KEY INFORMATION

The following information is extracted from, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of this document. Prospective investors should read the whole of this document, including the risk factors set out in Part II, and not rely solely on the following summarised information.

Dale is a public company investing in private equity business and has been operating since 9 October 2000.

Dale is the holding company of the structures reflected on page 17.

Dale’s investment strategy is focused on privately owned businesses with an Enterprise Value of US$10m-US$50m and strong growth or turnaround potential as well as on quoted small and mid-cap companies with value that can be unlocked through private ownership or through the application of private equity principals by an influential, but non-controlling, shareholder.

Dale adopts a flexible investment approach and will make Control Investments or take strategic minority positions depending on the circumstances.

Although Dale will consider investments in any sector in which its risk and return requirements are met, sectors which have been identified as particularly attractive, and in which the Company has a proven track record of delivering attractive returns, are the financial services, leisure and tourism, information technology and mining and resources sectors in South Africa.

As a result of the extensive networks of its Directors and its strong relationships with key strategic partners, Dale has access to a high-quality, pipeline of new investment opportunities in Southern Africa. In addition there are attractive opportunities to invest further in Dale’s existing portfolio of assets.

Dale’s Capital will be utilised to invest in these opportunities, with the goal of achieving superior rates of return and increasing the Company’s Net Asset Value.

Dale has historically paid shareholders a dividend out of distributable profit equivalent to approximately five per cent. of capital invested per annum. The Directors reserve the flexibility to continue to pay this dividend if it is considered to be the most effective manner in which to create value for Shareholders; however there is no guarantee or obligation to do so.

The Company does not have a target leverage ratio but will conduct regular reviews of its capital structure and will increase or reduce the leverage of its total portfolio in order to ensure that it maintains an optimal capital structure. The use of leverage in relation to specific investments is not required or prohibited and there are no limits on the amount of indebtedness that may be incurred in connection with an investment.

Following the Admission, it is the Company’s intention to establish a share trust for the benefit of the Directors and key managers of Dale. It is intended that the share trust will acquire new Ordinary Shares in the company up to a maximum of ten per cent. of the market capitalisation of the Company. Following the initial acquisition of new Ordinary Shares in Dale, it is envisaged that from time-to-time the Share Trust will acquire Ordinary Shares in the open market in order to ensure that it maintains an adequate inventory of Shares.

Dale is exposed is a number of risks including: the hire and retention of personnel, competition from organisations with greater capital resources, requirement for further funds, restrictions on conducting due diligence, changes in laws and falls in the share prices of listed companies in which Dale is invested. More details about risk factors are provided on pages 26-28.

PART I

INFORMATION ON DALE

1. INTRODUCTION

Dale is in the business of investing in privately owned businesses with an Enterprise Value of US$10m-US$50m and strong growth or turnaround potential as well as in quoted small and mid-cap companies with value that can be unlocked through private ownership or through the application of private equity principals by an influential, but non-controlling, shareholder.

Dale’s investment strategy is focused on the financial services, leisure and tourism, information technology and mining and resources sectors in Southern Africa.

Dale believes that, due to a mis-pricing of risk and often inadequate capital markets, many companies in Southern Africa are fundamentally undervalued relative to their peers in developed markets and hence offer attractive opportunities for private equity investors with in-depth knowledge of the region. In addition, the necessary intervention of the South African government in its economy through the BEE Act has created numerous attractive opportunities for private equity investors to partner with black entrepreneurs.

The Directors (Norman Noland, John Whatley, Charles Pettit and Quinton George) have extensive experience in Southern Africa and are experienced investors in the financial services, leisure and tourism, information technology and mining and resources sectors. In addition the Company is able to leverage unique and established strategic relationships in the region to ensure continued access to a high quality deal pipeline that is not available to other private equity investors.

One of these strategic relationships is with JSE-listed Sekunjalo, one of the most high-profile and established BEE investors in South Africa. Sekunjalo and Dale have signed a memorandum of understanding under the terms of which the Directors have chosen Sekunjalo as Dale’s BEE partner of choice in South Africa and Sekunjalo has committed to participate in certain transactions that require a BEE partner alongside Dale.

Dale plans to continue to leverage this knowledge, experience and extensive networks to make private equity investments with the goal of achieving superior rates of return and increasing the Company’s Net Asset Value.

The primary measure of Dale’s financial performance will be the change in its Net Asset Value resulting from operating activities during an accounting period. The Company has consistently increased its Net Asset Value for its last three financial years. In its last financial year ended 28 February 2007, Dale reported net assets of US$16.4m (US$10.8m). Figures shown in brackets are for the previous 12 month period. The earnings in years 2006 and 2007 showed a decrease because in 2007 there were significant non-recurring expenses in relation to corporate activity and the closing off of certain employee incentive schemes. Revenue declined in 2006 and 2007 due to the sale of business that were previously consolidated. However, the company has been profitable generating earnings per share of US$4,408 (US$1,696), US$ 12,922 (US$37) and US$ 18,801 (US$ Nil) respectively. Figures shown in brackets are dividends per share.

These figures are as reported in the Company’s statutory accounts under IFRS for the financial year ended 28 February 2007, 28 February 2006 and 28 February 2005 and are extracted without material adjustment from Part III of this document.

2. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENTS

Dale was incorporated in October 2000 and began trading as a co-investment vehicle for a small group of private investors. By mid 2005, the group had grown to the point where it became evident that there was sufficient demand to commercialise the business.

At this time, John Whatley was appointed as Chief Executive and the Directors confirmed that they would consider a further equity capital raising at a future date if the following objectives were met:

The establishment of an investment track-record that demonstrates the potential of Dale’s investment strategy;

The deepening of the Company’s key strategic partnerships in the BEE sector and the public equity markets; and

The development of a pipeline of new investment opportunities sufficient to warrant the raising of additional equity capital

These objectives were achieved by early 2007 and it was decided that Dale would raise further equity capital via a private placement of shares and a stock market listing. This decision was taken as:

The Directors believe that the Company will benefit from the disciplines inherent in a public market quotation, while Shareholders will benefit from the increased liquidity of their positions and from an observable market from which to value their investment in Dale;

The Company has developed relationships with UK- and European-based asset management companies who wish to both invest in Dale and to co-invest with Dale. For most of these companies it is difficult to partner with or invest in an unlisted business; and

The Company has developed relationships with South African asset managers who have asset swap capacity available for investment in Dale. These asset swaps may not be into unlisted vehicles.

