CHAIRMAN S REPORT FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013 We are budgeting for a turnover of KSh 9 billion. Nicholas Ng ang a Chairman of Car & General The year to 30th September 2013 proved extremely challenging. The elections in March 2013 had a negative impact in the first six months of our financial year. The second half was better both in terms of turnover and profitability. Nevertheless, our motorcycle business was adversely effected in August and September 2013 with the introduction of VAT on unit sales and the temporary withdrawal of duty remission on CKD kits. However, our turnover grew 23% from Kshs 5.7 billion to Kshs 7.1 billion and our net profit after tax increased by 18% from Kshs 266 million to Kshs 315 million. As volume grows we expect profitability of our distribution business to improve. The highlights of the financial year were the establishment of our motorcycle CKD manufacturing plant ; recognition by Cummins as the top distributor in Africa for the second year running; the growth of our aftermarket business in Kenya including MRF tyres and lubricants; our sustained market share in our three wheeler business in Kenya and Tanzania; the entry into Doosan construction equipment and Kubota tractors which represent significant growth opportunities. We now offer a complete range of specialized engine related products through a solid distribution network and must develop dominant market shares in each segment. The biggest challenges throughout the year were the slowdown due to elections; insufficient production at our poultry operations and a decline in our Cummins business in the mining sector. Going forward, we foresee a stable year from a political perspective which should result in a positive economic environment. We also see greater competition in all key markets which will result in both margin and market pressure. Key to success will be higher efficiency levels in all areas of our business, maintaining market share in core products and successfully developing our new products. We are pleased to report that we have continued our corporate social responsibility programs namely the building of water pans in arid areas and our countrywide eye clinic program. We hope to intensify activities in 2014. I now comment more specifically on each subsidiary below: Car & General (Trading) Limited Kenya Our small engine business, in terms of power products, twowheelers and threewheelers, saw a marginal recovery in market size which led to an increase in our volumes. We launched a new motorcycle and three wheeler model both of which have been well received. We expect sales to increase in 2014. 7

CHAIRMAN S REPORT FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013 (continued) This year will be extremely challenging with the expected increase in stronger competition which may lead to a decline in margin. We must get closer to our markets and our customers throughout Kenya in order to increase market share and unit sales in order to ensure profitable growth. Detailed planning and disciplined implementation will be key to success. Our aftermarket strategy is solid and we see growth in our sales of parts, tyres and oils. C&G Engineering Kenya The Cummins business in Kenya and regionally is growing. Our challenge remains the entry of competition from all over the world and our ability to differentiate ourselves. Our market share is strong but there is room for further improvement. Our Ingersoll Rand business is heading in the right direction. We have gained a foothold in the construction industry through our Doosan business. We must emerge as a mainstream competitor in 2014. Head Office Kenya The operation continues to earn rent and provide services to all divisions. There remains significant room for improvement in our shared services operations particularly in the area of logistics and information technology. Car & General (Uganda) Limited Uganda The operation has now made a recovery. All our product lines are on the right track and we expect a positive year. We need to focus more on our Rwanda branch. Our entry into South Sudan has been impacted by political issues in the country. Car & General (Trading) Limited Tanzania The operation had a positive year with good growth across all sectors. We expect to see reasonable returns this year. Kibo Poultry Products Limited Tanzania This operation had a difficult year. We expect a return to profitability in the second half of the year. We remain confident that the poultry business offers an opportunity in Tanzania and would like to pursue this as a means of diversifying group activity. The Future Our portfolio of niche engine products is now complete and offers significant scope for further growth. This year will be critical to future success. We are budgeting for a turnover of Kshs 9 billion. This will require a growth in market share in all sectors. Our primary concern is to ensure that we stay ahead of competition in our key markets in all respects. The quality of competition is increasing. 8

