk are set out in Note 11
Investments, with the relevant valuation methodologies used.
Price risk- sensitivity analysis
The fair value of each of the Groups listed and unlisted investments could vary signicantly from period
to period for many different reasons, as articulated in the Groups Principal Risks and Uncertainties.
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the Groups exposure to equity price risk
at the reporting date:
If the valuations of the of the Groups unlisted investments had been 25% lower, the impact on
the Groups Income Statement would have been US$47,614,141;
If the valuations of the of the Groups listed investments had been 25% lower, the impact on the
Groups Income Statement would have been US$31,297,898.
91
All movements in the fair values of nancial assets and liabilities affect prot or loss; no movements are
accounted for directly in reserves.
In prior reporting periods, the Group disclosed sensitivity analyses based on a potential 25% decrease
in the fair value of the Groups unlisted equity investments, but only a 10% decrease in the valuations of
the Groups listed investments. In the light of current uctuations in the valuations of many listed equity
investments, including those in which the Group has an interest, the Directors consider disclosure of a
25% decrease in the fair values of the Groups listed investments to be more relevant to shareholders.
Other price risk disclosures
The price risk sensitivity analysis above may not be fully representative of the risks the Group is subject
to, for reasons including those set out below:
The Groups unlisted investments are illiquid and there are no regular transactions in these
shares. As such the Group may nd it difcult to exit these assets at the current valuations as
stated in the balance sheet, and may be unable to sell partial stakes easily, as there may be a
shortage of willing buyers.
Similarly, although the markets for the Groups listed investments are more active, the shares
are not fully liquid. The Group owns signicant interests in some of its investments, plus other
Pallinghurst Co-Investors hold further signicant indirect interests. As such, if the Group
wished to fully divest of its interest in any specic investment, it may not be possible to realise
the current fair values as recognised in the balance sheet. Conversely, the amounts realised
on disposal may be higher than the current balance sheet valuation.
The Directors do not attempt to formally hedge the risk that a forced exit from an investment may result in
a lower realised valuation that the carrying amount. However, the Directors believe that each investment
continues to make signicant progress, and are comfortable that the current investment valuations give
a reasonable representation of fair value.
Commodity risk
As the Group has signicant investments in mining assets, changes in commodity prices are a key
risk to the business. However, the Group does not consolidate any mining assets or hold any physical
commodities on its balance sheet, so commodity price changes have no direct impact on the Financial
Statements. The impact of commodity prices is therefore omitted from this analysis (as there would be
no disclosable impact). Nonetheless, users of the Financial Statements should be aware that commodity
price movements, particularly of PGMs, manganese and iron ore, and coloured gemstone prices, are
likely to have an impact on the valuation of the Groups investments.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss due to a debtors non-payment or the failure of a counterparty with whom
cash balances are held. The Groups credit risk primarily arises on the trade and other receivables and
cash balances.
92
The trade and other receivables balance usually relates to balances receivable upon the exit from an
investment and as such is concentrated into a small number of counterparties. The Directors monitor
these counterparties closely and believe that the danger of default in these situations is low. If an exit
from an investment occurs the counterpartys creditworthiness is assessed before any commitment
to sell is made. The Group does not carry out trading activities other than entering into and exiting
from investments and there are no other material trade and other receivables. As such, the Groups
exposure to credit risk from this balance is not considered to be signicant. The Group currently holds
no provisions against bad or doubtful debtors.
Materially all of the Groups cash balances are held in US$, with Investec Bank (Channel Islands) Limited,
a subsidiary of Investec Bank plc (Investec). The bankruptcy or insolvency of Investec could have a
signicant adverse impact on the Group. The Groups subsidiaries and associates hold immaterial cash
balances with various other banks and institutions. The failure of one of these counterparties would be
unlikely to have a signicant impact on the Group.
Investecs credit rating has been BBB minus (with Fitch Ratings) since 30 November 2011, when it was
downgraded from BBB. The revised BBB minus rating remains investment grade and the Directors are
comfortable that Investec continues to have high levels of both capital and liquidity. Nonetheless, the Directors
may extend the Groups range of counterparties in the future to reduce the Groups credit/counterparty risk.
The Groups other loan receivable balances have been made to existing investments within the Investment
Portfolio, if, for example, short-term working capital requirements are funded through loans rather than
further equity investment.
The Groups sole loan at the balance sheet date is to Faberg Limited. Faberg Limited is an unlisted company,
and does not have a credit rating with external credit agencies. The Directors acknowledge that Faberg
Limited may request that the loan is converted into equity, rather than repaid; any such request would be
considered at the appropriate time. The Directors have access to Faberg Limiteds strategic planning and
details of its nancial position, and are fully aware of why it requires loan funding. As such, whilst the Directors
believe that there is some credit risk associated with the loan, this risk is considered to be acceptable.

Although the Groups credit risk on loans to the Investment Portfolio is considered to be low, clearly there
are risks associated with the Investment Portfolio. (See the Market risk- Price risk section above for more
detail on the price risks affecting the Investment Portfolio).

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difculty in meeting the obligations associated with
its nancial liabilities.
The Group does not hold any nancial liabilities at discounted values. As such, the expected undiscounted
cash ow of the Groups nancial liabilities at the balance sheet date is as follows:
2011
US$
2010
US$
(restated)
1
Financial liabilities expiring in one year or less 203,642 32,805,734
Total nancial liabilities 203,642 32,805,734
1
The prior year nancial liabilities liquidity risk disclosure included deferred tax liabilities as a nancial liability. This was inaccurate, as
deferred tax liabilities are not considered to be nancial liabilities (as they are statutory, not contractual, liabilities). Additionally, the
Performance Incentive accrual (the calculation of which is detailed in Note 7 Investment Managers benets) was erroneously included
as a nancial instrument expiring in over one year in the prior year. The 2010 balance has therefore been restated for these two points.
The Group did not hold any derivative liabilities at 31 December 2011.
The Group has not utilised any overdrafts since incorporation. The Group ensures that there are sufcient
levels of cash for any investment commitments and expenses as they fall due and does not anticipate
entering into signicant borrowing in the future.
Sensitivity analyses representative for the position throughout the year
The sensitivity analyses presented above are based on the nancial instruments held at the year end.
The sensitivity analyses presented for 31 December 2011 are considered likely to be representative of
the nancial instruments held and risks to the balance sheet in the immediate future.
The mix of nancial instruments is broadly similar at 31 December 2011 compared to 31 December
2010. Nonetheless, users of the Financial Statements should be aware that the Groups risk prole can
change over time; for example, if the Group completed a capital raising or divested of an investment, the
importance of interest rate risk and counterparty/credit risk would increase.
As there is uncertainty as to how the Groups risk prole will change in the future, no further more
representative sensitivity disclosure has been disclosed as the Directors do not believe that it would be
useful to users of the Financial Statements.
Fair value analysis
The Groups only nancial instruments that are measured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition
are the equity investments within the Investment Portfolio and previously the Platmin Note. The following
table provides an analysis of these nancial instruments, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree
to which fair value is observable:
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices
included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices)
or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
94
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs
for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

On 23 December 2011, Platmin delisted from the JSE. Further detail on the delisting and on the revised valuation methodology being
used are included in Note 11 Investments. The investment in Platmin has been reclassied from listed to unlisted investments in the
balance sheet at 31 December 2011, and for the purposes of IFRS7, has been reclassied from Level 1 to Level 3.

In the prior year, the Financial assets at FVTPL balance erroneously included certain US$31,864,724 of loans and receivables. Loans and
receivables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost, and should not be presented as an asset
at FVTPL. The prior year balance of US$480,397,450 has been restated to US$448,532,726 above. To further enhance the disclosure,
the different categories of investment designated at FVTPL have been presented separately.
2
Equity investments of US$137,000,863 have been restated and included as Level 3 rather than Level 2 in 2010. The equity investments
balance includes investments in Faberg Limited, Moepi and Magazynskraal. These were initially categorised as Level 2 investments at
31 December 2009, however, these investments should have been classied as Level 3. The underlying valuation methodologies for
these investments have not changed, and there have been no relevant amendments to IFRS7. The investment valuations and impairment
reviews for these assets are indirectly based on market inputs, such as PGM prices. However, there is no direct link between this input
and the valuation of the investment in the balance sheet. The Directors have therefore agreed that a Level 3 categorisation is more
prudent and better represents the nature of these unlisted investments.
IFRS7 requires reconciliation for Level 3 nancial assets from the beginning to the end of the period.

disclosed in Note 11 Investments.
20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Groups subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are related parties.
The Group owns signicant stakes in most of the investments within the Investment Portfolio. The Group
accounts for all its investments at fair value through the prot and loss account, even in situations where
the Group has signicant inuence over or joint control of the asset. See Note 3 Accounting policies for
more detail.
Despite these accounting treatments, per IAS24, all the Groups investments are considered to be related
parties, and transactions with them are related party transactions. Related party transactions include the
entering into and exiting from equity investments, and loan transactions, all of which are detailed in Note
11 Investments.
The Investment Manager, Administrator are all related parties of the Group due to common directors.
The amounts due for the Investment Managers Benet and the Performance Incentive are disclosed
in Note 7 Investment Managers benets. The Administrator is entitled to annual minimum fees totalling
US$80,000, payable quarterly in arrears.
Mr Platt-Ransom and Ms White are Legis directors. Mr Tolcher was a Legis director until 30 September
2011. The Groups relationship with Legis is at arms length. The total fees paid to Legis during the year
ended 31 December 2011 amounted to US$106,216 (31 December 2010: US$101,865).
Transactions entered into with related parties were under terms no more favourable than those with
thirdparties.
Directors fees
The Non-Executive Directors, Mr Platt-Ransom, Mr Harris and Mr Tolcher, each received a Directors
fee of US$25,000 for 2011 (2010: US$25,000 per Non-Executive Director). Mr Harris also receives
96
US$5,000 as a Director of Pallinghurst Consolidated (Cayman) Limited, a subsidiary. The amount
included in the Income Statement for Directors fees for the year ended 31 December 2011 is US$80,000
(2010:US$77,500).
On 29 February 2012, Ms White was appointed as a Non-Executive Director and will also receive a
Directors fee of US$25,000 per annum. Ms White did not receive a fee for her role as a Permanent
Alternate. Mr OMahoney was appointed as a Permanent Alternate to Mr Platt-Ransom and Ms White on
29 February 2012. Mr OMahoney does not receive a fee for his role as a Permanent Alternate.
The Executive Directors have waived the receipt of any Directors fees from the Company, as noted in
the Remuneration Committee Report.
Additionally, certain Directors fees are paid from Jupiter and Platmin to Group subsidiaries or associates.
Mr Gilbertson and Mr Frandsen do not receive these Directors fees in a personal capacity. The fees
are instead paid into the relevant Group entities that directly hold the relevant interests. The following
amounts were received during the year:

The interests disclosed above have not changed between 31 December 2011 and the date of this
AnnualReport.

HEPS (0.15) 0.24
There are no reconciling items between HEPS and earnings per share. There was no change in the
number of shares during the current or prior year, therefore earnings per share is equal to diluted earnings
per share.

22. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS
On 31 August 2011, the Company agreed to act as a limited guarantor for the lease of Faberg Limiteds
New York retail outlet at 694 Madison Avenue. The limited guarantee extends to the Company being
liable for the payment of rent for the outlet if the landlord takes legal action to evict Faberg Limited for
non-payment of rent or other charges, and only to the extent of the rent and charges from the date that
legal action commences to the date that Faberg Limited moves out of the premises.
The Directors believe that there is a very low likelihood that this guarantee will be called upon. Their
assessment of the maximum amount of the Groups contingent liability is US$219,000. There is a degree
of uncertainty over this amount regarding the length of time Faberg Limited might take to vacate the
premises in the event of legal action on the part of the landlord and, therefore, how much rent might
become due. However, the Directors believe that it is highly unlikely that the Group will become liable
for any amounts under this guarantee. The Group has not become liable for any amounts under this
guarantee to date.
The Group had no other signicant contingent liabilities or contingent assets at 31 December 2011, nor
any signicant contingent liabilities or contingent assets at 31 December 2010.
98
23. COMMITMENTS
Commitment to invest in Sedibelo
The Group has a commitment to take up its share of the investment in Sedibelo. Sedibelo is located on
the Western Limb of the Bushveld Complex and is contiguous to both PPM and Magazynskraal. The
Bakgatla now holds 100% of Sedibelo, having acquired the nal 10% interest in the rst half of 2011,
which was previously held by Barrick Platinum South Africa (Pty) Limited. During March 2011, a suite
of transactions was announced that provides the platform for the consolidation of PPM, Sedibelo and
Magazynskraal. In particular, the Pallinghurst Co-Investors will acquire a 49.9% stake in Sedibelo, and
interests in certain other assets.
Funds were contributed to Ivy Lane, one of the Groups associates, during the year, for the satisfaction
of these commitments. It is anticipated that the cash outows will be material to the Group. Completion
of the suite of transactions is subject to various conditions.
Faberg Limited loan commitment US$25 million
The Group committed to loan Faberg Limited up to US$25 million on 24 May 2010. This was
subsequently amended on 27 July 2011 and the commitment can now be drawn upon by Faberg
Limited between 1 October 2010 and 31 July 2012. Faberg Limited had drawn down US$21,500,000
by 31 December 2011.A further US$3,000,000 has been drawn down since 31 December 2011 as
described in Note 24 Events occurring after the end of the year. The Groups outstanding commitment,
which excludes the US$375,000 structuring fee, is US$125,000. The terms of the loan agreement are
that the amount drawn down is due for repayment by 31 August2012.
No further commitments have been entered into at the date of signature of these Financial Statements.
24. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE END OF THE YEAR
African Queen Consolidation and IDC investment
As described in Note 23 Commitments, a series of transactions was announced during March 2011 that
provides the platform for the Consolidation (of PPM, Sedibelo and Magazynskraal).
During March 2012, the IDC has agreed to invest, upon the Consolidation, ZAR3.24 billion, in return for
16.2% of the consolidated entity. The IDC investment is expected to complete during 2012.
The Directors believe that the completion of the IDCs investment into the consolidated entity may
have a positive effect on the Groups NAV, which it is not yet possible to quantify. Completion of the
Consolidation and the IDC investment are subject to various conditions including approvals from the
South African Reserve Bank.
Further US$3 million drawdown of Faberg Limited loan
The Group has provided a commitment to loan Faberg Limited up to US$25 million, which can be
drawn down at any point up until 31 July 2012. The amount drawn down at 31 December 2011 was
US$21.5 million.
99
Faberg Limited has drawn down a further US$3 million subsequent to the year end; the outstanding
balance has therefore increased to US$24.5 million (excluding interest and structuring fee).
Fall in Jupiter share price
The Jupiter share price has fallen since 31 December 2011. The estimated impact of this non-adjusting
event is as follows:
The Jupiter share price on 26 March 2012 was AUD0.2350 and the exchange rate was US$1:AUD0.9558.
The fair value of the Groups investment was US$74,008,079, US$11,747,699 lower than the valuation of
US$85,755,778 included in the Balance Sheet.
Increase in Gemelds share price
The Gemelds share price has increased since 31 December 2011. The estimated impact of this non-
adjusting event is as follows:
The Gemelds share price on 26 March 2012 was GBP0.3875 and the exchange rate was US$1:GBP0.6303.
The fair value of the Groups investment was US$66,046,562, US$26,610,749 higher than the valuation
of US$39,435,813 included in the Balance Sheet.
Approval of Annual Report
The Annual Report was approved by the Directors and authorised for issue on 29 March 2012.

Dear Sirs
Independent Reporting Accountants limited assurance report on the unaudited pro forma nancial

Introduction
We have performed our limited assurance engagement with regard to the unaudited pro forma
nancial effects on the income statement and balance sheet (collectively the Pro Forma Financial
Information) of Pallinghurst Resources Limited (Pallinghurst) set out in paragraph 8 on page 42
and Annexure II of the Circular to be dated on or about 5 June 2012 issued in connection with the
renounceable rights offer (Circular).
The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared for purposes of complying with the requirements
of the JSE Limited (JSE), for illustrative purposes only, to provide information about how the rights
offer (Rights Offer) might have affected the reported nancial information had the transaction been
undertaken on 31 December 2011 for balance sheet purposes, and on 1 January 2011 for income
statement purposes.
Because of its nature, the Pro Forma Financial Information may not present a fair reection of the nancial
position, changes in equity, results of operations or cash ows of Pallinghurst, after the Rights Offer.
Directors responsibility
The Directors of Pallinghurst (Directors) are solely responsible for the compilation, contents and presentation
of the Pro Forma Financial Information contained in the Circular and for the nancial information from which
it has been prepared.
Their responsibility includes determining that the Pro Forma Financial Information contained in the Circular
has been properly compiled on the basis stated, the basis is consistent with the accounting policies of
104
Pallinghurst and the pro forma adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the Pro Forma Financial
Information as disclosed in terms of the listings requirements of the JSE (the Listings Requirements).
Reporting accountants responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Pro Forma Financial Information
included in the Circular. We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with the International
Standard on Assurance Engagements applicable to Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews
of Historical Financial information and the Guide on Pro Forma Financial Information issued by the South
African Institute of Chartered Accountants.
This standard requires us to comply with ethical requirements and to plan and perform the assurance
engagement to obtain sufcient appropriate audit evidence to support our limited assurance conclusion,
expressed below.
We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any nancial information used
in the compilation of the Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports
were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.
Sources of information and work performed
Our procedures consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted audited historical nancial information of
Pallinghurst with the source documents, considering the pro forma adjustments in light of the accounting
policies of Pallinghurst, considering the evidence supporting the pro forma adjustments, recalculating the
amounts based on the information obtained and discussing the Pro Forma Financial Information with the
directors of Pallinghurst.
In arriving at our conclusion, we have relied upon nancial information prepared by the Directors and other
information from various public, nancial and industry sources.
Whilst our work performed involved an analysis of the historical audited nancial information and other
information provided to us, our limited assurance engagement does not constitute either an audit or review
of any of the underlying nancial information undertaken in accordance with the International Standards on
Auditing or the International Standards on Review Engagements and accordingly, we do not express an audit
or review opinion.
In a limited assurance engagement the evidence-gathering procedures are more limited than for a reasonable
assurance engagement and therefore less assurance are obtained than in a reasonable assurance
engagement. We believe that our evidence obtained is sufcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
conclusion.
Opinion
Based on our examination of the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that in terms of Section 8.17 and 8.30 of the Listings Requirements:
the pro forma nancial information has not been properly compiled on the basis stated,
such basis is inconsistent with the accounting policies of Pallinghurst and,
105
the adjustments are not appropriate for the purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed
pursuant to section 8.30 of the Listings Requirements.
Consent
We consent to the inclusion of this letter and the reference to our opinion in the Circular to be issued by
Pallinghurst in the form and context in which it appears.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Introduction
The details of the Rights Offer are set out in the Circular. The purpose of the Revised Listing
Particulars is to inform Shareholders of the effects of the Rights Offer in terms of the Listings
Requirements and accordingly have been prepared on the assumption that the Rights Offer has
been successfully implemented.
1.2. Incorporation and history of the Company
The Company was incorporated on 4 September 2007 as Pallinghurst Resources (Guernsey)
Limited (registration number 47656), in accordance with Guernsey Law. The Company listed on the
BSX soon afterwards on 26 September 2007. On 20 August 2008, Pallinghurst inward listed on the
JSE, with the JSE becoming the Companys primary listing and the BSX listing being retained as a
secondary listing. On 28 May 2009, the Company changed its name from Pallinghurst Resources
(Guernsey) Limited to Pallinghurst Resources Limited. The Company was registered as an external
company in South Africa (registration number2009/012636/10) on 26 June 2009. The Company
has an authorised share capital of 999,000,000 Shares of US$0.00001 each and ten Management
Shares of US$1.00 each. In September 2009, the Company raised an additional ZAR800 million
by way of a renounceable rights offer. The Company operates under Guernsey Law as its principal
legislation. Pallinghursts registered ofce is currently located at 11 New Street, St Peter Port,
Guernsey, GY1 2PF.
The Companyis anauthorisedclosed-endedinvestmentcompany.As an existing closed-ended
investment company, the Company is deemed to have been granted an authorisation declaration
by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission in accordance withSection 8 of the Protection of
Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 1987, as amended andRule 6.02 of the Authorised Closed-
ended Investment Schemes Rules 2008 on the date when the Company obtained consent under
the Control of Borrowing (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Ordinance 1959 to 1989.As an authorised closed-
endedinvestmentcompany, the Company is subject to continuing supervision by the Guernsey
Financial Services Commission.
1.3. Nature of business
The Companys main objective is to carry on the business of an investment holding company in
Investments falling within the Investment Scope. To achieve the Investment Objectives as set out
in paragraph 2.1 of the Revised Listing Particulars, the Company has appointed the Investment
Manager to act in the capacity as investment manager to the Company on the terms set out in the
Investment Management Agreement. The Investment Manager is a specialist natural resources
entity that seeks to develop strategic partnerships for the Company with companies and/or other
entities in order to create and unlock value for Shareholders.
112
2. INVESTMENT STRATEGY
2.1. Investment objectives
On the advice of the Investment Manager, the Group, either alone or with certain Pallinghurst Co-
Investors, on a case-by-case basis, utilises its nancial ability, unique expertise and execution skill
in the resources sector to participate in investments falling within the Investment Scope with the
principal objective of providing Shareholders with a high overall rate of return.
2.2. Investment scope
The Group monitors opportunities across the commodities spectrum, with a primary focus
on underperforming assets, businesses that lack direction, are poorly managed, stranded or
distressed. The Investment Manager, on behalf of the Group, seeks to develop strategic platforms
in pursuit of consolidation, vertical integration, turn-around opportunities and expansion projects.
The Group targets investments in businesses that hold mines, smelters, reneries and processing
plants. The preference is for Brownelds Opportunities, although investments in businesses with
attractive development opportunities are also considered.
2.3. Investment policy
The Group invests in Investments falling within the Investment Scope and in the Approved
Investment. An overview of existing investments has been provided in paragraph 4 to the Revised
Listing Particulars. The Group endeavours to hold, whether directly or indirectly, through one or
more special purpose vehicles to ensure the most efcient corporate structure, an initial minimum
20% interest in each Investment Vehicle, subject to the following limitations:
(a) the aggregate investment by the Company in any Investment Vehicle may not exceed the greater
of 30% of the Companys Funds or US$100 million, unless approved by Shareholders by Ordinary
Resolution. Aggregate investments shall for this purpose include any guarantees and undertakings
provided by the Company with respect to an Investment Vehicle but shall exclude any Temporary
Investments; and
(b) Temporary Investments may, when added to the Companys other Investments in an Investment
Vehicle, not exceed the greater of 40% of the Companys Funds or US$150 million. The
Investment Manager will use reasonable endeavours to reduce the aggregate amount invested
in a single Investment Vehicle to the greater of 30% of the Companys Funds or US$100 million
within the 12-month period following the date on which such Investment is concluded, unless
such excess Investment is approved by Shareholders by Ordinary Resolution.
Whilst the Group has the ability to gear its balance sheet, it is intended that each Investment be
ring-fenced and that the funding thereof, if any, will be based on the strength of such Investments
balance sheet and/or cash ow potential on a stand-alone basis, thereby increasing the insolvency
remoteness of each Investment.
2.4. Investment process
The Company has appointed the Investment Manager, under the terms of the Investment Management
Agreement, to provide it with investment advisory and management services in relation to
Investments.
113
The Investment Manager is responsible for identifying potential Investments, making Investment
recommendations and providing advice to the Board regarding Investments or the Realisation or
renancing thereof.
The Board considers the advice and recommendations of the Investment Manager and any other advice
received from additional third party external experts and service providers, to the extent required,
prior to making an Investment or Realisation decision. Once the Directors resolve that the Company
should participate in an Investment or the Realisation or renancing thereof, the Investment Manager
is responsible for negotiating, implementing and executing the transaction within the parameters set
by the Board.
In terms of the Programme, all potential Investments falling within the Investment Scope are offered
to the Company for investment at a price equal to the cost at which such Investments have been
negotiated and concluded.
To the extent the Company wishes to amend its Investment Scope and its Investment Objectives (as
set out in paragraph 2.1 of the Revised Listing Particulars) and/or approve a potential Investment
falling outside the Investment Scope, it will seek prior Shareholder approval by means of an Ordinary
Resolution.
2.5. The Groups relationship with the Pallinghurst Co-Investors
The Group has an afliation with a number of other investors (known collectively as the Pallinghurst
Co-Investors, which also are described as strategic equity partners). Pallinghurst (Cayman) GP
L.P. acts as the investment manager for both the Group and these other investors. The Group
usually makes investments alongside the other Pallinghurst Co-Investors, although it may also
actalone.
The Pallinghurst Co-Investors collectively have the ability to control all of the investments in
the Groups portfolio of investments (the Investment Portfolio); they cooperate to achieve the
strategic objectives recommended by Pallinghurst (Cayman) GP L.P. This enables the Group to
take an active part in the management and strategic direction at each investment; which would not
usually be the case for a company holding interests of less than 50% in each of its investments.
The Pallinghurst Co-Investors typically share the same commercial and strategic objectives and
cooperate effectively although each Pallinghurst Co-Investor retains legal title and inuence over
their individual shareholdings, and is ultimately able to determine its own course of action. The
Group benets from being a Pallinghurst Co-Investor in many ways, including the following:
2.5.1. The Investment Manager is able to access much higher levels of funding than if they were
acting solely on behalf of the Group, meaning that a broader scope of investments can be
contemplated;
2.5.2. This funding scope can make an approach by the Pallinghurst Co-Investors more attractive
or credible to a potential target company or group than a stand-alone approach by the
Group;
2.5.3. The Pallinghurst Co-Investors are able to exercise a greater level of inuence or control over
each investment than if they were acting alone; and
114
2.5.4. The Group is able to diversify by participating in a larger number of investments, as it
usually only partially funds each investment.
The Group also has entitlement to an initial minimum interest of 20% of the collective Pallinghurst
Co-Investor ownership of each investment on acquisition, subject to certain conditions; the other
Pallinghurst Co-Investors have no such similar entitlements.
2.6. Private equity status
The Company is considered by the Directors to be a venture capital/private equity
1
organisation.
The Directors have considered the following key factors in making this determination:
2.6.1. The interests acquired are usually signicant, although not controlling.
2.6.2. The Executive Directors and/or the Investment Manager usually participate in the
management of each investment.
2.6.3. The investments are generally innovative in nature.
2.6.4. The investments typically have dened exit strategies.
As a result of being a venture capital organisation, the Company is able to make certain accounting
policy choices under IFRS. The most signicant of these is the election to account for associate
entities under IAS39, as a nancial instrument at fair value through the income statement, rather
than equity accounting under IAS28. A similar exemption exists in IAS31, and the Company
chooses to use this exemption in the same way.
1
The Directors use the terms private equity and venture capital interchangeably throughout this document. The Directors
acknowledge that the terms may have different nuances to certain shareholders, but these distinctions are not relevant to the
Group.
2.7. Shares owned by Partners of the Investment Manager
The Partners of the Investment Manager acquired approximately 11 million Shares on the Initial
Closing Date (assuming that the 1000-for-1 Share split had already occurred). The Partners of
the Investment Manager also acquired approximately 11 million Shares as part of the Second
Equity Raising, concluded in September 2009. The Partners of the Investment Manager have
undertaken not to cede, pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of these Shares during the
InvestmentTerm.
The Partners of the Investment Manager will collectively invest a further c.US$5 million under the
Rights Offer. The shareholdings of the Partners of the Investment Manager at the Last Practicable
Date, pre and post the impact of the Rights Offer, are set out in paragraph 10 to the Circular.
These shareholdings, and the participation of the Partners of the Investment Manager in the
Rights Offer, will continue to ensure that the interests of Shareholders are aligned with those of the
InvestmentManager.
115
2.8. Currency
The functional currency of the Company is US$. All commitments by, and Distributions to, Shareholders
and all calculations pursuant to the terms of the Revised Listing Particulars are in US$.
2.9. Future prospects
Signicant progress has been made in each of the Companys investments. These investments
continue to promise signicant value uplift through organic growth, synergistic acquisitions and/
or vertical integration opportunities. The Group may also exit some of the investments in the right
circumstances.
The application of the Rights Offer proceeds will further benet the growth and development of
the existing platforms and accelerate the implementation of their investment strategies as set out
in paragraph 4 of the Revised Listing Particulars.
The Group has also targeted new opportunities for using the Rights Offer proceeds. The Directors
believe that these complementary assets represent good investments for shareholders.