Key events in Dale’s development

September 2003: Dale enters into strategic partnership with Queensgate, acquiring a 17 per cent. stake in the Cape Town-based Tourism and Leisure Group

February 2004: Acquired a controlling 48.2 per cent. interest in Synergy Computing (Pty) Ltd December 2004: Initial investment made in Sekunjalo (less than one per cent. of issued share

capital) June 2005: Investment in listed shares of Afri-can Marine Minerals Corporation (less than one per

cent. of issued share capital) April 2007: Exit from Synergy Computing (Pty) Ltd via a sale to Sekunjalo Informatics and

Telecommunications Africa, achieving a multiple of 9.1x money invested April 2007: Exit from Afri-can Marine Minerals Corporation via an open-market sell down,

achieving a multiple of 2.7x money invested May 2007: Dale converts Queensgate equity to secured loans. Multiple of 2.0x money invested

achieved. Loans currently being repaid. Further capital appreciation will be achieved through conversion of part of the loan to equity prior to the reverse listing of part of Queensgate into JSE listed Cyberhost, scheduled to take place by March 2008.

May 2007: ABSA Corporate and Business Bank acquires ten per cent. of Sekunjalo, strengthening the balance sheet and providing acquisition firepower for Dale’s strategic partner

October 2007: Acquisition of a ten per cent. stake in Trinity Asset Management, a leading specialist asset manager in South Africa (the acquisition agreement is available for public inspection - refer to section 18 of Part IV of this document). Dale also has an option to acquire an additional 25 per cent.of Trinity Asset Management and to establish a Mining and Resources Fund via its wholly owned company Trinity Asset Management (Mauritius) Limited.

3. SOUTH AFRICA AND MAURITIUS

Due to its size relative to the Southern African region, it is expected that the significant majority of Dale’s investment opportunities will be in South Africa. These opportunities have been created by the rapid and balanced development of South Africa over the last decade, which, when combined with a sound legal framework and fiscal policies, and the regulatory and local infrastructure of a developed market, has created a fertile environment for private equity. The country also demonstrates an advanced level of accountability, enforcing strong corporate governance, and maintaining transparency and efficiency in its capital markets. This in turn helps to facilitate accurate analysis of the quoted small and mid-cap companies that fall within Dale’s investment strategy.

While the initial majority of Dale’s new investment opportunities will be in South Africa, the Company already has a significant investment in Mauritius and the Directors have chosen to list the business in Mauritius. There are a number of reasons for this, including the following:

Attractive taxation regime – Mauritius has double-taxation treaties with 33 countries including Botswana, France, Germany, Italy, Lesotho, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland and the United Kingdom. The rate of corporate income tax in Mauritius is currently 15 per cent. on chargeable income and there are no withholding or capital gains taxes and no estate duty or inheritance tax payable on the inheritance of shares in a global business entity in Mauritius..

Robust but flexible regulatory regime - The Mauritian authorities have been extremely prudent in adopting the best international law and regulations, by learning from how other jurisdictions have developed. The regime, supervised by the FSC, provides an effective framework to conduct activities in the Financial Services sector.

Exemplary Governance - Mauritius is a worldwide reference for political stability and has recently been ranked as the top Sub-Saharan country by the Ibrahim Index of African Governance. The index measures 48 African countries on five criteria, namely: safety and security; rule of law; transparency and corruption; participation and human rights; and sustainable economic opportunity and human development

Guaranteed confidentiality - Mauritius offers guaranteed confidentiality to those engaged in legitimate business through express statutory provisions and customary laws.

Credible exchange with incentives for foreign investors - The Stock Exchange of Mauritius is the second most active Exchange in Africa (as rated in a study by the World Bank in February 2006) and operates a fully computerised trading system. Foreign investors benefit from key incentives including no withholding taxes on dividends and capital gains

The Directors are confident that the broad shareholder base of the Company and the interest shown in the Mauritian listing by European and South African investors will be sufficient to ensure liquidity in Dale’s Shares and thus overcome the primary risk in a quotation on a smaller exchange such as SEM. In addition, the Directors will ensure that efforts are made to promote Dale both in Mauritius and in other SADC countries. This is expected to further increase the liquidity of the Shares.

4. INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Overview

Dale’s private equity investment strategy is to:

build a portfolio focused on Southern Africa, in particular South Africa, and the key growth sectors that have been identified;

maintain the flexibility to invest whenever the market conditions and risk/reward profiles are most favourable. No target weightings by country are proposed. However, due to the size of its economy relative to the region, key strategic relationships held by the Company, and the Director’s significant expertise in making private equity investments in South Africa, it is expected that the majority of the Company’s investments will be made in businesses operating in South Africa;

Page 12: Dale Capital Partners Limiteddale-capital.com/PDF/Dale_Prospectus.pdf · 4 “GBL 1” an offshore company which is resident in Mauritius and is classified under the Mauritian Laws

12

target a range of transaction sizes, typically those with an Enterprise Value of US$10m – US$50m (however both larger and smaller transactions will be considered);

invest principally in expansion or late-stage development capital situations and management buy-outs and buy-ins;

back strong management teams and motivate them with equity participation in their companies.

Dale’s approach incorporates the strengths of traditional private equity investment including due diligence discipline, downside risk mitigation and hands-on involvement. These strengths are combined with the added advantages of an unlimited investment period, unique and established strategic relationships across the region, and the ability to use leverage and its Shares in acquisitions and for transaction structuring. Returns are further enhanced by leveraging the Director’s knowledge of the key growth sectors that have been identified, maintaining flexibility with regards to ownership levels and through active participation by Dale at the board level of companies in which it is invested.