CHAIRMAN S REPORT FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013 (continued) In spite of the significant investments being made, your Board recommends a dividend of Kshs 26.7 m for the financial year 201213 (Kshs 18.4 m for 201112). This represents Kshs 0.80 per share (2012 Kshs 0.55 per share). We are maintaining conservative dividends in view of the considerable resources required to achieve budgeted growth levels and to develop into a great organization. We are investing heavily in all our operations and, as far as possible, we would like to do so through internal resources. In addition, your Board recommends an increase in the authorized capital of the company to Kshs 210 million and make a capitalization issue (Bonus issue) of one new share for every five shares held. The capitalization will be subject to the approvals of the Capital Markets Authority, other regulatory authorities and the shareholders. The bonus shares do not qualify for the final dividend in respect of the year ended 30th September 2013. I must express my gratitude to my fellowdirectors and all members of staff of the company for their dedication and support. I look forward to continued support and to further progress of the Group. N Nganga CHAIRMAN 27 January 2014 9

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITIES The Kenyan Companies Act requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and of the company as at the end of the financial year and of the operating results of the group for that year. It also requires the directors to ensure that the parent company and its subsidiary companies keep proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the group and of the company. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group. The directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Kenyan Companies Act, and for such internal controls as directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The directors accept responsibility for the annual financial statements, which have been prepared using appropriate accounting policies supported by reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards and in the manner required by the Kenyan Companies Act. The directors are of the opinion that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the financial affairs of the group and of the company and of the group s operating results. The directors further accept responsibility for the maintenance of accounting records which may be relied upon in the preparation of financial statements, as well as adequate systems of internal financial control. Nothing has come to the attention of the directors to indicate that the company and its subsidiaries will not remain going concerns for at least the next twelve months from the date of this statement.

Directors Responsibility for the Financial Statements The directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Kenyan Companies Act and, for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we considered the internal controls relevant to the entity s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that were appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of entity s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES Statement of compliance The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Kenyan Companies Act. For purposes of the Kenyan Companies Act the balance sheet is equivalent to the statement of financial position while the profit and loss account is equivalent to the statement of profit or loss. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and Interpretations (IFRIC) (i) Relevant new standards and amendments to published standards effective for the year ended 30 September 2013 The following new and revised IFRSs were effective in the current year and had no material impact on the amounts reported in these financial statements. Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements The group has adopted the amendments to IAS 1 which became mandatory in the current year. Amendment to IAS 12 Income Taxes The amendment to IAS 12 relates to the treatment of deferred tax on investment properties carried at fair value. The value of the group s investments properties is expected to be recovered through use and the directors are of the opinion that the revised IAS 12 presumption can be rebutted. Thus its adoption has not had a significant impact on the group s financial statements. (ii) Relevant new standards and amendments to published standards effective for the year ended 30 September 2013 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements 1 January 2013 IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities 1 January 2013 IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement 1 January 2013 IAS 19 Employee Benefits (2011) Revised 1 January 2013 requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits, termination benefits and other changes.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and Interpretations (IFRIC) (continued) (iii) Impact of relevant new and amended standards and interpretations on the financial statements in issue but not yet effective IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements IFRS 10 requires a parent to present consolidated financial statements as those of a single economic entity, replacing the requirements previously contained in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC12 Consolidation Special Purpose Entities. The standard identifies the principles of control, determines how to identify whether an investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the investee, and sets out the principles for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The Standard introduces a single consolidation model for all entities based on control, irrespective of the nature of the investee (i.e. whether an entity is controlled through voting rights of investors or through other contractual arrangements as is common in special purpose entities ). Under IFRS 10, control is based on whether an investor has: power over the investee exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the returns. The directors anticipate that the adoption of this new standard will not materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities IFRS 12 requires the extensive disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. In highlevel terms, the required disclosures are grouped into the following broad categories: Significant judgements and assumptions such as how control, joint control, significant influence has been determined. Interests in subsidiaries including details of the structure of the group, risks associated with structured entities, changes in control, and so on. Interests in joint arrangements and associates the nature, extent and financial effects of interests in joint arrangements and associates (including names, details and summarised financial information). Interests in unconsolidated structured entities information to allow an understanding of the nature and extent of interests in unconsolidated structured entities and to evaluate the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with its interests in unconsolidated structured entities. 24

