  20. Appointment of Alan Keschner Alan Keschner was appointed as an independent non-executive director with effect from 25 February 2013. BSc in Mechanical Engineering Post-Graduate Diploma and Masters Degree in Industrial Administration He was an executive and main board member of the Hudaco Group from 1997-2004 In additional to Hudaco, he has worked in a wide range of industrial and trading industries, including the spare parts, capital equipment and services sectors Alan has broad experience in mergers and acquisitions, turnarounds, restructurings, growth initiatives, team development and business and asset sales

  21. Looking Forward

  22. Outlook Current capital equipment portfolio is highly dependent on domestic, and by extension global, economic growth Initiatives underway to develop a more defensive bias in the portfolio through investment into the aftermarket spare parts and financing segments Forktech client mix also has a strong bias towards the agriculture sector Infrastructure and mining projects in Africa are a key target Construction, infrastructure, agriculture, power generation and mining sectors are key for the group Exposure to Rand exchange rates Coming off a relatively low base, earnings will be materially driven by acquisitions in the coming periods, although organic growth and margin improvement will be a key focus for management

  23. Outlook (cont’d) A rights issue is envisaged before 30 June 2013 to fund the TAGS transaction and to provide balance sheet capacity for the Group This will not be the beginning of a series of dilutive capital raisings The intention will be to raise sufficient funding to complete the TAGS deal and provide balance sheet capacity in respect of identified bolt-on and organic growth opportunities Thereafter it is intended to limit share issues and fund future deals with acquisition debt, deferred consideration and retained earnings We are targeting the completion of the TAGS deal before 30 June 2013, with another transformational deal to be completed before 31 December 2013 In 2013 we also aim to commence operations in the trade and asset finance segment and complete 1 -2 small bolt on deals via existing subsidiaries
