Profitability. Empowerment. Positive Social Impact. ISIN Number: ZAE000015277 Share Code: BRT ISIN Number: ZAE000015285 Share Code: BRN Company Registration Number: 1995/010442/06 (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) ( Brimstone or the Company ) UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS Strong dividend income from investments Old Mutual and Nedbank transactions concluded Reduction of debt Downward revaluation of Grindrod, Life Healthcare and Tiger Brands Losses at subsidiary Lion of Africa Insurance Company COMMENTARY The company reported a loss for the period under review of R480.1 million compared to a profit of R309.7million in the comparative period. The significant contributor to this reduction in earnings was the downward revaluation of investments, the effect of which can be found in both fair value adjustments and equity accounted losses of associates and joint ventures. This was compounded by poor results from operating subsidiary Lion of Africa Insurance Company. Gross assets decreased to R7.6 billion, from R7.9 billion at 31 December 2014. Intrinsic Net Asset Value decreased to R4.1 billion from R4.9 billion at 31 December 2014. Underlying investments 1

Brimstone Portfolio SUBSIDIARIES Sea Harvest (58.44%) Catches during the first six months of the year were 8% lower than the prior period as a result of challenging fishing conditions which was partly offset by improved vessel utilisation across the fleet. Sales volumes grew by 6% on average, with particularly strong growth in export markets, where firm international demand for hake was supported on the supply side by the successful integration into the fleet of a new freezer vessel, the Atlantic Peace. Local sales volumes were under pressure due to a stagnant economic environment, pricing action and competitive activity. Revenue was 2% higher than last year, with volume growth and strong price increases being partly offset by weaker foreign exchange rates. Operating profit before interest increased by 35% to R89.3 million benefiting from price increases, efficient cost control and the lower fuel price. Lion of Africa Insurance Company (100%) Lion of Africa reported an underwriting loss at 30 June 2015 of R102.5 million. Net loss for the six months is reported as R105.2 million. While the results are disappointing the specific program of remedial action is expected to yield positive results. Operational reform has commenced in all key business areas under a turnaround team. Lion of Africa has secured a commercial arrangement with Zurich Insurance Company South Africa Limited in respect of Corporate and Local Authority business. Lion of Africa was further capitalized by Brimstone with R150 million during the period under review. House of Monatic (100%) Turnover increased to R104.2 million for the six months mainly as a result of increased sales from company owned branded retail stores and corporate business. Net profit increased to R2.8 million and employment levels increased to 840 permanent staff. House of Monatic is continuing to expand its retail presence with two further C 2 branded stores, including one franchised store, being opened. ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES Oceana (16.81%) Oceana s share price closed at R97.00 per share, down from R104.86 per share at 31 December 2014. Brimstone received dividends of R21.3 million from Oceana during the period under review and recorded R24.9 million in equity accounted earnings based on its reported six month earnings to 31 March 2015. Oceana announced that it would be acquiring 100% of the share capital of the processing operations of US-based Daybrook Fisheries Inc. and 25% of Westbank LLC, its related marine operations. Brimstone has signed irrevocable letters of commitment to follow its rights to 2.8 million shares at R75 per share in the proposed rights offer resulting from this transaction. Brimstone is pleased to report that subsequent to the period end the company has repaid all debt in the Oceana SPV structure. Brimstone owns 20.1 million Oceana shares of which 11.6 million are now debt free.

Aon Re Africa continued to successfully secure new business across all divisions which resulted in solid organic growth, especially outside of South Africa.

Afena Capital (28.79%) Afena Capital is an investment management firm that offers specialist equity and balanced portfolios serving the South African and Botswana institutional markets. Afena made a small contribution to earnings. Obsidian Health (25.07%) During the period under review Brimstone disposed of its investment in The Scientific Group realising a profit on disposal of R36.1 million. As part of the transaction, the medical division of The Scientific Group was transferred to a new company Obsidian Health in which Brimstone holds a 25.07% interest. 2

FURTHER INFORMATION 1. Taxation The tax charge is disproportionate to the loss before taxation because of the tax treatment of income and expenditure included in the result. Non-taxable items include dividends received, equity accounted gains or losses of associates, preference dividends included in finance costs and the non-recognition of a deferred tax asset for Lion of Africa losses. Fair value gains or losses and gain on disposal of associate are included at the CGT rate. 2.

Fair value measurements Fair value of the Company s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured on a fair value basis on a recurring basis. Some of the Company s financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each financial reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used). The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (but fair value disclosures are required) recognised in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values. 30 June 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets at FVTPL Derivative financial assets 197 442 197 442 Listed shares 2 665 980 2 665 980 Unlisted shares and loan 803 465 6 555 5¹ 810 025 Other investments 91 257 91 257 Available-for-sale financial assets Unlisted shares 25 265² 25 265 Unlisted shares 2 218¹ 2 218 Total 3 560 702 203 997 27 488 3 792 187 Financial liabilities at FVTPL Derivative financial liabilities 2 699 2 699 11

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). 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). 1. At cost or historical valuation. 2. Discounted cash flow method using a discount rate of 15% over 10 years. 12

Acquisition of subsidiary during the six months 30 June 2015 With effect from 1 May 2015, Brimstone acquired control over a 67% shareholding in Brimstone Mtha UK SPV Limited. Prior to the completion of the transaction with Old Mutual plc, Old Mutual plc controlled Brimstone Mtha UK SPV Limited and therefore, even though Brimstone owned 67% of the company, it was not permitted to consolidate the company. Old Mutual plc s control was removed on 1 May 2015 following Brimstone and its partner s fulfilment of their obligations in terms of the contract. Before the settlement of the obligations in terms of the contract, Brimstone accounted for its share of the investment as an option. On settlement, Brimstone converted its option asset into an investment in a subsidiary. No goodwill arose on conversion to an investment in a subsidiary. The non-controlling interest of 33% is measured at its proportionate share of the aquiree s identifiable net assets. 14
