Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker. Therefore, the Group determines and presents its operating segments based on the information that is internally provided to the Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker. Furthermore, a segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of the other segments.

4 The Group does not have different operating segments. The business is conducted in South Africa and is managed at a central head office with no branches. The Group is managed as one operating unit. All revenues from external customers originate in South Africa, or from operations in South Africa with branches in Africa. The Standard on Segment reporting will not be implemented as Imbalie Beauty has only one segment. Notes to the financial information 1.

Imbalie Beauty is a franchisor, brand owner, service provider and more recently an educator of beauty and wellness offerings and products. Imbalie Beauty has its own and franchise salon footprint ( salon footprint ) through the following franchise salon chains: Placecol Skin Care Clinics; Dream Nails Beauty Salons and Perfect 10

5 Nail and Body Studios. Turnover increased slightly on the prior period despite the fact that the Group discontinued to supply its Placecol brand to a large retail group in. The continued growth was assisted by the acquisition of the brands in Prana Products (Pty) Limited on 1 June 2015 and the successful launch of the Skinderm skin care brand exclusively into its Perfect 10 franchise footprint. Market conditions continued to be challenging for the Group during the interim period with less consumers visiting the Group s beauty salons, however total ticket value continued to increase during the interim period. The following are projects that the Imbalie Beauty Group embarked on, with costs incurred during the interim period which will not be incurred during the latter part of the financial year: 1. Successfully relocated its head office to Woodmead at the end of with costs savings envisaged to be achieved over the medium to long-term. A bond to the amount of R8.5 million was approved to acquire the building and deposits to the amount of R4.7 million were paid by the Group towards the building. It is expected that the building will be transferred and registered in the name of the Group on 10 December The building was purchased for R13.2 million, revalued for R13.5 million (by an independent valuator) with a replacement value of R17.0 million. 2. Outsourced its distribution centre, the Group still had duplicated costs in distribution during the interim period of R650k, which will not re-occur in the second half of the year. 3. Acquisition of the Scinderm skin care brand (a medical doctor skin care brand) and the relaunch of the brand exclusively into the Perfect 10 salon group under Skinderm, a retail skin care brand. The working capital and marketing requirements to launch the brand amounted to more than R2.0 million. This step was required to finally position the Perfect 10 salon brand to offer an exclusive, high quality, accessible skin care brand to its end consumers. 4. Launch of the Imbalie Training Academy which recently received both ITEC and SETA accreditations. The Group will going forward now benefit significantly from these accreditations. Collaboration agreements have been implemented with Eduloan to facilitate funding for students. 5. During the interim period the Group regrouped its sales force to be more effective and efficient during tough trading conditions. Cost incurred by the Group in its sales force and marketing team during the interim period which will not occur in the second half of the year amounted to R1.5 million. 6. The group invested into the opening of the two new Placecol Aesthetic Clinics to elevate the Placecol brand. The Group embarked on a collaboration agreement with a doctors group to assist the Group with the final implementation of all business protocols. Normalised earnings for the Group were as follows: Notes above 6 Months ended 31 August 2016 Loss before taxation, interest and depreciation and amortisation (6 820) Impairment of the Group s corporate salons as a result of an 4 000

The Group owned 26 corporate outlets at 31, which are included under inventories. Subsequent to the interim period four corporate salons were sold. Management will continue to focus on selling these outlets to potential owner-operator franchisees and currently have four potential transactions in the pipeline. FINANCIAL RESULTS Group revenue increased by 1.8% to R48.9 million (2015: R48.0 million) during the interim period due to the introduction of the Skinderm brand into the Perfect 10 franchise footprint and an increase in the re-sale of franchised salons in comparison to the prior period. Gross profit increased by 2.3% to R 27.0 million (2015: R26.4 million) and gross profit margins increased by 0.3% to 55.3% (2015: 55.0%), mainly due to the Group opening less franchise salons during the interim period, which attracts lower margins. It is the strategy of the Group over the short

7 to medium term to distribute all approved brands within salons to its franchisees in order to standardise a quality product offering to consumers. Operating expenses increased by 31.5% to R35.1 million (2015: R26.7 million) as a result of: R4 million was impaired against the value of Group s corporate salons included under inventories, as a result of an increase in the losses made by these salons during the interim period; the costs associated with the opening of the two new Aesthetic Clinics; duplicated costs incurred with the initial outsourcing of the Distribution Centre; marketing and launch costs of the Skinderm brand; and the opening of the Imbalie Training Academy. It remains a primary focus point of management to sell these corporate owned salons to new franchisees in order to strengthen the cash flow of the Group. The cost effectiveness of overhead structures will be closely monitored for the remainder of the financial year. The increase in intangible assets in the Summary Statement of Financial Position to R22.4 million relate to development of the Skinderm skin care range and the successful development of 34 modular courses in the Imbalie Beauty Training academy. Trade and other receivable increased during the interim period mainly as a result of deposits to the amount of R4.7 million paid towards the purchase of the new head office in Woodmead. PROSPECTS Imbalie Beauty remains optimistic about the future, following the upgrade of its skin care product ranges and its salon brands, with specific mention to the Perfect 10 salon brand. The Group will continue to focus on the continued opening of more successful beauty salons, with four secured new salons in the pipeline for January Imbalie Beauty remains steadfast on it journey to transform and empower women working in our Group, upgrading its existing product offering and to innovate, offer better marketing, pricing and support structures to its franchisees.