4. OVERVIEW OF INVESTMENTS
In the period since incorporation, the Group has developed four unique Investment Platforms as set out
below.
4.1. PGMs
PGMs are essential to a wide range of industries. An estimated 20% of all consumer products
either contain PGMs or require them in their production, making PGMs both unique and essential
to industrialised economies. However, PGM resources are rare and occur predominantly in South
Africa; according to the DMR, 88% of the worlds platinum reserves are located in South Africa.
The diverse and solid demand dynamics, combined with on-going supply pressures and high
barriers to entry, continue to make the outlook for the PGM industry very attractive.
For the past four years, Pallinghurst has been executing its strategy of acquiring and consolidating
three shallow, contiguous properties on the Western Limb of the Bushveld Complex of South Africa,
to create a low cost PGM producer of industry signicance with a large and shallow resource base.
During March 2011, a suite of transactions was announced that provides the platform for the
consolidation of PPM, Sedibelo and Magazynskraal (the Consolidation) allowing the resource
to be optimally mined. The Pallinghurst Co-Investors would acquire a 49.9% stake in Sedibelo
from the Bakgatla and agreed to increase their aggregate interest in Magazynskraal to 40% (an
additional 6.6%) as well as strategic water and electricity rights necessary for the operation of the
Consolidation properties.
Completion of the suite of transactions was subject to various conditions, including approval for
the acquisition by the DMR. The suite of transactions was completed in May 2012 subsequent to
this receipt. In addition, Platmin has received the DMR approvals necessary for the completion of
122
its acquisition of the Western area of the Sedibelo property (Sedibelo West) for US$75 million.
During March 2012, the IDC agreed to invest, upon the consolidation of the PGM Properties,
ZAR3.24 billion, in return for 16.2% of the consolidated entity. The IDC investment is expected
to be completed during 2012. The Directors believe that the completion of the IDCs investment
into the consolidated entity may have a positive effect on the Companys NAV, which it is not
yet possible to quantify. Completion of the Consolidation and the IDC investment are subject to
various conditions.
These transactions represent an important development in the PGM strategy. The Consolidation
of the three PGM properties is now almost complete, and the investment by the IDC is imminent.
Subsequent to this, the AQ strategy will be close to completion and no further funds have been
allocated to the AQ Investment Platform.
4.2. Steel Making Materials
Despite the turbulence experienced in the economies of many developed nations, emerging
countries such as China have sustained average GDP growth rates in excess of 10% per annum over
the past decade. Maintaining high growth rates will require signicant expansion of infrastructure,
for which large supplies of steel are imperative. Global steel production has increased to meet
this rising demand, from 850 million tonnes in 2001 to 1.5 billion tonnes during 2011. Increased
demand for steel resulting from continued growth in the emerging markets, and sustained demand
from the mature economies, is forecast to support demand for steelmaking input raw materials.
The Companys Steel Making Materials platform has also been in a capital intensive phase,
building the Tshipi Borwa manganese mine and this is expected to continue as Jupiter progresses
its feasibility studies on Mount Mason and Mount Ida. The Steel Making Materials strategy is to
develop a platform to supply the key raw materials required for the production of steel, in particular
manganese, iron ore and coking coal.
In 2010, Jupiter acquired the Pallinghurst Co-Investors 49.9% stake in Tshipi, thereby consolidating
the Groups two Steel Making Materials investments.
During 2011, Jupiter successfully raised AUD150 million and approved its portion of the funding
required to build South Africas newest open pit manganese mine at Tshipi Borwa. With construction
well underway, Tshipi Borwa is on track to commence production by the end of 2012, with a
sizeable resource capable of sustaining more than 60 years of production.
The Investment Manager is investigating the acquisition of a coal asset which would be the last
remaining commodity to ll the suite of Steel Making Materials commodities. The Group is likely
to use US$25-US$35 million of the Rights Issue proceeds to funds its pro rata entitlement to
thisacquisition.
4.3. Gemelds
During 2007, Pallinghurst identied the coloured gemstone industry as a unique investment
opportunity. Demand for coloured gemstones by the jewellery and fashion sectors was increasing
despite a lack of large, reliable suppliers able to consistently deliver adequate quantities of
gemstones. Pallinghurst perceived an opportunity to unlock signicant value in an overlooked,
123
underdeveloped and fragmented sector. It believed that demand could be enhanced and
protability improved by bringing substantial capital, scale and professionalism to the industry.
In 2007, the Pallinghurst Co-Investors acquired a controlling interest in the Kagem emerald mine
and in June 2008, Kagem was vended into AIM-listed Gemelds plc via a reverse takeover in
return for approximately 55% of the enlarged group. Various corporate actions followed, resulting
in the Pallinghurst Co-Investors ownership of Gemelds increasing to 63.3%, which includes the
Groups 33.1% stake.
Since acquisition, signicant focus has been on operational efciency, in particular on improving
Kagems infrastructure. New mining equipment has been purchased and the processing plant
upgraded. Additional personnel hires and implementation of better management systems,
including monitoring and control procedures, have signicantly improved security around the mine
site and the washing plant. These measures have considerably increased mining capabilities,
resulting in signicantly higher gemstone production than that achieved historically.
In March 2012, following the year end, Gemelds held a further higher quality emerald auction in
Singapore. A total of 0.69 million carats were sold for US$26.2 million, representing an average
price of US$38.25 per carat. Gemelds has now completed nine auctions over the past three years,
generating total revenues of US$125 million, a signicant endorsement of Gemelds formalised
and consistent method of selling coloured gemstones by auction.
In line with its objective to become the worlds leading coloured gemstone producer, Gemelds
announced in June 2011 the acquisition of 75% of a potentially world class ruby deposit in the
Montepuez district of the Cabo Delgado province in northern Mozambique. The deposit comprises
mining and exploration rights covering approximately 34,000 hectares and is believed to be one of
the largest ruby concessions in private hands in the world. While the quality of the rubies has been
likened to that produced in Burma and at Winza in Tanzania, mining has previously taken place
only on a relatively small and informal scale. Following the satisfaction of all outstanding conditions
for the acquisition in February 2012, the operations are now being expanded considerably, with
the rst production expected before the end of 2012.
The record breaking auctions highlight the robust demand for Gemelds ethically sourced
emeralds, despite the uncertain global economic environment. Prices are expected to remain
strong and will benet from any improvement in the global economic outlook. Increased production
is expected as the benets of the capital investment to increase the mineable Reaction Zone areas
are realised at Kagem and the rst rubies are realised from the new operation in Mozambique.
Gemelds is now a market leader in the emerald sector and is well advanced in its strategy to
become the worlds leading coloured gemstone producer. It is about to apply its successful
business model to rubies, having recently acquired the world class deposit in Mozambique.
Gemelds delivered record breaking auction results during 2011, and audited net prot after tax
for the six months to 31 December 2011 was US$22 million, higher than the record prots of the
prior full year. Gemelds is unlikely to require any further capital expenditure and has not been
allocated any funds in the Rights Offer. It is possible that Gemelds may begin to return funds to
its shareholders, including the Group, in the next few years.
124
4.4. Faberg Limited
Faberg has made signicant progress since the Company made its rst investment in 2007.
Despite the short period since Fabergs relaunch in September 2009, it has already achieved
a number of key milestones. Faberg continued its introduction of high quality collections with
a number of critically acclaimed launches during 2011, with more planned for the second half of
2012. Fabergs retail presence has expanded to include Geneva, London, New York and Hong
Kong. Faberg has been successfully repositioned in the upper echelon of the luxury sector and
now has an expanded product offering and retail footprint.
Faberg is seeking a further capital injection which will enable further development of its value-
creating strategy. The Directors have allocated US$25-30 million to participate in Fabergs capital
raising, which may take the form of debt or equity, to protect its investment and support the next
phase of development of its strategic plan.
4.5. Copper
The Investment Manager has also identied a new copper investment opportunity in southern
Africa, with both producing assets and others close to production. The total investment by the
Pallinghurst Co-Investors would be signicant; the Groups share in the cost of the investment
acquisition is likely to be between US$40-US$50 million.
5. ADMINISTRATION
5.1. Administrator
The Administrator has been appointed by the Directors to manage the day-to-day operations and
administration of the Company and to perform general administrative tasks, including but not limited
to dealing with all correspondence from regulatory bodies, exchanges, Shareholders and service
providers, processing Share subscriptions, redemptions and withdrawals, disbursing payments,
maintaining the Companys accounting records, liaising with the Investment Manager, liaising with
the Auditors and the Independent Valuer, acting as Company secretary and attending to any other
matters incidental thereto and usually performed in the administration of a company.
5.2. Valuation of Investments
Every six months, the Directors estimate the fair value of each investment in accordance with the
Valuation Guidelines for inclusion in the Groups external nancial reporting.
The Company has, in addition, engaged an Independent Valuer who provides an opinion
each reporting period that the Directors investment valuations have been prepared using a
methodology and approach which is reasonable and consistent with the concept of fair value, and
is in accordance with the Valuation Guidelines.
The Directors valuations are incorporated into the Companys interim and annual reports which
are communicated to Shareholders via SENS.
125
6. SALE ARRANGEMENTS AND REDEMPTIONS
6.1. Sale arrangements and redemptions
6.1.1. Sale arrangements
Notwithstanding the fact that the Companys Shares are listed on the BSX and the JSE,
pursuant to the Investment Scope and Investment Objectives (as set out in paragraph 2.1
of the Revised Listing Particulars) of the Company and the potential long-term nature of the
Investments, the secondary market for Shares may be limited and relatively illiquid over the
Investment Term. To facilitate increased liquidity and tradability in the Shares, the following
mechanisms are available to Shareholders:
6.1.2. Sale on the BSX
(a) Willing buyer, willing seller transactions:
Various brokers are able to provide broking, execution and clearing services for secondary
market trades between Shareholders and prospective Shareholders on the BSX.
Secondary market trades are effected through a matched sale transaction on condition
that there is a willing buyer and willing seller who have indicated the price at which they are
willing to acquire and dispose of Shares.
All Shareholders are advised to review the pricing of the Shares on the JSE prior to
executing a trade on either the JSE or BSX.
(b) Purchases by the Trust:
The Trust is notied when a willing seller of Shares is available. The Trust may be willing,
but is not obliged, to acquire Shares during the Investment Term. The Company pays
all costs associated with the Trust. Prior to the Redemption Date, no sale to the Trust
of less than 10,000 Shares per transaction (post the 1,000-for-1 share split) or any
disposal as a result of which a Shareholder will hold less than 10,000 Shares in the
Company will be allowed, except where a Shareholder disposes of all his Shares.
6.1.3. Sale on the JSE
(a) Willing buyer, willing seller transactions:
The JSE will facilitate secondary market trades between Shareholders and prospective
Shareholders during the Investment Term. Secondary market trades will be effected
through a matched sale transaction on the condition that there is a willing buyer
and willing seller who have indicated the price at which they are willing to acquire
and dispose of Shares. This process will be facilitated by the relevant Shareholders
appointed broker.
6.1.4. Pricing
All Shareholders are advised to review the pricing of the shares on the JSE prior to executing
a trade on either the JSE or BSX.
126
6.1.5. Transfer between Registers
Shares are fully fungible and may be transferred between Registers, subject to the requisite
Exchange Control Regulations.
6.2. Redemptions
6.2.1. Redemption prior to the Redemption Date
Prior to the Redemption Date there is no entitlement in favour of Shareholders to have their
Shares redeemed by the Company, but the Company shall be entitled to redeem Shares at
its election at any time prior to the Redemption Date, as set out below. Redemptions are
wholly at the discretion of the Directors and will comply with and be subject to the Listings
Requirements. However, subject to their overall discretion, the Directors have determined
to operate the following policy in respect of redemptions prior to the Redemption Date,
namely that redemptions prior to the Redemption Date will be considered by the Directorsif:
(a) redemptions are effected pro rata to all Shareholders, for part of their Shares, at the Fair
Value per Share less all costs associated with and incidental to the redemption; and
(b) there is sufcient cash or gearing available to fund such redemptions; and
(c) the number of Shares to be redeemed shall be proportionate to the value that the
Realisation proceeds received by the Company (less any Disposal Costs and
Performance Incentive, if applicable) represents to the NAV of the Company as a whole
prior to such redemption.
The costs associated with and incidental to the redemption will be estimated by an independent
auditor or will be based on the actual costs billed to ensure that there is no surplus remaining
in the Company after the redemption.
For the avoidance of doubt, the nal redemption of unredeemed Shares will not take place
until all Investments of the Company have been liquidated into cash and/or Distributed and
all remaining Aggregate Proceeds have been Distributed to Shareholders.
In addition, no redemption prior to the Redemption Date will be considered by the Directors,
where:
(d) such redemption would or might leave the Company with insufcient funds to meet any
future contemplated obligations or contingencies; or
(e) such redemption would render the Company insolvent; or
(f) such redemption may in the opinion of the Directors be prejudicial to the Company or
other Shareholders.
Redemption proceeds are paid to Shareholders in accordance with the Listings
Requirements and the rules of the BSX.
127
6.2.2. Redemption on the Redemption Date
On or prior to the tenth anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, the Directors shall convene
an extraordinary general meeting at which time an Ordinary Resolution will be proposed
to either (i) if recommended by the Board, extend the Termination Date by one year or (ii)
voluntarily wind up the Company and redeem all the Shares on the Redemption Date, at
the Fair Value per Share less any costs associated with the liquidation, if any.
(a) If on, or prior to, the tenth anniversary of the Initial Closing Date an Ordinary Resolution
in terms of (a)(i) above was proposed and approved, then on, or prior to, the eleventh
anniversary of the Initial Closing Date the Directors shall convene an extraordinary
general meeting and propose an Ordinary Resolution on terms similar to (a)(i) and (a)
(ii) above but references to the tenth anniversary of the Initial Closing Date shall be
replaced by reference to the eleventh anniversary of the Initial Closing Date.
(b) If on, or prior to, the eleventh anniversary of the Initial Closing Date an Ordinary Resolution
in terms of (a)(i) above was proposed and approved, then on, or prior to, the twelfth
anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, the Directors shall convene an extraordinary
general meeting at which time an Ordinary Resolution will be proposed to voluntarily
wind up the Company, except if a Special Resolution (that will be proposed at the same
meeting) to extend the life of the Company indenitely is proposed and approved.
In the event that either the Ordinary Resolution or the Special Resolution referred to in
paragraph (a) or (b) or (c) above are not approved by the requisite majority of Shareholders,
the Directors shall apply to the Royal Court of Guernsey for an order to place the Company
into compulsory liquidation and that a liquidator be appointed. A liquidator appointed in
these circumstances would wind-up and liquidate the affairs of the Company.
In the event of a Special Resolution to extend the life of the Company indenitely being
proposed and approved by the Shareholders in an extraordinary general meeting, the
Directors will endeavour, as soon as practicable thereafter, to provide an exit mechanism
for those Shareholders wishing to dispose of their Shares at that date, in terms of which
Shareholders will be provided with an opportunity to dispose of Shares to the Company,
the Trust, existing Shareholders or prospective Shareholders at the Fair Value per Share (or
such other price as may be agreed between the relevant parties).
The Company will redeem all of the Shares on the Redemption Date. Should all the
