Section 1 of 31

Important Notice and Basis of Preparation

Jump to section

This document has been prepared by the management of Kyalami Surface Company (Pty) Ltd (the “Company”) to support an application for equity and debt funding. It is issued on a private and confidential basis to a limited number of recipients and does not constitute an offer to the public as contemplated in the Companies Act, 2008.

The financial projections presented in this document are derived from a single integrated monthly financial model that drives the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, debt schedules, capital expenditure schedule and working capital schedule from a common set of operating assumptions. The model runs on a monthly basis over sixty months and is iterated to convergence; annual figures presented throughout are aggregated from the monthly engine rather than prepared independently. The balance sheet reconciles to nil in every projected period under every scenario presented.

Projections are forward-looking statements. They rest on assumptions about matters that are outside the control of the Company, including exchange rates, interest rates, electricity tariffs, wage settlements, consumer discretionary spending and the availability of skilled labour. Actual results will differ, and may differ materially.

A note on how the downside and stress cases are presented

This document does not smooth its adverse scenarios. The stress case shows the Company exhausting its committed funding in month 17 and never reaching profitability. The downside case shows shareholders’ funds fully impaired by Year 3 and a residual funding gap of R7.2m. These outcomes are stated as the model produces them.

We take the view that an investment committee is better served by seeing where the structure fails than by being shown three variants of success. The mitigating controls described in Sections 21 and 32 are designed around precisely these failure paths.

Recipients should form their own view and take their own professional advice. The Company and its advisers accept no liability for any loss arising from reliance on this document.
