We have audited the annual financial statements and
group annual financial statements set out on pages 39 to 85 for the year ended
30 September 2003. These annual financial statements are the responsibility of
the company’s directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
annual financial statements based on our audit.
SCOPE
We conducted our audit in accordance with statements of South African Auditing
Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance that the annual financial statements are free of material
misstatement.
An audit includes:
-
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the annual financial statements;
-
assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management; and
-
evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
AUDIT OPINION
In our opinion, the annual financial statements fairly present, in all material
respects, the financial position of the company and the group at 30 September
2003, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then
ended in accordance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice and in the manner required by the Companies Act in South
Africa.