Investments not have been liquidated, then the redemption may be deferred until all the
Companys Investments have been liquidated. The liquidations shall be effected as soon as
reasonably possible. The redemption price shall be equal to the Fair Value per Share less
any costs associated with the liquidation, if any, at the Redemption Date.
No settlement and registration fees will be payable in respect of redemptions effected on
the Redemption Date. The Administrator will pay the redemption proceeds to the relevant
Shareholder in accordance with the Listings Requirements and the rules of the BSX. In
the event that invalid banking details of a Shareholder are made available to the Company,
the redemption proceeds will be transferred by the Administrator to a trust, which trust will
128
hold such redemption proceeds until the earlier of the redemption proceeds being claimed
by the relevant Shareholder or a period of three years. If the redemption proceeds are not
claimed prior to the expiry of the aforementioned period such redemption proceeds will be
paid to a charitable institution. Such Shareholder will pay an administration charge for this
service of 0.1% per annum of the redemption proceeds payable to it.
The costs associated with and incidental to the redemption will be estimated by an
independent auditor or will be based on the actual costs billed to ensure that there is no
surplus remaining in the Company after the redemption.
6.2.3. Distributions in specie
Should:
(a) the Directors deem it to be in the best interests of Shareholders; or
(b) the Company be unable to liquidate all the Investments by the Redemption Date,
then the Company will on the Redemption Date, or as soon as possible thereafter, Distribute
such Investments to the Shareholders as a Distribution in specie.
When a Distribution in specie is made, the Administrator shall provide Shareholders with
written notice, specifying:
(c) the date of the proposed Distribution;
(d) the assets to be Distributed (including, where appropriate, the class and number of
securities); and
(e) the basis on which the Distribution will be made.
If there is a reasonable likelihood that the Shareholder is prohibited by applicable law
or regulation from directly holding any security to be Distributed or in any case in which
applicable law or regulations prohibit the issuance or sale to such Shareholder of the
securities which would otherwise be Distributed to such Shareholder, then the Administrator
shall use reasonable endeavours to sell the securities proposed to be Distributed in specie
to a third party, with the proceeds thereof being Distributed to the relevant Shareholder,
provided that the costs of such sale and any losses or gains in respect thereof shall be for
the account of such Shareholder.
Distributions in specie of securities of any class shall be made on the same basis as
Distributions of cash, such that any Shareholder in receipt of the Distributions shall
receive the relevant proportionate amount of the total securities of such class available
for Distribution or (if such method of Distribution is for any reason impracticable) such that
each Shareholder shall receive as nearly as possible the relevant proportionate amount
of the total securities of such class available for Distribution together with a balancing
payment in cash in the case of any Shareholder who shall not receive the full proportionate
amount of securities to which he would otherwise be entitled.
The value attributable to any Investment Distributed in specie pursuant to this paragraph
shallbe:
129
(f) where the Investment is Distributed on the same day that it achieves a listing, the listing
price;
(g) where the Investment already comprises listed securities, the average of the bid and offer
prices of the listed securities for the ve trading days preceding the Distribution and the
ve trading days following the Distribution; and
(h) where the Investment is unlisted, the value as determined by the Directors.
6.3. Financial information
To assist Shareholders and prospective Shareholders in acquiring and disposing of Shares on the
BSX and evaluating the potential returns to be received in respect of their investment, the Directors
estimate the Fair Value per Share on a six-monthly basis.
7. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
7.1. Introduction
The Board is the focal point of the Groups corporate governance and is ultimately accountable
and responsible for the key processes and the performance and affairs of the Group and the
Company.
The Company is a Guernsey authorised collective investment scheme and therefore complies with
the Finance Sector Code of Corporate Governance issued by the Guernsey Financial Services
Commission dated September 2011, which came into force on 1 January 2012.
The Companys primary listing is on the JSE, and the Company therefore complies with the King
corporate governance code, in line with all JSE-listed companies. The 2002 King Committee
Report on Corporate Governance (King II) was replaced in March 2010 by the King Report on
Governance for South Africa (King III), which was issued in September 2009.
King III follows an apply or explain approach meaning that in situations where a company does
not apply the specic principles or recommendations of King III, this should be fully explained.
Where the Group does not fully comply with King III, an explanation has been provided below.
7.2. Board responsibilities
The Boards responsibilities include providing strategic direction, evaluating potential investments
and divestments, and overseeing the Groups investment performance. The Board is also
responsible for determining policies and processes which seek to ensure the integrity of the Groups
risk management and internal controls, implementing and maintaining the Groups communication
strategy and for ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of the Groups governance processes.
7.3. Chairman and Board composition
During 2011, the Board comprised three Executive Directors, Mr Gilbertson (Chairman), MrFrandsen
(Chief Executive), and Mr Willis (Finance Director), and three Non-Executive Directors, Mr Harris,
Mr Platt-Ransom, and Mr Tolcher.
130
On 29 February 2012, the following changes were approved by the Board:
Ms White, who previously acted as Permanent Alternate to Mr Platt-Ransom and Mr Tolcher,
was appointed as a Director;
Ms White resigned as a Permanent Alternate to Mr Platt-Ransom and Mr Tolcher; and
Mr OMahoney was appointed as a Permanent Alternate to Mr Platt-Ransom and Ms White.
King III recommends that a Board should comprise a balance of Executive and Non-Executive
Directors, with a majority of Non-Executive Directors. The Directors believe that the Boards
composition was appropriate historically, given the Groups size and its nature as an investment
holding company. The new appointments give the Board a broader range of representation and
experience.
All the Non-Executive Directors are considered to be independent in the context of King III.
King III recommends that the Board should be led by an independent Non-Executive Chairman
who should not be the CEO of the Company. The Chairman is an Executive Director, meaning the
Companys practice does not comply with King III. However, the rest of the Board believe that
the Chairmans wealth of knowledge and experience in the mining industry mean that he is best
placed to provide overall leadership to the Board. Furthermore, the Directors believe that it would
not be appropriate for the Company to be led by a Non-Executive Chairman, given the Companys
nature as an investment holding company.
King III recommends that companies appoint a Lead Independent Non-Executive Director (LID).
On 29 February 2012, the Directors resolved to appoint Mr Platt-Ransom as the rst LID, effective
immediately. The LIDs main responsibilities are to chair any meeting in which the Chairman has a
conict of interest, and to give stakeholders an additional point of contact.
7.4. Appointment of new directors
The Board collectively consider new Board appointments as and when the need arises. Due to
the Groups size, there is no separate nomination committee. When appointing a new Director, the
Board ensures that the individual would be able to devote enough time to the Groups affairs, has
an appropriate level of skills and experience, and that the Boards collective skills and experience
would remain appropriate.
7.5. Rotation of Directors
The Articles specify that one-third of the Directors shall retire from ofce at each AGM, by rotation.
In addition to these retiring Directors, any Director appointed since the previous AGM also retires
from their ofce. However, a retiring Director can be re-elected at the same AGM, and if re-elected,
is deemed to have not vacated their ofce.
7.6. Board meetings
A minimum of four Board meetings are usually held each year, to consider strategic and nancial
issues and the Groups performance and investment valuations. Additional Board meetings are
convened on an ad hoc basis, if necessary, to deal with issues promptly.
131
Directors use their best endeavours to be present at Board meetings and participate fully, frankly
and constructively.
Matters are decided at Board meetings by a majority of votes. In case of an equality of votes, the
chairperson of the meeting shall have a second, casting vote. This ensures that no one individual
has unfettered powers of decision making.
Four Board meetings were held during 2011. All decisions taken during 2011 were unanimous.
7.7. Role of Independent Valuer
The Directors have estimated the fair value of the individual investments. The Company has, in
addition, engaged Independent Valuer who has provided an opinion that the valuations of each
investment as determined by the Directors have been prepared using a methodology and approach
which is reasonable and consistent with the concept of fair value, and is in accordance with the
IPEVC Valuation Guidelines.
7.8. Board committees
Audit and Remuneration Committees have been established to assist the Board in discharging its
responsibilities. The members of these committees are all also Directors of the Company.
7.9. Audit Committee
The Audit Committee consists of Mr Platt-Ransom (Chairman), Mr Harris and Mr Tolcher.
The Executive Directors and the audit partner may be invited to attend Audit Committee meetings.
The Audit Committee met twice during 2011. The audit partner has direct access to all Audit
Committee members throughout the year.
The Audit Committees terms of reference include the following duties:
7.9.1. Financial Reporting
The Audit Committee monitors the integrity and accuracy of the Groups nancial reporting,
and focuses on:
The valuation of the Investment Portfolio;
Ensuring that the Groups nancial reporting complies with IFRS;
New and amended accounting standards and changes to the Groups accounting policies;
Reviewing the Groups cash position and going concern status;
Reviewing the calculation of the Investment Managers Benet;
Reviewing the calculation of the Performance Incentive accrual;
Any signicant adjustments resulting from the audit;
Any other signicant areas of judgement; and
The role of the Finance Director.
132
It is the view of the Audit Committee that Mr Willis continues to possess the appropriate
expertise and experience to meet the responsibilities of his position as Finance Director.
7.9.2. The Auditor and the Independent Valuer
The Audit Committee considers;
The appointment, reappointment, qualication, independence, scope and effectiveness
of the auditor;
The scope, results and cost effectiveness of the audit and the independence and
objectivity of the auditor;
The auditors letter of engagement;
The auditors management letter and any response from the Company;
Whether to engage the auditor for any non-audit services; and
The scope, results and cost effectiveness of the Independent Valuer.
The Directors are of the opinion that the auditor has observed a high level of business and
professional ethics during the year, and that their independence has not been impaired in
any way.
7.9.3. Listing, compliance and legal regulations
The Audit Committee monitors the Groups compliance with the JSE Listing Requirements
and oversees any communications with the JSE.
The Audit Committee also monitors the Groups adherence to the recommendations of King
III, as far as they are appropriate. Where not appropriate, the Audit Committee ensures that
appropriate disclosure is included to explain the non-compliance in the Groups nancial
reporting.
The Audit Committee also monitors the Groups compliance with the BSX Regulations,
Guernsey Company Law and any other relevant legal requirements or regulations.
7.9.4. Internal controls and risk management
Review of the quality of the Groups external reporting and communication with
stakeholders;
Review the effectiveness, quality, integrity and reliability of the Groups risk management
processes and internal controls; and
To assess areas dependent on IT or adequate internal controls.
7.10. Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee members are Mr Gilbertson, Mr Frandsen and Mr Willis. The
Remuneration Committee meets once a year and is responsible for determining the fees for the
Non-Executive Directors. The committee members have agreed not to receive any fees for their
services as Executive Directors, therefore the decisions made by the members are considered to
be free from conict and thus independent.
133
Directors are each entitled to receive fees for their services as determined by the Remuneration
Committee.
In accordance with the Companys Articles, this fee is currently limited to US$40,000 per Director
per annum. The Non-Executive Directors have each earned a fee of US$25,000 per annum since
1 January 2010.
King III recommends that the Remuneration Committee should consist of Non-Executive Directors,
of whom the majority should be independent. However, the Directors have resolved that it is
appropriate for the Remuneration Committee to consist of the Companys Executive Directors,
as the role of the Remuneration Committee is solely to determine the remuneration of the Non-
Executive Directors. The Executive Directors are not remunerated for their role as Directors.
One meeting of the Remuneration Committee was convened during 2011.
7.11. Risk management
The Directors are responsible for the Groups system of internal controls, which is designed to
provide reasonable assurance against material misstatement and loss. The Groups system of
internal controls is designed to provide assurance on the maintenance of proper accounting
records and the completeness and accuracy of nancial information used by management for
decision making and for publication. The internal control system includes the following elements;
An organisational structure and division of responsibilities;
Established policies and procedures; and
Established mechanisms to ensure compliance.
7.12. Risk and internal audit
King III recommends that the Board appoint an internal audit function, which should be focused
on risk.
The Company utilises a third party administrator, Legis Fund Services Limited. As Administrator,
one of the key duties of Legis is to provide the Companys accounting function. Legis is regulated
by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission and is required to maintain a robust systems and
controls environment and to maintain separate Risk and Compliance functions. This environment
is reviewed by Legis auditor as part of the annual audit process.
Legis separately engages their auditor to produce an AAF01/06 report on internal controls on
an annual basis; the most recent report is dated 24 October 2011. This report concluded that
Legis had designed suitable and effective control procedures in place in order to meet its control
objectives. Accordingly, the Directors believe that it is not appropriate for the Group to appoint its
own internal audit function.
7.13. IT governance
King III suggests that a company should appoint a specic Chief Information Ofcer, with
responsibility for IT governance.
134
The Board are collectively responsible for IT governance. As the Company is an investment
holding company, the Company does not directly own any IT assets. Legis, the Administrator,
have a formal programme of IT risk management and a Chief Information Ofcer, who manages
the Companys IT risk at Legis. The Directors believe that it is not appropriate to appoint a Chief
Information Ofcer.
7.14. Insurance
The Company has taken out a directors and ofcers liability insurance policy, which also includes
certain cover for other Group companies, including entities within the Investment Portfolio.
7.15. Sustainability reporting
The Directors recognise the importance of sustainable development. As an investment holding
company, the Company does not have a signicant direct impact on the natural environment in
which it operates. The responsibilities for sustainable development are largely retained by the
investments within the Groups Investment Portfolio. Detailed sustainability information for the
Groups Investment Portfolio can usually be obtained from publicly available information relating to
the relevant investments.
7.16. Communication with stakeholders
The Directors regularly present to shareholders on the Groups nancial performance and strategy.
The Directors maintain regular contact with analysts, institutional investors and the South African
media.
The Group ensures communication with stakeholders who do not have access to electronic media
by publishing various announcements, including its interim and nal results, in South African daily
newspapers (usually Business Day and Die Burger). The Company also maintains a website which
contains information on the Group, www.pallinghurst.com.
7.17. Trading in the Companys shares
Directors may not trade the Companys shares during certain closed periods, which are as
follows:
Between 1 January and the date on which the annual results are announced on the JSE and
BSX;
Between 1 July and the date on which the interim results are announced on the JSE and BSX;
and
If the Company is in the process of price sensitive negotiations, acquisitions or disposals, or
pending any other price sensitive announcements.
Directors are able to trade the Companys shares outside of these periods, after rst obtaining
approval in writing from the Chairman and the Finance Director. Details of any transactions by
Directors in the shares of the Company are advised to the JSE for publication on SENS, and are
also advised to the BSX for publication.
135