Dale will have flexibility in how it pays for its investments, through the ability to issue its own equity and to utilise other forms of non-cash consideration. This allows shareholders in target companies to retain an interest in the Company’s portfolio (including their own acquired company) and thereby share in the value that may be created by enhancement of performance, and should also assuage concerns that exiting shareholders may be selling out at an undervalue. Where investee companies make acquisitions, they may also have flexibility to use their own equity as acquisition consideration.

The Company believes that, consistent with its strategy of investing for long term capital growth, it will typically hold investments for an average of around three to five years. Dale will, however, have no pre-defined constraints on the holding period for its investments, but will instead consider potential disinvestments on a case-by-case basis. In cases where realistic value-creation plans are likely to take significant time to implement, the Company will hold investments for a longer period.

In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, it is anticipated that Dale will have invested (or committed to invest) substantially all of its available Capital (see section 11 of this Part I) within six months from Admission. However, quality of opportunity is paramount. The Company also intends to utilise appropriate gearing to fund further investments.

Traditional Private Equity Investments

Dale expects to make Control Investments in listed and unlisted companies where investments are characterised by long holding periods and there is scope for the Company to implement strategic, balance sheet, operational and/or management initiatives that will drive growth, thereby enhancing profitability and optimising value for investors over the long term.

Quoted Private Equity Investments

In addition to traditional Control Investments, the Company believes that there is currently an opportunity to achieve significant returns through the acquisition of influential stakes in small and mid-cap quoted companies in South Africa.

The Company believes that many small and mid-cap quoted companies in South Africa: (1) suffer from a lack of strategic focus and/or directions; (2) are typically relatively under-researched; and (3) frequently suffer from relatively limited liquidity in their shares, in some cases exacerbated by shareholders with significant holdings. These significant shareholders are often unable to sell their stakes without accepting a material reduction in valuation due to the lack of investor demand and limited liquidity.

As a result of these factors, Dale considers that it will be able to identify a number of such opportunities where it can acquire influential, but not necessarily controlling, stakes in quoted target companies at attractive valuations. Dale will then seek to use this influence to significantly improve the operating performance of these companies by applying private equity techniques. This will include strengthening management teams and incentivising them to pursue clear value creation strategies.

Temporary Investments

Pending investment in traditional or quoted private equity investments, the Company’s Capital will be temporarily invested by the Directors in liquid investments and managed by an investment manager or held on deposit with commercial banks. Temporary investments may include government securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, floating rate notes, short-and medium-term obligations, repurchase agreements, supranational bonds, asset-backed securities and other investment grade securities.

Dale targets investments that it expects to yield a superior risk-adjusted rate of return. These opportunities are identified by focusing on companies with some or all of the following characteristics:

an experienced management team; a strong position in an established or niche market, or an early position in a rapidly growing market; a stable or predictable level of cash flow and earnings; a distinctive product or a recognised brand name providing a competitive advantage; an attractive entry valuation; and the ability to make a significant capital gain on invested capital

Investment Origination

The Directors believe that the quality of Dale’s expected deal flow will provide it with a competitive advantage. In a large proportion of the transactions completed by Dale, there has either been no competition or the Company has had an “inside track” as a result of strategic partnerships, relationships with a portfolio company’s management team or knowledge of the industry. This is largely a result of the Directors’ extensive experience in the region and the network of contacts they have established. Deal sources include vendors, entrepreneurs, financial institutions, other fund managers and professional advisers (such as investment bankers, accountants and lawyers).

In addition, Dale is actively researching the small and mid-cap in South Africa and has identified a number of quoted private equity opportunities. In this regard, the Company also expects to achieve opportunities for deal flow through:

taking advantage of buyout activity in the markets (e.g. purchasing the non-core quoted holdings of a company following the buyout of that company);

direct approaches to or from vendor block shareholders in potential investee companies; and the Director’s contacts with investment banks, lawyers, accountants and financial advisers.

Due Diligence and the Investment Recommendation

Once an investment opportunity is identified, and the Directors determine that it is worth serious consideration, the due diligence process commences. Due diligence will typically be undertaken by external advisers with expertise in relevant commercial, accounting, tax, legal, environmental and insurance matters.

The investment committee will review the due diligence reports and determine the nature of the recommendation that will be made to the Directors in relation to the investment opportunity under consideration. The investment committee has full authority and discretion over investment recommendations. The investment committee, in reviewing the preliminary and final investment recommendations, monitors due diligence practices to ensure that standards are consistently applied to all investments.

Building a Successful Business

A central part of Dale’s investment philosophy is to take a close and supportive interest in companies in which it is invested. Working closely with each company’s management, the Directors will seek to add value and generate substantial capital gain through activities such as:

optimising the portfolio company’s capital structure; making introductions to regional or global strategic partners or acquirers; identifying and assisting with synergistic mergers or acquisitions; and advising on corporate strategy, business development and systems.

Once an investment is made in a portfolio company, the Directors will work closely with the portfolio company’s management to:

monitor its performance with the objective of driving growth, enhancing profitability and optimising value for investors over the long term;

develop operating budgets that support capital spending and acquisitions that facilitate growth; and establish clear monitoring guidelines to actively review and monitor financial and operating

performance and strategic priorities.

The Directors will seek to influence business strategy and decision-making through the exercise of shareholders’ rights, including the right to appoint board members.

Exiting Investments

The Directors have substantial expertise in exiting investments in portfolio companies. An in-depth analysis of the exit options of a portfolio company, frequently including discussions with brokers and investment bankers, is a fundamental part of Dale’s investment evaluation process. Exits are expected to be typically by way of secondary buy-out, trade sale, market sell-down or public flotation. The Directors will closely monitor the progress of companies in which Dale is invested and review the exit plan.

Dale’s ability to successfully exit its prior investments is attributable to the Director’s knowledge of the key growth sectors that have been identified, detailed exit analysis at the time of investment as well as evaluation of exit opportunities during the investment period. When exiting investments, Dale’s objective is to optimise returns for investors and, in the case of publicly traded portfolio companies, to minimise the impact of an exit on the company’s share price.

Dale’s Investment Policies and Procedures

Dale’s investment policies and procedures will be applicable to investments that are made with share capital or with cash generated by investments and borrowings.