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and Interpretations (IFRIC) (continued) (iii) Impact of relevant new and amended standards and interpretations on the financial statements in issue but not yet effective (continued) IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (continued) IFRS 12 lists specific examples and additional disclosures which further expand upon each of these disclosure objectives, and includes other guidance on the extensive disclosures required. The directors anticipate that IFRS 12 will be adopted in the group s financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 October 2013 and that the application of the new standard would result in more extensive disclosures in the financial statements. IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement IFRS 13 replaces the guidance on fair value measurement in existing IFRS accounting literature with a single standard. The IFRS is the result of joint efforts by the IASB and FASB to develop a converged fair value framework. The IFRS defines fair value, provides guidance on how to determine fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. However, IFRS 13 does not change the requirements regarding which items should be measured or disclosed at fair value. IFRS 13 applies when another IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements (and measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements). With some exceptions, the standard requires entities to classify these measurements into a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of the inputs: Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; Level 3 unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The scope of IFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and nonfinancial instrument items for which other IFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the threelevel fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope. The directors anticipate that the application of the new Standard may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the financial statements, however, the group has yet to assess IFRS 13 s full impact and intends to adopt the standard no later than the accounting period beginning on or after 1 October 2013. 25

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and Interpretations (IFRIC) (continued) (iii) Impact of relevant new and amended standards and interpretations on the financial statements in issue but not yet effective (continued) IAS 19 Employee Benefits (2011) An amended version of IAS 19 Employee Benefits has introduced revised requirements regarding pensions and other postretirement benefits, termination benefits and other changes. The key amendments include: Requiring the recognition of changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) including immediate recognition of defined benefit cost, disaggregation of defined benefit cost into components, recognition of remeasurements in other comprehensive income, plan amendments, curtailments and settlements (eliminating the corridor approach permitted by the existing IAS 19) Introducing enhanced disclosures about defined benefit plans Modifying accounting for termination benefits, including distinguishing benefits provided in exchange for service and benefits provided in exchange for the termination of employment and affecting the recognition and measurement of termination benefits Clarifying various miscellaneous issues, including the classification of employee benefits, current estimates of mortality rates, tax and administration costs and risksharing and conditional indexation features Incorporating other matters submitted to the IFRS Interpretations Committee. The amendments to IAS 19 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and require retrospective application with certain exceptions. The directors anticipate that the amendments to IAS 19 will not have significant impact on the group s financial statement since the group does not operate defined benefits schemes. IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (2011) An amended version of IAS 27 which only deals with the requirements for separate financial statements, which have been carried over largely unamended from IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. Requirements for consolidated financial statements are now contained in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. The Standard requires that when an entity prepares separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entities are accounted for either at cost, or in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The Standard also deals with the recognition of dividends, certain group reorganisations and includes a number of disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The group will apply this amendment prospectively. The directors anticipate no material impact to the group s financial statements. 26

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (iii) Impact of relevant new and amended standards and interpretations on the financial statements in issue but not yet effective (continued) IAS 36 Impairment of Assets The amendments to IAS 36 require the disclosure of the recoverable amount of an asset when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed and a detailed disclosure of how the fair value less costs of disposal has been measured when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed. The amendments to IAS 36 are effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The directors anticipate no material impact to the group s financial statements.. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments This standard relates to the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and it is intended that it will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Standard will require financial assets to be classified into two categories: those measured at amortised cost and those measured at fair value. For financial liabilities, the standard will retain most of the IAS 39 requirements. Further phases of this standard are due to be issued in due course. The group has yet to assess the full impact of this standard which will be effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The group will also consider the impact of further phases of this Standard when completed by the IASB. There are no other new and amended standards and interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the group. (iv) Early adoption of standards The group did not earlyadopt any new or amended standards in 2013. 27

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost basis of accounting modified to include the revaluation of certain properties. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group. All intragroup transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Changes in the Group s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group s interests and the noncontrolling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any noncontrolling interests. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to revenue reserves) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity. Noncontrolling interests that represent ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the noncontrolling interests proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transactionbytransaction basis. Other types of noncontrolling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another IFRS. The consolidated financial statements incorporate the audited financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries as at 30 September 2013. The subsidiaries are set out in note 17 (a). 28