exist, each holder of a Management Share who is present or by proxy at a general meeting will
have 10,000 votes in respect of each Management Share held by them.
The holders of Shares are entitled to receive, and participate in, any Distributions resolved to be
distributed during any Accounting Period. On winding up and after the payment of all creditors of
the Company, the payment of the Fair Value per Share of the Shares less any cost associated with
the liquidation and the nominal value of the Management Shares, the holders of the Shares shall
be entitled to any surplus.
The holders of Management Shares have no right to receive or participate in any Distributions
of the Company except that on winding up, after the payment of all creditors of the Company
and the payment of the Fair Value per Share of the Shares less any costs associated with the
liquidation, the nominal value of the Management Shares shall be paid to the holders of the
Management Shares.
Directors control the issue or disposal of the authorised but unissued share capital of the
Company, subject to Guernsey Law. The Company may, by Special Resolution, make changes to
the authorised share capital structure (including authorising an increase to the authorised share
capital, a consolidation of the share capital, and a share split). Any reduction of share capital
requires a Special Resolution and is subject to Guernsey Law.
The Articles of Incorporation also provide that the attachment, variation and deletion of special
rights and restrictions to a class of shares must be authorised by Special Resolution of the holders
of the shares of that class. The rights attached to the Management Shares cannot be amended
unless a Special Resolution is also passed by the holders of the Shares.