Eligible Investments

Dale may make investments in common equity securities, preferred securities, limited partner interests, derivative instruments, debt securities and loans, money market securities, cash, cash equivalents, money market instruments, government securities and any other type of security, loan or financial instrument, provided that the investments otherwise comply with the Company’s investment policies and procedures.

Investment Recommendations by the Investment Committee

All of Dale’s investments must be reviewed and approved by the investment committee except that, with respect to temporary investments only, the Directors may appoint a third party investment manager to make such temporary investments or hold these funds on deposit with commercial banks.

Page 15: Dale Capital Partners Limiteddale-capital.com/PDF/Dale_Prospectus.pdf · 4 “GBL 1” an offshore company which is resident in Mauritius and is classified under the Mauritian Laws

15

Cash Management Activities

Pending investment in private equity investments, Dale’s Capital should be temporarily invested in liquid investments or managed by a third party investment manager or held on deposit with commercial banks. Temporary investments could include money-market funds, government securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, floating rate notes, short-and medium-term obligations, repurchase agreements, supranational bonds, asset-backed securities and other investment grade securities.

Use of Leverage

The use of leverage (including senior, mezzanine and other subordinated debt as well as non-equity instruments such as preference shares) is not required or prohibited and there are no limits on the amount of indebtedness that may be incurred in connection with an investment. The Directors will consider the use of leverage on a case-by-case basis and will consider such factors as: the stage of development of the company under investment consideration, its cash flows and its capital expenditure requirements.

The Company does not have a target leverage ratio but will conduct regular reviews of its own capital structure and will increase or reduce the leverage of its total portfolio in order to ensure that it maintains an optimal capital structure.

Risk Management Activities

It is recognised that Dale’s investments may be subject to a number of market risks, including risks relating to changes in the value of publicly traded securities, movements in prevailing interest rates and changes in currency exchange rates that may impact the returns on the Company’s investments.

The Directors may take measures to mitigate such risks through the use of hedging arrangements, derivative instruments and other risk management strategies as deemed necessary or appropriate.

Exiting of Investments

An in-depth analysis of the exit options of a portfolio company is a fundamental part of Dale’s investment evaluation process and the Directors closely monitor the progress of companies in which Dale is invested and review the exit plan

Dale’s investment policies and procedures do not have any requirements for investments to be exitedwithin a fixed period of time nor any specific provisions governing the manner in which investments should be exited. However exits are expected to be typically by way of secondary buy-out, trade sale, market sell-down or public flotation.

Valuations

The investments that Dale will carry as assets in its consolidated financial statements are expected to comprise private equity investments in listed and unlisted companies. Depending on the circumstances, these investments will either have a readily available market, in which case the investments will be valued using the quoted bid prices, or will be unlisted, in which case the investments will be valued at their fair value by using valuation techniques as described below. When market prices are used, they will not take into account various factors which may affect the value that we would actually be able to realise in the future, such as the possible illiquidity associated with a large ownership position, subsequent illiquidity in a market for a company’s securities, future market price volatility or the potential for a future loss in market value based on poor industry conditions or the market’s view of overall company and management performance.

When fair value pricing is used, it is expected that the value attributed to an equity investment will be based on the Enterprise Value at which the portfolio company could be sold in an orderly disposition over a reasonable period of time between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. When determining the Enterprise Value of a portfolio company, the Company expects to use any one or a

Page 16: Dale Capital Partners Limiteddale-capital.com/PDF/Dale_Prospectus.pdf · 4 “GBL 1” an offshore company which is resident in Mauritius and is classified under the Mauritian Laws

16

combination of the following methodologies: (a) a market multiple approach that uses a specific financial measure (such as EBITDA, EBITA, net income, book value or net asset value) that is believed to be customary in the relevant industry, (b) the price of recent investment, or offers for investment, for the portfolio company’s securities (including the transaction pursuant to which the investment was made), (c) comparable recent arms’ length transactions between knowledgeable parties (be they consummated or proposed), (d) discounted cashflow analysis and (e) other approaches (including industry-specific methodologies) that may be determined at the time to be appropriate to a specific situation (these methodologies will be clearly disclosed to investors if used). Consideration will also be given to such factors as historical and projected financial data for the portfolio company, the size and scope of the portfolio company’s operations, the portfolio company’s strengths and weaknesses, expectations relating to investors’ receptivity to an offering of the portfolio company’s securities, the size of Dale’s holding in the portfolio company and any control associated therewith, applicable restrictions on transfer, industry information and assumptions, general economic and market conditions and other factors deemed relevant. Where Dale’s investment comprises solely or substantially non-equity instruments (such as debt or mezzanine debt instruments), the fair value will derive mainly from the expected cash flows and associated risk attaching to the instruments, and methodologies such as discounted cash flow analysis (applied to the cashflow on the relevant investment, for example any interest on debt, rather than operating cashflows of any underlying portfolio company) are likely to be more appropriate. In the case of mezzanine debt investments where, for example, equity warrants are included, the components (in the case of mezzanine debt, the debt and the warrants) should be valued separately.

If the debt instrument has an equity component, the equity component will be valued separately by applying the main methods of valuing equity instruments (i.e. multiples, recent investment, and so on).

For other non-equity instruments or other asset classes (for example preference shares), each instrument will be valued on a case-by-case basis using judgment as to the most appropriate valuation technique including using appropriate third party valuations.

Amendments

The Directors will review the investment policies and procedures as outlined in this document on a regular basis and, if necessary, propose changes when they believe that those changes would further assist in building a strong investment base and creating long-term value for Shareholders. Any material amendment or variation to these investment policies and procedures will require the approval by way of a special resolution of Shareholders in general meeting. The amended policies and procedures will then be made available to Shareholders on request.

