Notes
1. Results for the year include the results of Transvaal Gold Mining Estates
Limited ("TGME") on the basis that the acquistion of TGME by Simmers was
approved by Simmers shareholders on 4 October 1999 with retrospective effect
to 1 December 1998. The finalisation of the acquisition of TGME remains
subject to the approval of the Competition Commission.
2. Operating losses for the year include the holding costs of assets kept on
care and maintenance and the operating losses of TGME's surface operations
which were terminated in April 1999.
3. In the event of the approval being obtained from the Competition Commission
for the acquisition of TGME, the purchase consideration for TGME is to be
settled by issue of 80 000 000 ordinary shares in Simmers at an issue price
of 40 cents per share and R500 000 in cash.
4. A portion of the shareholders loan amounting R 38 047 142 was capitalised on
11 October 1999 by way of an issue of 95 117 855 ordinary shares in Simmers
at an issue price of 40 cents per share. The balance of the loan account
bears interest at prime bank overdraft rates plus two percentage points and
is repayable by mutual agreement.
5. A pro forma balance sheet, based on the actual financial position at 30 June
1999 is given to indicate the financial effect the acquisition of TGME and
the capitalisation of the shareholders' loan will have once completed.
6. The finalisation of the audit of the results for the year ended 30 June 1999
remains subject to approval of the acquisition of TGME by the Competition
Commission.
7. The rationalisation of the combined assets of the company and TGME is
proceeding satisfactorily and in terms of the information provided in the
circular to shareholders dated 10 September 1999. Both the Svengali joint
venture and the Clewer Mine referred to in the circular are currently
producing gold and are expected to begin contributing profitably within the next
few months.
8. The company is year 2000 compliant.