11. TRADING HISTORY OF SHARES ON THE JSE
The trading history of Shares on the JSE has been disclosed in Annexure IV to the Circular.
12. EXCHANGE CONTROL REGULATIONS
12.1. Exchange Control Regulations
Set out below is a summary of the Exchange Control Regulations relating to the acquisition of
Shares.
The Company is a South African inward listed company as referenced in Section H(C)(VII) of the
Exchange Control Regulations. As such, the Exchange Control Regulations, as amended by the
Medium Term Budget Policy Statement by the South African Minister of Finance on 28 October
2004, will apply to the acquisition of Shares by South African residents, as summarised below.
Exchange Control Regulations restrict the export of capital from the Common Monetary Area,
without the prior consent of the South African Reserve Bank. The Exchange Control Regulations
apply to transactions involving South African residents, including both natural persons and
legalentities.
Funds raised outside the Common Monetary Area by the Company and its non-South African
Subsidiaries are not restricted under the Exchange Control Regulations. Non-South African
residents may freely sell their Shares on the JSE and freely remit the proceeds outside of the
Common MonetaryArea.
The following summary is intended as a guide and is not comprehensive. It is recommended that
Shareholders and prospective Shareholders consult their independent professional advisors if
they have any doubt regarding the implications of the Exchange Control Regulations.
12.1.1. South African individuals
South African individuals will be able to acquire shares in African inward listed companies
that are listed on the JSE, such as the Company, without restriction. Consequently, an
acquisition of Shares by a South African individual will not affect such persons offshore
investment allowance.
138
12.1.2. South African institutional investors
South African retirement funds, long-term insurers, collective investment scheme
management companies as well as investment managers who have registered with
Exchange Control as institutional Shareholders for Exchange Control purposes. All inward
listed shares will be classied as domestic companies and therefore there would be no
restrictions for South African institutions holding shares on the JSE.
12.1.3. South African corporate entities
A South African corporate entity may invest in instruments that are inward listed on the JSE
without restriction.
12.1.4. Member brokers of the JSE
In terms of section H(E) of the South African Reserve Bank Exchange Control Rulings,
a special dispensation was provided to local brokers to facilitate the trading in shares of
South African inward listed companies. South African brokers are now allowed, as a book
building exercise, to purchase Shares offshore and to transfer them to the Companys South
African Register. This special dispensation is conned to shares of inward listed companies
and brokers may warehouse such shares for a maximum period of 30 daysonly.
12.1.5. Exchange Control provisions applicable to South African residents in respect of
acquisition issues and rights by African companies that are listed on the JSE
African companies with inward listings on the JSE, such as the Company, will be allowed
to issue shares to South African residents in consideration for acquisitions. South African
institutional Shareholders will be given 12 months to realign their portfolios, should they be
in excess of their Exchange Control foreign exposure limits as a result of such acquisition
issues. South African institutional Shareholders and corporate entities will be allowed to
exercise their rights in terms of any rights issues by African companies with inward listings
on the JSE, such as the Company. South African institutional Shareholders will be given a
period of twelve months to realign their portfolios should they be in excess of their offshore
investment allowances as a result of exercising their rights in terms of a rights offer.
12.1.6. Non-residents of the Common Monetary Area
Non-residents of the Common Monetary Area may acquire Shares on the JSE, provided
they pay the purchase price from a non-resident account at a South African registered bank
in Rands. However, former residents of the Common Monetary Area who have emigrated
may not use emigrant blocked funds to acquire any inward listed Shares.
12.1.7. Transfer of Shares between Registers
Shares are fully fungible and may be transferred between the South African Register
and the BSX Register. Eligible South African Shareholders, being those described in the
paragraphs above, may only acquire Shares via the JSE that are already on the South
African Register maintained by the Transfer Secretaries. Member brokers of the JSE may
acquire Shares on foreign exchanges and transfer them to the South African Register as
described above. Non-residents are not subject to the Exchange Control Regulations and
may freely transfer Shares between the South African Register and the BSX Register.
139
13. EXPENSES, FEES AND INVESTMENT MANAGERS BENEFITS
13.1. Expenses
The Company is responsible for all the expenses incurred by the Company including, but not limited
to, the Annual Operating Expenses. In addition, the Company has agreed that the Investment
Manager or its associated entities shall be entitled to the nancial benets described in paragraph
13.3 below.
The Company shall reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses properly incurred by the
Investment Manager, the Administrator, and each of the Directors in the performance of their
duties on behalf of the Company.
13.2. Administrator fee
Under the Administration Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay or procure to be paid to
the Administrator, for its services as administrator and company secretary, a minimum fee of
US$80,000 per annum payable within 20 Business Days of the end of each quarter to which the
fee applies, until the Redemption Date or if earlier, termination of the Administration Agreement.
13.3. Investment Managers Benets
13.3.1. Annual Investment Managers Benet
The Investment Manager shall, as consideration for the investment advisory and
management services provided to the Company in relation to Investment opportunities
falling within the Investment Scope, be entitled to an annual benet that will not exceed:
(a) during the Investment Period
1
, an amount of 1.5% per annum of the Companys Funds,
payable quarterly in advance; and
(b) with effect from the end of the Investment Period, an amount of 1.5% per annum of the
lesser of the aggregate Acquisition Cost or market value (as determined by the most
recent independent valuation) of Unrealised Investments of the Company during the
relevant Accounting Period, calculated and payable quarterly in advance.
The Annual Investment Managers Benet shall be reduced by an amount equal to such
part of all Transaction Receipts received and retained by the Investment Manager in
the previous Accounting Period and not previously taken into account pursuant to this
paragraph (and if the amount of such reduction is greater than the Annual Investment
Managers Benet for the Accounting Period in question, the excess amount will be carried
forward and off-set against the Annual Investment Managers Benet to be allocated in the
next Accounting Period(s)).
If, on the Redemption Date, there remains any excess Transaction Receipts which have not
been offset against the Annual Investment Managers Benet pursuant to this paragraph,
then the Investment Manager shall reimburse the Company for an amount equal to
suchexcess.
140
The Annual Investment Managers Benet shall be subject to a pro rata refund to the
Company for any period for which a portion of the Annual Investment Managers Benet
was paid in advance, but during which the Investment Management Agreement has
beenterminated.
13.3.2. Performance Incentive
Subject to certain conditions, the Investment Manager is entitled to a Performance
Incentive related to the performance of the Groups investments. The excess of the total
funds available for return to shareholders, over the total amount subscribed for in the
Company, will be split between the shareholders and the Investment Manager
2
in the
ratio 80%/20%. This is subject to meeting a Hurdle
3
of 8% per annum; until the Hurdle is
reached, the Investment Manager is not entitled to the Performance Incentive, ensuring
that the Investment Manager would only be rewarded if aggregate returns to shareholders
are in excess of 8% per year.
Whether a sufcient return has been made, and whether the Performance Incentive is
payable, is only assessed at the end of the Investment Period. However, the Directors
assess whether a Performance Incentive accrual should be made at the end of each
reporting period. The Directors also assess whether the accrual should be accounted for
as a current or non-current liability, based on their best assessment of the likely timing of
any outow.
The accrual for the Performance Incentive is calculated as follows:
(a) The Groups Aggregate Proceeds
4
are allocated entirely to shareholders until such
time as shareholders have received an aggregate amount of the Companys Funds
5
plus the Hurdle;
(b) Thereafter, the Investment Manager is allocated all further Aggregate Proceeds until it
has been allocated an amount equal to 25% of the Hurdle; and
(c) Aggregate Proceeds are then allocated 80% to Investors and 20% to the Investment
Manager.
1
The Investment Period commenced on 14 September 2007. The Investment Period can end under various circumstances,
including if shareholders approve that the period should end in a general meeting by special resolution. The Investment
Period may end on 14 September 2012, the ve year anniversary of the Companys incorporation, unless shareholders
agree that it should be extended. The Investment Period has not yet ended.
2
A Performance Incentive payment could be made to the Investment Manager or to an afliate of the Investment
Manager.
3
The Hurdle is calculated as 8% of the Companys Funds, compounded annually each year, and calculated daily.
4
Aggregate Proceeds are effectively equal to the Groups NAV, after adding back any accrual for the Performance
Incentive. For the purposes of the accrual calculation, it is assumed that investments will be disposed of for an amount
equal to their current fair value, with no associated transaction costs, and full distribution of proceeds to shareholders.
The Groups NAV, after adding back any Performance Incentive accrual, is therefore the best current estimate of what
the total amount available for distribution would be.
5
The Companys Funds are effectively equal to the sum of the Companys share capital and share premium.
141
13.3.3. End of the Investment Period
After the end of the Investment Period, the Company must Distribute all Aggregate Proceeds
to Shareholders within 30 Business Days of receipt, through a dividend, the redemption of
Shares or another suitable method, unless otherwise resolved by Special Resolution and
with the prior written consent of the Investment Manager.
14. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Investment Manager and its associated entities shall not, except with the prior consent of Shareholders
by means of an Ordinary Resolution, commence investing, or act as the primary source of transactions
for a new investment entity with a similar Investment Scope as that of the Company at any time prior to
whichever is the earliest to occur of:
(a) the removal of the Investment Manager as investment manager to the Company;
(b) the expiry of the Investment Period; and
(c) the winding-up of the Company.
Thereafter the Investment Manager and its associated entities shall be entitled to establish a new entity
with a similar Investment Scope and to raise funds for such new entity whilst simultaneously continuing
to act as Investment Manager for the Company with a view to managing and Realising Investments.
The Administrator and the Directors, other than Brian Gilbertson, Arne H. Frandsen and Andrew Willis,
may provide similar services to other companies and/or entities even where the business of those other
companies and/or entities is or may be in competition with the Company.
In the event that any of the Directors, in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation,
the Investment Manager and the Administrator, in the ordinary course of business, have potential conicts
of interest with the Company, each will, at all times, have regard in such event to their obligations to the
Company and will endeavour to ensure that such conicts are resolved fairly. In addition, any of the
foregoing may deal as principal or agent with the Company, provided that such dealings are carried out
on normal commercial terms negotiated on an arms length basis and, in the case of the Directors, in
accordance with the Articles of Incorporation.
Certain interests of the Directors are set out in paragraph 3 of these Revised Listing Particulars. The
Articles of Incorporation specify the circumstances in which a Director may or may not vote in relation
to a matter in which he may be interested, as described in paragraph 4 in Appendix I headed Extracts
from the Articles of Incorporation of the Revised Listing Particulars.
None of the Directors have existing or proposed service contracts with the Company. None of the
Directors have any contract or arrangement existing at the date of the Revised Listing Particulars in which
the Director is materially interested and which is material in relation to the business of the Company, save
for as disclosed in the Revised Listing Particulars and, in particular, in the case of Brian Gilbertson, Arne
H. Frandsen and Andrew Willis, inter alia, the Investment Management Agreement.
A Director may own Shares in the Company, but there is no requirement that he or she does so. The
Directors and the executives/Partners of the Investment Manager may from time to time have benecial
142
interests in the Investment Manager and/or the Company, as the case may be. Directors, who are
executives/Partners of the Investment Manager and the executives/Partners of the Investment Manager,
will be precluded from voting as Shareholders on any proposal in relation to the Investment Management
Agreement, subsequent to the conclusion thereof by the Company.
15. TAXATION
The following is a general summary of certain tax considerations that an existing or prospective
Shareholder should consider. The summary below is based upon current law and administrative practice,
which is subject to change, and does not address all of the tax considerations that may be relevant
to a particular Shareholder in light of its own particular circumstances. Shareholders and prospective
Shareholders should consult their professional advisors on the tax consequences of acquiring, holding,
disposing, transferring or the redemption of their Shares, which will normally depend upon their country
of citizenship, ordinary residence or domicile.
In Guernsey
The following summary of the anticipated tax treatment in Guernsey applies to Shareholders:
15.1. General
The information below, which relates only to Guernsey taxation, summarises the advice received
by the Directors. It is applicable to the Company and to Shareholders who are resident or ordinarily
resident in Guernsey for taxation purposes and who hold Shares in the Company as an investment.
It is based on current Guernsey revenue law and published practice, which revenue law or practice
is, in principle, subject to any subsequent amendments. This summary does not constitute legal
or tax advice and is based on current Guernsey revenue law and published practice existing
at the date of the Revised Listing Particulars. Prospective Shareholders should be aware that
the level and bases of taxation may change from those described and they should consult their
own professional advisors on the implications of acquiring, holding, disposing, transferring or the
redemption of their Shares under the laws of the countries in which they are liable to taxation.
The following information does not deal with certain types of Shareholders, such as Shareholders
acquiring, holding, disposing, transferring or the redemption of their Shares in the course of trade,
collective investment schemes or insurance companies.
15.2. The Company
The Company has been granted tax exempt status by the Director of Income Tax in Guernsey
for conrmation that the Company will be eligible for exempt status under the Income Tax
(Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 1989 (the Ordinance). The Company will need to re-
apply annually for exempt status for Guernsey tax purposes, incurring the current fee of GBP600
perannum.
As exempt status has been granted, the Company will not be considered resident in Guernsey for
Guernsey income tax purposes. A company that has exempt status for Guernsey tax purposes
is exempt from tax in Guernsey on both bank deposit interest and any income that does not have
its source in Guernsey. It is not anticipated that any income other than bank interest will arise in
143
Guernsey and therefore the Company is not expected to incur any additional liability for Guernsey
tax. Payments of dividends and interest by a company that has exempt status for Guernsey tax
purposes are regarded as having their source outside Guernsey and hence are payable without
deduction of tax in Guernsey.
In the absence of an exemption, the Company would be treated as resident in Guernsey for
Guernsey income tax purposes and subject to the zero rate regime, described below.
In response to the review carried out by the European Union Code of Conduct Company, the
States of Guernsey has agreed to abolish exempt tax status for the majority of companies and to
introduce a zero rate of tax for companies carrying on all but a few specied types of regulated
business. The Company, in the absence of an exemption, together with any Guernsey incorporated
subsidiaries, and any other companies controlled by the Company would become Guernsey
resident companies subject to the zero rate of Guernsey tax. Under this regime, the Company and
any subsidiaries would not be required to withhold Guernsey income tax from interest or dividends
paid by them other than in respect of distributions to Guernsey resident individuals.
The States of Guernsey has also agreed that because closed-ended investment vehicles are not
one of the regimes in Guernsey classied by the EU Code of Conduct Company as being harmful,
closed-ended investment vehicles will continue to be able to apply for exempt status for Guernsey
tax purposes. The changes introduced by the zero tax regime are not expected to have any
material impact on the Company, as it is expected that the Company will be granted exempt
taxstatus.
The Policy Council of the States of Guernsey has stated that it may consider further revenue
raising measures in 2011/2012, including possibly the introduction of a goods and services tax,
depending on the state of Guernseys public nances at that time.
Non-Guernsey resident Shareholders will not be subject to Guernsey tax on the redemption or
disposal of their holding of Shares in the Company.
Guernsey currently does not levy taxes upon capital inheritances, capital gains (with the exception
of a dwellings prot tax) gifts, sales or turnover, nor are there any estate duties, save for an ad
valorem fee for the grant of probate or letters of administration. No stamp duty is chargeable in
Guernsey on the issue, transfer, switching or redemption of shares in the Company.
15.3. Shareholders
Shareholders resident outside Guernsey will not be subject to any income tax in Guernsey in
respect of any Shares owned by them. Any Shareholders who are resident for tax purposes in
Guernsey, Alderney or Herm will incur Guernsey income tax on any dividends paid on Shares
owned by them but will suffer no deduction of tax by the Company from any such dividends
payable by the Company where the Company is granted exempt status. The Company is required
to provide details of distributions made to Shareholders resident in the Islands of Guernsey,
Alderney and Herm to the Director of Income Tax in Guernsey.
144
In South Africa
15.4. Transfer of Shares from the BSX Register to the South African Register
Certain South African residents are currently Shareholders in the Company through the BSX and
hold their shares through the BSX Register.
With regard to the transfer of the Shares to the South African Register, such a transfer would not
trigger a disposal of the Shares and would therefore not result in any South African Capital Gains
Tax consequences.
The Shares transferred from the BSX Register to the South African Register will be the same Shares
with the same rights and entitlements and therefore the transfer will not constitute a disposal for
South African capital gains tax purposes.
15.5. Shareholder taxation
As the investment is in the Shares of the Company, the tax consequences relating to the investment
will depend on the nature and status of each Shareholder. Existing and potential Shareholders
should seek advice from their own independent professional advisors in relation to the taxation
consequences of acquiring, holding, disposing, transferring or the redeeming of their Shares.
16. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Group makes and holds various investments, and does not directly carry out any other operating
activities. The performance of the Groups Investment Portfolio is therefore the most signicant factor in
determining the Groups Net Asset Value (NAV).
Shareholders should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties, which may not be
comprehensive, before investing in the Company.
16.1. Key risks to the Investment Portfolio
16.1.1. Macroeconomic risks
The macroeconomic outlook is uncertain and could adversely impact on the Groups
investments. Macroeconomic problems could impact on the Group in various ways.
The Group does not consolidate any mining assets or hold any physical commodities on
its balance sheet, so commodity price changes have no direct impact on the Financial
Statements. However, certain prices, particularly of PGMs, iron ore and manganese, can
impact on the valuation of the Groups investments. The prices of certain precious and
semi-precious gemstones are also relevant, in particular, the prices of emeralds, rubies
and amethysts; these prices are less predictable than other commodities.
A poor macroeconomic outlook could create other difculties for the Groups investments.
Suppliers or customers may come under pressure. Governments may introduce changes
to the tax and regulatory environments in which the investments operate. These factors
could result in a material adverse impact on the Groups future prospects.
145
16.1.2. Resources sector and country risk
The Group investments are focused on the resources sector. All such investments have
associated operational performance, political, economic, litigation, foreign currency and
country risks. If the sector encounters difculties, these could adversely affect more than
one investment simultaneously.
The Group is invested in various countries including South Africa, Australia and Zambia.
Specic risks associated with different countries in which the Group is invested may include
risks associated with regulatory, tax, foreign exchange uctuations, industrial relations
problems, and other local economic conditions. The Groups investments could also
suffer from future unanticipated events or problems. The Group holds a limited number
of investments, each of which is usually material, and the failure of any single investment
could have a signicant adverse impact on the Group.
The Groups Investment Portfolio contains unlisted investments, which can present
different risks compared to listed investments. Unlisted investments may be illiquid, and it
may not be possible for the Group to divest of its investments at their current valuations.
The management team may not be large and the performance and retention of a small
number of key personnel may be vital to success.
16.1.3. Mining risk
Exploration, extraction and processing activities are generally speculative in nature and
there can be no assurance that any mineral deposits will be discovered, successfully
extracted or processed. The exploration, development, mining and processing of mineral
deposits gives rise to signicant uncertainties and operations are subject to all of the
hazards and risks normally encountered in such activities. Costs can be difcult to predict.
Exploration, extraction and processing activities are usually subject to environmental and
safety laws and labour and occupational health legislation. A breach of environmental
laws and regulations could result in the imposition of a ne, or closure of operations. Any
environmental damage could create negative publicity for the investment, which could also
affect the Group. Such breaches could also affect any future mining licence applications
by the Groups investments. Damage to, or destruction of, an investments facilities or
property, environmental damage or pollution and, together with potential legal liability, could
have a material adverse impact on the business, operations and nancial performance of
an investment. As mining companies move closer towards production, the risks associated
with the investments signicantly change and develop. Material new types of risk such
as energy security, safety, sustainable development, employee relations and the risks
associated with mining rights and permits are all likely to become more signicant. Other
specic mining risks include resource nationalism, which could see the sequestration of
mining assets by national governments, or the adverse impact caused by the rejection of
applications for mining permits or licences.
146
16.1.4. Other risks facing the Investment Portfolio
The Groups investments may also face other risks in their normal course of business. For
the Groups listed investments, including Jupiter and Gemelds, these risks are further
articulated in their respective nancial statements, which are publicly available. The
Faberg investment faces various risks associated with a luxury brand in the early stages
of its development.
16.2. Direct risks to the Group
16.2.1. Liquidity risk
The Groups cash balance has decreased over time as the Group has become more fully
invested. The Directors have considered various avenues to ensure that the Group is able
to continue to operate effectively, and is currently seeking to raise new equity capital from
existing shareholders via the Rights Issue. If the rights issue is not successful, the Group
would suffer from a number of adverse implications and may not be able to continue in
business.
16.2.2. Counterparty risk (banking or other)
Materially all of the Groups cash balances are held in US$, with Investec Bank (Channel
Islands) Limited, a subsidiary of Investec Bank plc (Investec), which is rated as BBB minus
by Fitch ratings. The Groups subsidiaries and associates hold immaterial cash balances
with various other banks. Bankruptcy or insolvency of any of these entities, but particularly
Investec, could have a signicant adverse impact on the Group.
16.2.3. Exchange rate risk
The Groups investments are denominated in a variety of currencies. The Groups treasury
policy states that all balances should be held in US$ other than when there will be a known,
material investment outow in a foreign currency other than the US$. If such an outow
is anticipated, the relevant balance is translated to the relevant currency. This ensures
that the Group does not carry material foreign exchange risk on its balance sheet in most
circumstances.
16.2.4. External reporting risk of failure to accurately report nancial or other information
The Groups external nancial reporting is reliant on various IT systems, plus the integrity
and quality of staff at the Administrator and Investment Manager. Failure of information
systems could lead to the loss of accounting records, which could ultimately lead to a
material error in the Groups nancial reporting. The valuation of the Investment Portfolio
each reporting period is complex and subjective, and if the valuations were misstated,
this could materially affect both the Groups NAV and its reputation. Shareholders should
anticipate further changes in the Groups risk prole over time. As the Group has developed
and become more fully invested, the relative importance of certain risks compared to others
has changed and developed. There have been no material changes to the risk prole of the
Group since 31 December 2011.
147