5. STRATEGIC PARTNERS

Sekunjalo Investment Group – Dale has formed a strategic relationship with Sekunjalo, a JSE-listed investment holding company and one of South Africa’s most successful and high profile BEE groups. Dale has a significant minority shareholding in Sekunjalo (as at 10 December 2007, being the last practical date prior to publication of this document, Dale held 5.21 per cent. of the issued share capital of Sekunjalo) and in addition Norman Noland serves as the non-executive Deputy Chairman of Sekunjalo. Sekunjalo and Dale have signed a memorandum of understanding under the terms of which the Directors have chosen Sekunjalo as Dale’s BEE partner of choice in South Africa and Sekunjalo has committed to participate in certain transactions that require a BEE partner alongside Dale. This relationship allows Dale to access high quality assets not available to other private equity investors.

Trinity Asset Management - The Directors also believe that the Company will be advantaged by having a strategic relationship with an investment house which is experienced in investing in public companies with a view to implementing strategic, operational or management initiatives. Dale has therefore chosen to acquire a ten per cent. stake in Trinity Asset Management (with an option to acquire a further 25 per cent. stake), one of South Africa’s leading specialist asset managers, with c.US$150m under management. It is envisaged that Dale and Trinity will co-invest on the majority of public market transactions, with Dale benefiting from the proven public market expertise of the Trinity team and in turn contributing its expertise in private equity techniques to the management of the listed company.

7. PORTFOLIO

Dale’s portfolio had a Net Asset Value of US$ 11.7m (as at 31 October 2007). Appendix 1 provides details of the weighting of this portfolio by country.

Including the net proceeds of an equity capital raising of US$19.8m (completed on 1 December 2007) the Net Asset Value of Dale equates to approximately US$5.3 per share. This Net Asset Value per share was calculated as the sum of US$11.7 million and US$19.8m divided by the 5,940,000 Shares in issue.

Sekunjalo Investments (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa on 20 May 1996)

Trinity endeavours to assist its clients in creating superior and sustainable financial wealth through investment in niche sectors of the economy – both in South Africa and abroad.

Queensgate Leisure Holdings (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa on 28 March 2003)

Queensgate is a rapidly growing leisure and tourism group which controls a number of hotels and leisure properties, primarily in Cape Town. The group’s flagship operation is the five star Radisson Hotel in the Cape Town Waterfront area, situated opposite the new soccer stadium, built for the 2010 World Cup.

Other key properties owned by Queensgate include the Park Inn on Greenmarket Square (the group owns 100 per cent. of the business and 32 per cent. of the property), the Cape Town Hollow in Gardens, The Hollow on the Square in Cape Town Central and the Avenue Hotel in Fish Hoek.

In total Queensgate has around 400 rooms and occupancy in bigger venues like the Radisson, Greenmarket Square and Hollow on the Square have occupancies of 85 per cent., 75 per cent. and 85 per cent. respectively.

Queensgate is also invested in the restaurant industry. These interests were reversed into JSE-listed Cyberhost in late 2007 and are now already worth US$23 million (the share price has increased from 1c to 24c per share (as at 14 December 2007) since the company was unsuspended by the JSE in January 2007).

In addition Queensgate also holds interests in the BMW Pavilion and the Stellenbosch Retreat – a 130 room wellness and conference centre.

Last month Cyberhost confirmed takeover negotiations with Queensgate. By reversing all of its interests into this listed vehicle, Queensgate now has a chance to consolidate the fragmented boutique hotel market in South Africa, as well as capitalise on related leisure opportunities.

Dale has been involved with Queensgate since 2002, providing debt and equity financing to assist the group in its growth. Dale has since converted its equity into secured loans, although it retains an ongoing equity interest in Cyberhost. These loans and equity represent approximately 17 per cent. of the Queensgate capital base and Dale therefore continues to have a significant level of influence with Queensgate and remains involved in strategic decision-making. In addition Dale expects to partner with Queensgate on future investment opportunities in the leisure and tourism sector and, through its investee companies, continues to advise Queensgate on corporate finance-related matters and has been mandated to arrange additional funding for the company.

The Company also expects to utilise gearing, its own equity and other forms of non-cash consideration to fund further investments.

12. DIVIDEND POLICY

It is the intention of the Directors to achieve shareholder capital growth. In addition, the Company has historically paid shareholders a dividend out of distributable profit equivalent to approximately five per cent. of capital invested per annum. The Directors reserve the flexibility to continue to pay this dividend if it is considered to be the most effective manner in which to create value for Shareholders; however there is no guarantee or obligation to do so.

It is to be noted that the dividends may be paid not only by cash considerations but also in terms of shares and other property such as assets of investee companies. Any amount paid up in advance of calls on any share may carry interest but shall not entitle the holder of the share to participate in a dividend which shall be declared subsequently.

The power undertaken to forfeit unclaimed dividends shall not be exercised for a period less than five years from the date of declaration of the dividend.

13. SHARE OPTIONS

The Company has established the Share Option Plan in order to assist in the retention and motivation of its Directors and employees. Further details of the Share Option Plan are set out in paragraph 9 of Part IV of this document.

14. ADMISSION AND DEALINGS

Application has been made to the Stock Exchange of Mauritius for the entire issued share capital of the Company to be admitted to trading on the Official Market. It is expected that Admission will be effective and that dealings in the Ordinary Shares will commence on 28 December 2007. On the day of Admission Shareholders have committed to make available in the market 300,000 Shares for trading at US$5 per Share.

15. FURTHER INFORMATION

The attention of prospective investors is drawn to the additional information contained in Parts II to IV (inclusive) of this document. In particular, prospective investors are advised to consider carefully Part II of this document, entitled “Risk Factors”.

PART II

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully consider the specific risk factors set out below in addition to the other information contained in this document before investing in the Ordinary Shares. In addition to the other information contained in this document, the Directors consider the following risks to be the most significant for potential investors in the Company. These risks should be considered carefully in evaluating whether to make an investment in the Company, but the risks listed do not necessarily comprise all those associated with an investment in the Company and are not set out in any particular order of priority.

If any of the following risks actually occurs, Dale’s business, financial condition, capital resources, results or future operations could be materially adversely affected. In such a case, the price of the Ordinary Shares could decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Directors or not considered by the Directors currently to be material may also have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and the information set out below does not purport to be an exhaustive summary of the risks affecting the Company.

Hire and retention of personnel

The future success of the Company depends to a significant extent on its ability to hire and retain key development, operational and financial personnel. Although the Company has entered into contracts with its current key personnel, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to retain and attract qualified personnel for the development of the Company’s business.

Competition from organisations with greater capital

The Company may face competition from organisations which have greater capital resources. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in such a marketplace.

Requirement for further funds

It is possible that the Company may need to raise further funds in the future either to complete a proposed acquisition or investment or to raise further working or development capital for such an acquisition or investment. There is no guarantee that the then prevailing market conditions will allow for such a fundraising or that new investors will be prepared to subscribe for Ordinary Shares at the same price as existing investors subscribed or higher. Although the Company may choose to issue Ordinary Shares to satisfy all or part of any consideration payable on an acquisition, vendors of suitable companies or businesses may not be prepared to accept shares traded on SEM or may not be prepared to accept Ordinary Shares at the quoted market price.

Restrictions on conducting due diligence

Dale intends to conduct due diligence before making its investments. The objective of the due diligence process will be to identify material issues which might impact an investment decision. Dale also intends to use information provided by the due diligence process as the basis for formulating effective investment strategies for investee companies.

Some quoted companies may be unwilling or unable to share confidential information (particularly price sensitive information) with Dale. Such restrictions are more likely to apply if Dale is seeking only to acquire a significant stake in a particular quoted company, as opposed to making a full bid for that company. In such circumstances, Dale may be forced to rely on public sources of information about those companies, which may not always give a full picture about those companies’ affairs.

Dale may experience fluctuations in operating results

Dale may experience fluctuations in operating results due to a number of factors, including changes in the values of investments, which could be due to changes in values of portfolio companies, changes in the amount of distributions, dividends or interest paid in respect of investments, changes in operating

Page 28: Dale Capital Partners Limiteddale-capital.com/PDF/Dale_Prospectus.pdf · 4 “GBL 1” an offshore company which is resident in Mauritius and is classified under the Mauritian Laws

28

expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realised and unrealised gains or losses, the degree to which the Company encounters competition, the degree of indebtedness incurred in any particular financial period and general economic and market conditions. Such variability may lead to volatility in the trading price of Shares and cause results for a particular financial period not to be indicative of Dale’s performance in a future period.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, investments, Net Asset Value and results of operations.

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations of the British Virgin Islands. In particular, Dale will be required to comply with certain regulatory requirements that are applicable to a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Additional laws may apply to the portfolio companies in which Dale makes investments. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, investments and results of operations.

Dale’s private equity investments are subject to a number of significant risks and you could lose all or part of your investment

Private equity investments involve a number of significant risks, including the following:

companies in which private equity investments are made are more likely to depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of persons and, as a result, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of those persons could have a material adverse impact on their business and prospects and the investment made;

companies in which private equity investments of an expansion capital nature are made generally have less predictable operating results, may from time to time be parties to litigation, may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence and may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or to maintain their competitive position;

companies in which private equity investments are made may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their securities, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of their equity securities or any collateral or guarantees provided with respect to their debt securities;

companies in which private equity investments are made may be highly leveraged and subject to significant debt service obligations, stringent operating and financial covenants and risks of default under financing and other contractual arrangements, which could have material adverse consequences for the Company and the value of Dale’s investment in such company if a default were to occur;

generally only limited public information exists about companies in which private equity investments are made and such companies are often not subject to external regulation or disclosure requirements, therefore investors in those companies generally must rely on the ability of the equity sponsor to obtain adequate information for the purposes of evaluating potential returns and making a fully informed investment decision; and

some of Dale’s private equity investments may be in publicly listed companies whose securities are illiquid and the prices of which are volatile which may reduce the Company’s flexibility to exit such investments or the price achieved on exit.

The Directors cannot assure you that the values of investments that are reported from time to time will in fact be realised

Certain of Dale’s investments will be in companies for which market quotations are not readily available. The Directors will make good faith determinations as to the fair value of these investments on a semi-annual basis. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith and, in many cases; fair value is best expressed as a range of fair values from which a single estimate may be derived. The types of factors that may be considered when applying fair value pricing to an investment in a particular company include the historical and projected financial data for the portfolio company, valuations given to comparable companies, the size and scope of the portfolio company’s operations, the strengths and weaknesses of the portfolio company, expectations relating to investors’ receptivity to an offering of the portfolio company’s securities, the size of Dale’s holding in the portfolio company and any control

Page 29: Dale Capital Partners Limiteddale-capital.com/PDF/Dale_Prospectus.pdf · 4 “GBL 1” an offshore company which is resident in Mauritius and is classified under the Mauritian Laws

29

associated therewith, information with respect to transactions or offers for the portfolio company’s securities (including the transaction pursuant to which the investment was made and the period of time that has elapsed from the date of the investment to the valuation date), applicable restrictions on transfer, industry information and assumptions, general economic and market conditions, the nature and realisable value of any collateral or credit support and other relevant factors. Fair values may be established using a market multiple approach that is based on a specific financial measure (such as EBITDA, EBITA, cash flow, net income, revenues or net asset value) or, in some cases, a cost basis or a discounted cash flow or liquidation analysis. Because valuations, and in particular valuations of investments for which market quotations are not readily available, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates, determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have resulted if a ready market had existed. Even if market quotations are available for Dale’s investments, such quotations may not reflect the value that would actually be realised because of various factors, including the possible illiquidity associated with a large ownership position, subsequent illiquidity in the market for the portfolio company’s securities, future market price volatility or the potential for a future loss in market value based on poor industry conditions or the market’s view of overall company and management performance. The Company’s Net Asset Value could be adversely affected if the values of investments that are recorded are materially higher than the values that are ultimately realised upon the disposal of the investments and changes in values attributed to investments from one quarter to another may result in volatility in the Net Asset Value and results of operations that are reported from period to period. The Directors cannot assure you that the investment values that are recorded from time to time, particularly in respect of unlisted companies, will ultimately be realised.