Directors and may also determine in which manner or rotation such increased (or reduced) number
is to go out of ofce.
(h) A Director who to his knowledge is in any way directly or indirectly interested in a contract or
arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement with the Company shall disclose the nature of
his interest at a meeting of the Board. In the case of a proposed contract or arrangement such
disclosure shall be made at the meeting of the Board at which the question of entering into the
contract or arrangement is rst taken into consideration or, if the Director was not at the date of
that meeting interested in the proposed contract or arrangement, at the next meeting of the Board
held after he became so interested. In a case where the Director becomes interested in a proposed
contract or arrangement after it is made, disclosure shall be made at the rst meeting of the Board
held after the Director becomes so interested. For the purpose of the foregoing a general notice in
writing given to the Board by such Director to the effect that he is a member of a specied company
and/or entity and is to be regarded as interested in any proposed contract or arrangement which
may after the date of the notice be made with that company and/or entity shall be deemed to be a
sufcient disclosure of interest provided that it is given at a meeting of the Board or the Director takes
reasonable steps to ensure that it is raised and read at the next meeting of the Board after it is given.
(i) A Director may not vote (but may in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation be counted in the
quorum) in respect of any resolution of the Directors or subcommittee of the Directors concerning a
proposed contract, arrangement, transaction or proposal to which the Company is or is to be a party
and in which he has an interest which (together with any interest of associates) is, to his knowledge,
a material interest (otherwise than by virtue of his interest in Shares or debentures or other securities
of or otherwise in or through the Company) but, in the absence of some other material interest than is
mentioned below, this prohibition does not apply to a resolution concerning any of the following matters:
(i) providing a guarantee, security or indemnity in respect of money lent or obligations incurred by
the Director or any other person at the request of or for the benet of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries;
(ii) providing a guarantee, security or indemnity by the Director to a third party in respect of a debt
or obligation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for which the Director has assumed
responsibility in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others, under a guarantee or indemnity
or by the giving of security;
(iii) a proposed contract, arrangement, transaction or proposal concerning an offer of Shares,
debentures or other securities of or by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for subscription or
purchase, in which offer the Director is or may be entitled to participate as a Shareholder or in the
underwriting or sub-underwriting of which the Director is to participate;
(iv) a proposed contract, arrangement, transaction or proposal to which the Company is or is to be a
party concerning another company (including a subsidiary of the company) in which the Director

(3) A Director may hold any other ofce under the Company (other than Auditor) in conjunction

meeting and his ruling in relation to any other Director shall be nal and conclusive except in
a case where the nature or extent of the interests of the Director concerned have not been
fairly disclosed.
(7) The Company may by Ordinary Resolution suspend or relax the provisions described above
to any extent or ratify any transaction not duly authorised by reason of a contravention of any
such provision.

Investments and/or assets or any part thereof and to issue debentures or debenture stock (whether
secured or unsecured), whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company
or any third party, shall be limited to 30% of the value of the Companys assets.
6. DIVIDENDS/REDEMPTIONS/RETURNS TO SHAREHOLDERS
(a) Subject to Guernsey Law and as set out below, the Company in general meeting may from time to
time declare dividends but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.
During the Investment Period, no dividends may be declared or paid other than from the prots or
157
gains resulting from the Realisation of Investments and thereafter no dividends may be declared or
paid other than from Aggregate Proceeds. Any dividends paid will be paid in accordance with the
policy of the BSX and those of the Listings Requirements.
(b) No unclaimed dividends will bear interest against the Company. Any dividend unclaimed will be
transferred to a trust which will hold it until the earlier of the date on which such dividends are claimed
by the relevant Shareholder or three years from the date on which the Company attempted to pay
such dividend to the Shareholder. If dividends are not claimed before the expiry of the aforementioned
period, such dividends will be paid to a charitable institution. The Shareholder will pay administration
charges for the service of 0.1% per annum of the amount of such unclaimed dividend.
(c) The Directors may, before recommending any dividend, set aside out of the prots of the Company
such sums as they deem appropriate as reserves which will, at the discretion of the Directors, be
applicable for any purpose to which the Aggregate Proceeds of the Company may be properly
applied and pending such application may, also at such discretion, either be employed in the
business of the Company or, during the Investment Period, be invested in such Investments as the
Directors may from time to time deem t. The Directors also, at their discretion, and subject to 6(d)
below, may without placing the same to reserve, carry forward any prots which they deem prudent
not to distribute.
(d) Post the Investment Period, unless otherwise resolved by Special Resolution and with the prior
written consent of the Investment Manager, the Company is obliged to Distribute all Aggregate
Proceeds to Shareholders within 30 Business Days of the receipt of such Aggregate Proceeds,
whether through Distributions, the redemption of Shares or otherwise.
7. RIGHTS ON A WINDING-UP
Under Guernsey Law the Company can be wound up at any time as provided for by those Laws. In
particular, the Company can be wound up by way of a Special Resolution at an extraordinary general
meeting duly convened by the Directors.
In the event of the Company being wound up:
(a) the liquidator will apply the assets of the Company, subject to the provisions of the Laws, in satisfaction
of:
(i) creditors claims;
(ii) settlement of the Fair Value per Share of the Shares, less any costs associated with such
liquidation;
(iii) settlement of the nominal value of the Management Shares; and
(iv) any surplus will be paid to Shareholders.
(b) the liquidator may, with sanction by Shareholders by Special Resolution, divide any part of the assets

APPENDIX II
MATERIAL CONTRACTS OF THE COMPANY
1. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement dated 4 September 2007 between the Company
and the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager has been appointed to provide the Company with
investment advisory and management services in relation to Investments falling within the Investment
Scope as described under the section headed Investment Strategy Investment Scope of the Revised
Listing Particulars. Details of the benets attributable to the Investment Manager are shown in the section
headed Expenses, Fees and Investment Managers Benets of the Revised Listing Particulars.
The Investment Manager shall not be under any liability as a consequence of any action performed by the
Investment Manager acting in good faith in accordance with the terms of the Investment Management
Agreement or any specic written request of the Company. The Investment Manager shall not be liable
to the Company for any decline in the value of the Investments or any part thereof to the extent that such
decline results from the Investment Managers implementation of any express direction of the Board or
from any Investment recommendation made by the Investment Manager acting in good faith unless such
recommendation was as a result of Cause.
The Investment Management Agreement contains certain Key Man provisions to ensure that the
Investment Manager retains its key executives with the necessary expertise and experience in order
to provide the investment advisory and management services to the Company in accordance with the
scope and terms of the Investment Management Agreement.
In summary, the Key Man provisions state that the Investment Management Agreement will be
immediately suspended for a period of up to twelve months upon the occurrence of a Key Man Event (the
Suspension Period), during which Suspension Period no acquisition or disposal of Investments may
occur but that all other obligations of the Company will continue to be met by the Company (including
the payment of the Annual Investment Managers Benet and the completion of contracts entered into
by or on behalf of the Company before entering into such Suspension Period).
Upon the occurrence of a Key Man Event, the Investment Manager will have until the end of the Suspension
Period to appoint a replacement Key Man, failing which, the Investment Period shall immediately
terminate. If the Board approves of and recommends a replacement Key Man appointment, as soon as
practicable thereafter, the Board will propose and seek Shareholders approval in general meeting by
Ordinary Resolution of such replacement Key Man. Once the replacement Key Man has been approved
by Shareholders, the Suspension Period will immediately terminate. Should the requisite Ordinary
Resolution not be passed by Shareholders or any such subsequent Ordinary Resolution proposed by
the Board during the Suspension Period for the replacement of such Key Man, the Investment Period
shall immediately terminate.
159
The Investment Management Agreement contains indemnity provisions by the Company in favour of the
Investment Manager, which are similar in all material respects with the indemnity provisions set out in the
section headed General Information Indemnities of the Revised Listing Particulars.
In addition the Investment Management Agreement may be terminated:
(a) automatically on the date of winding-up of the Company;
(b) by the Company, at any time from its commencement, by Shareholders in extraordinary general
meeting by Special Resolution if such termination is as a result of the Investment Managers Cause.
No further Annual Investment Managers Benet or Performance Incentive shall be payable on or
after the date of such termination. The termination of the Investment Management Agreement shall
not take effect until the Shareholders of the Company have by Special Resolution approved the
appointment of a replacement investment manager; and
(c) by Shareholders, at any time from its commencement, in general meeting by Ordinary Resolution, if
such termination is as a result of:
(i) Brian Gilbertson failing to devote substantially all of his professional time to the business and
affairs of the Programme; and/or
(ii) Brian Gilbertson ceasing to be an executive of the Investment Manager or its associated entities.
In the event that the Investment Management Agreement is terminated:
(a) pursuant to (a) or (c) above, the Investment Manager shall be entitled to receive 100% of any
Performance Incentive in respect of those Investments which had been made at the time of the
termination of the Investment Management Agreement; and
(b) pursuant to (b) above, the Investment Manager shall not be entitled to receive any Performance
Incentive, whether earned at the time of the termination of the Investment Management Agreement
or otherwise.
2. ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement dated 4 September 2007 between the Administrator and
the Company, the Administrator has been appointed by the Company to carry out the day-to-day
administration, secretarial and registrar functions of the Company. The Administrator is also responsible for
performing certain duties in relation to the issue, transfer and redemption of Shares and theirsettlement.
In the absence of Cause, the Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgement or for any loss
or damage suffered by the Company, any Shareholder or the Investment Manager or otherwise arising,
directly or indirectly, as a result of or in the course of the discharge of its duties in good faith including
(but without limitation) any loss arising from anything done or omitted to be done by the Administrator in
good faith on reliance on or in accordance with the opinion or advice of the Investment Manager (or its
associated entities), the Companys legal advisors, auditors, bankers, or other competent professional
advisors, nor for any loss or damage sustained in the sale of any Investment howsoever any such loss
may have occurred. The Administrator shall not be liable for any loss or damage which may arise where
the Administrator has acted in good faith or upon any instruction or communication from the Company
or its Directors which the Administrator reasonably believes to be genuine.
160
The Administration Agreement contains an indemnity by the Company in favour of the Administrator,
which are similar in all material respects with the indemnity provisions set out in the section headed
General Information Indemnities of the Revised Listing Particulars.
The Administrator shall not be responsible for any loss or damage to the Company or for any failure to
full its duties if such loss, damage or failure was caused by or directly or indirectly due to war, damage,
enemy action, the act of any Government or other competent authority, riot, civil commotion, rebellion,
storm, tempest, accident, re, strike, lockout or other cause whether similar or not beyond the control of
the Administrator.
Either the Administrator or the Company shall be entitled to terminate the Administration Agreement
by giving not less than six months notice in writing to the other party provided that the Administration
Agreement may be terminated forthwith upon:
(a) the commencement of winding-up proceedings in respect of either party (except for a summary
winding-up for the purpose of reconstruction or amalgamation upon terms previously approved by
the parties in writing), or following any other event of bankruptcy, dsastre, or any event of insolvency
with respect to the Administrator or the Company or other similar or analogous procedure or step
has been taken in any jurisdiction in relation to the Administrator or the Company; or
(b) the Administrator ceasing to be qualied to act as such pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation or
ceases to be licensed under the Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 1987; or
(c) either party committing any material breach of its obligations under the Administration Agreement
and (if such breach shall be capable of remedy) shall fail within 30 days of receipt of notice in writing
served by the Administrator or the Company on the other party concerned requiring it to do so, to
remedy such breach.

7. EXCHANGE CONTROL REGULATIONS
The following summary is intended only as a guide and is, therefore, not comprehensive. If Shareholders
are in any doubt as to the appropriate course of action they are advised to consult their professional
advisors.
In terms of the Exchange Control Regulations:
Non-residents of the Common Monetary Area will be allowed to, using their off-shore funds:
take-up Rights allocated to them in terms of the Rights Offer;
purchase Letters of Allocation on the JSE; and
subscribe for Rights Offer Shares arising in respect of the Letters of Allocation purchased on the JSE;
and
subscribe for Excess Rights Offer Shares,
provided payment is received either through normal banking channels from abroad or from a non-
resident account.
All applications by non-residents for the above purposes must be made through an authorised dealer,
in Rand introduced from abroad for a non-resident Rand account. Following the close of the Rights
Offer and the listing of the Rights Offer Shares on the JSE, Rights Offer Shares issued pursuant to such
applications will be endorsed non-resident. BSX Shareholders who are non-residents (excluding former
residents) of the Common Monetary Area may elect to transfer their Rights Offer Shares to theBSX.
7
Former residents:
Where a Right in terms of the Rights Offer accrues to a former resident of the Common Monetary Area,
which Right is based on Shares blocked in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations, then emigrant
blocked funds may not be used to take up the Rights or Shares in Pallinghurst as a company with an
inward listing on the JSE.
BSX Shareholders who are residents of the Common Monetary Area:
Where a BSX Shareholder wishes to take up Rights allocated to them in terms of the Rights Offer and
such BSX Shareholder is a resident of the Common Monetary Area, such BSX Shareholder will be able to
use funds within the Common Monetary Area to take up Rights allocated to them in terms of the Rights
Offer or legitimate off-shore funds transferred through normal banking channels from abroad to do so.
Following the close of the Rights Offer and the listing of the Rights Offer Shares on the JSE, Rights Offer
Shares issued pursuant to applications by BSX Shareholders using funds within the Common Monetary
Area will not be transferrable by such BSX Shareholder to the BSX. However, where legitimate off-shore
funds are used, such BSX Shareholder may elect to transfer such Rights Offer Shares to the BSX.