Dale’s private equity and other investments are likely to be illiquid

A substantial proportion of Dale’s investments in private companies and in public listed companies whose securities are illiquid may require a long-term commitment of capital. Such investments may also be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale. The illiquidity of these investments may make it difficult to sell investments if the need arises or if the Directors determine that such sale would be in the best interests of Shareholders. In addition, if Dale were to be required to liquidate all or a portion of an investment quickly, it may realise significantly less than the value at which the investment was previously recorded, which would result in a decrease in the Company’s Net Asset Value.

Market price of Ordinary Shares

Prospective investors should be aware that the value of an investment in Dale may go down as well as up and investors may not realise the value of their initial investments. The market price of the Ordinary Shares, as well as being affected by the NAV, also takes into account prevailing interest rates, supply and demand for the Ordinary Shares, market conditions and general investor sentiment. As such, the market value of an Ordinary Share may vary considerably from the NAV per Share. Owing to the presence of such a discount or premium to NAV per Share, and the difference between the Ordinary Share price and the price at which Ordinary Shares can be sold, the realisable value of the Ordinary Shares may not fully reflect the NAV per Share. The Company does not have a formal discount management policy and there can be no certainty that the Company will take steps to reduce any discount or that any such steps taken will be successful.

General economic conditions

Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation and industrial disruption.

Several of the sectors of focus are cyclical in nature. As a result, trading conditions, asset valuations and access to capital may be subject to periodic volatility.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below:

(a) Basis of presentation

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which includes International Accounting Standards (IAS) and approved SIC Interpretation issued by IASB. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards requires the directors to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The Company’s financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, except as modified by fair values of financial instruments carried on the Balance Sheet date.

(b) Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the subsidiaries, Sekunjalo Asset Management (Proprietary) Limited, Gemini Moon Trading 137 (Proprietary) Limited and its step subsidiaries Market Demand Trading 190 (Proprietary) Limited, National Pride Trading 216 (Proprietary) Limited and Great Force Investments 31 (Proprietary) Limited have been prepared in accordance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. In the opinion of the directors, these are not significantly different from the International Financial Reporting Standards.

(c) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements as at 28 February 2007 include the Company, its subsidiaries, Gemini Moon Trading 137 (Proprietary) Limited and its step subsidiaries Market Demand Trading 190 (Proprietary) Limited, National Pride Trading 216 (Proprietary) Limited and Great Force Investments 31 (Proprietary) Limited; Sekunjalo Asset Management (Proprietary) Limited, Dale Private Equity Holdings Limited, Dale Leisure International Limited and its step subsidiary Dale Leisure Property Holdings (Pty) Limited. The results of subsidiaries and the step subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Income Statement from the dates of acquisition and up to date of they ceased to be a subsidiary of the company. Intra-group interests and charges are eliminated on consolidation and all interests and charges relate to external transactions only.

(d) Available for sale investments

The Company has classified the investments, other than investments in subsidiary, associate and trading investments, as available for sale. Listed investments are stated at the market price of the securities. Unlisted investments for which a reliable fair value measurement is not available is recorded at cost less any impairment. Any permanent diminution in value is recognised by reducing the cost to the realisable value and charging the difference to the Income Statement. On disposal of an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to the Income Statement.

(e) Investment in subsidiary

Subsidiary undertakings are those entities in which the Company has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has the power to exercise control over the operations.

Investment in subsidiary is shown at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the investment is assessed. Where the carrying amount is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount and the difference is charged to the Income Statement. On disposal of the investment, the

Page 37: Dale Capital Partners Limiteddale-capital.com/PDF/Dale_Prospectus.pdf · 4 “GBL 1” an offshore company which is resident in Mauritius and is classified under the Mauritian Laws

37

difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to the Income Statement.

(f) Investment in associated companies

Investment in associated companies is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is initially recognised at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the company’s share of the profit or loss of the associate after the date of acquisition. Distributions received from the investee company reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

(g) Investment classified as held-for-sale

Investments are classified as held-for-sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition.

Investments classified as held-for-sale are measured at the lower of the asset’s previous carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.

(h) Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency transactions are translated into US Dollar at the exchange rate ruling on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, which are denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into US Dollar at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

Realised gains and losses on exchange are dealt with in the Income Statement. Unrealised gains and losses on exchange are dealt with in the Equity.

(i) Financial instruments

Financial instruments carried on the Balance Sheet include investment in subsidiary, available for sale investment, held for sale investments, receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and accruals. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item.

(j) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at their nominal value.

(k) Loan receivables and payables

Loan receivables and payables are stated at cost since they do not have any fixed terms of repayment.

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks.

(m) Plant and equipment

Depreciation is calculated on the straight line method to write off the cost of each asset, or the revalued amounts, to their residual values over their estimated useful lives. The depreciation rates applicable to each asset are as follows:

Computer equipment 33.33%Equipment 20%Furniture and Fittings 10%

Page 38: Dale Capital Partners Limiteddale-capital.com/PDF/Dale_Prospectus.pdf · 4 “GBL 1” an offshore company which is resident in Mauritius and is classified under the Mauritian Laws

38

(n) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of investment in subsidiary and the net assets. It is stated at cost less impairment.

(o) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised on the following basis:

Consultancy and Commission income is accounted for on the invoiced values. Interest income as it accrues unless collectibility is in doubt. Dividend income on a receipt basis.

(p) Related parties

Related parties are individuals and companies where the individuals or companies have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.

(q) Taxation

Current taxation comprises taxation payable or recoverable, calculated on the basis of the expected taxable profit for the year using the taxation rates enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustments of tax payable for previous years.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. Currently enacted tax rates are used to determine deferred tax.

A provision of USD 6,720 has been made in respect of the Social Responsibility Fund by the Company.

14. Taxation

The Company was a tax incentive company in Mauritius and did qualify for benefits under tax treaties concluded by Mauritius. Under the applicable laws of Mauritius, a Mauritian company incorporated as a Global Business Company Category 1 is liable to income tax on its chargeable income at a fixed rate of 15%. The Company is, however, entitled to a tax credit equivalent to the higher of actual tax suffered and 80% of Mauritian tax payable in respect of its foreign source income, thus reducing its maximum effective tax rate to 3%.

No Mauritian capital gain tax is payable on profits from sale of securities and any dividend and redemption proceeds paid by the Company to its shareholders will be exempt from any withholding tax in Mauritius.

The Company now being registered by way of continuation in the British Virgin Islands is liable for zero tax given that a B.V.I Company operating outside B.V.I is not taxable.

The subsidiaries in South Africa are taxable at 30% for the year ended 28 February 2007 (28 February 2006: 30%)

15. Financial instruments

Fair values

The carrying amounts of investments in subsidiaries, investments in associates, available for sale investments, held for sale investments, receivables, loans and accruals approximate their fair values. Financial assets and liabilities which are accounted for at historical cost are carried at values which may differ materially from their fair values.

Future economic and political developments in South Africa could adversely affect the liquidity or value, or both, of securities in which the Company has invested.

16. Borrowings

17. Loan from related parties

(l) On 1 December 2007 4,000,000 new Shares were issued to investors, increasing the Ordinary Shares from 1, 940,000 to 5,940,000.

Save as disclosed above, there has been no change in the amount of the issued share or loan capital of the Company and no material change in the amount of the issued share or loan capital of any subsidiary undertaking of the Company, other than intra group issues by wholly owned subsidiary undertakings, in the two years immediately preceding the date of this document.

No Directors or proposed directors, promoters or experts (as named in the Listing Particulars) received any commission, discount, brokerage or had other special terms granted within the two years immediately preceding the issue of the Listing Particulars in connection with the issue or sale of any capital of any member of the Dale group.

As at 1 December 2007 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document), the Company’s authorised and issued share capital is as follows:

Ordinary Shares US$ No.Authorised No par value UnlimitedIssued and fully paid No par value 5,940,000 *

* On 1 December 2007 4,000,000 new Shares were issued to investors, increasing the Ordinary Shares from 1, 940,000 to 5,940,000.

No shares of the Company are currently in issue with a fixed date on which entitlement to a dividend arises and there are no arrangements in force whereby future dividends are waived or agreed to be waived.

The Company holds 30,000 shares in treasury. Dale holds these Shares as it acquired three shares from one of its major shareholders as a repayment of a loan due by the shareholder to the Company. Following the bonus issue (as described in section 2 (k) of this Part IV) 29,997 shares were issued to Dale. On 1st of December 2007, it re-issued 695 shares to other shareholders as detailed in section 12 above.

Save as disclosed in this document, no person has any acquisition right over, and the Company has incurred no obligation over, the Company’s authorised but unissued share capital or given any undertaking to increase the Company’s capital.

It is intended that, following the Admission, a number of options will be granted. The aggregate number of options that can be granted under the Share Option Plan to the Directors and certain employees of the Company is ten per cent. of the enlarged share capital.

Options granted under the Share Option Plan will become exercisable (subject to the satisfaction of any performance conditions), in equal installments in each of the three years following the date of grant provided the optionholder remains an employee or director of the Company, and will lapse on the tenth anniversary. All options will have an exercise price per Ordinary Share equal to the average closing price of the Shares over the last ten days on which shares were traded prior to the date of the option grant less a discount of ten per cent. of such price (except the first year grant which will have an exercise price equal to US$5). A summary of the principal terms of the Share Option Plan is set out in paragraph 9 of Part IV.

As at the date of publication of this document, the Company does not have any convertible debt in issue and has not entered into any subscription warrant arrangements or other arrangements which oblige or may oblige the Company to buy back issued Ordinary Shares.

9 SHARE OPTION PLAN

Following the Admission, it is the Company’s intention to establish a share trust for the benefit of the Directors and key managers of Dale (the Trust Deed is available for public inspection). It is intended that the share trust will acquire new Ordinary Shares in the company up to a maximum of ten per cent. of the market capitalisation of the Company.

Options to acquire these shares from the trust will be allocated on a performance basis to key executives and managers annually up to a maximum value of twice basic salary with the exercise price to be equal to the average closing price of the Shares over the last ten days on which shares were traded prior to the date of grant of the option, less a discount of ten per cent. of such price (the exercise price for the initial grant will be at US$5).

Options granted under the Share Option Plan will become exercisable (subject to the satisfaction of any performance conditions) in equal installments in each of the three years following the date of grant provided the option holder remains an employee or director of the Company, and will lapse on the tenth anniversary.

Following the initial acquisition of new Ordinary Shares in Dale, it is envisaged that from time-to-time the Share Trust will acquire Ordinary Shares in the open market in order to ensure that it maintains an adequate inventory of Shares.

14 EXCHANGE CONTROL REGULATIONS

South Africa has in place Exchange Control regulations which are administered by the South African Reserve Bank, assisted by the commercial banks who are appointed to serve as authorised dealers in foreign exchange. However since 1994, the Government has gradually phased out and relaxed exchange controls. As far as non-residents1 of S.A are concerned, there are now effectively no remaining exchange controls.

Capital invested in South Africa can be remitted, as an income flowing to non-residents. Dividends mustbe declared from revenue profits but may be freely remitted. The remittance of interest, royalties and licence and similar fees still requires the prior approval of the South African Reserve Bank, but once such approval is granted, they are remittable without restriction.

Borrowing Restrictions - A business entity that is 75 per cent. or more owned or controlled by non-residents is however still subject to restrictions on local borrowings in South Africa. Local borrowings include overdrafts, local discounting, the conclusion of installment and/or suspensive sales, financial leasing of capital equipment, mortgage bonds, the guaranteeing or accepting of any obligation, preference shares and debentures not subscribed for by equity shareholders, and local shareholders' loans in excess of their proportion of the company's equity. Excluded from the restriction is normal commercial credit for the sale of goods and services rendered. The level of local borrowing by a non-resident is limited to a percentage of the "total effective capital" of the company, calculated as follows: 100 + (% S.A Participation / % Non-S.A Participation) x 100 % of total effective capital

The percentage is therefore 100 per cent. of "total effective capital" if the South African company is wholly owned by the foreign company. "Effective capital" is basically the net worth of the company, together with shareholders' loans (which are regarded as investment funds because of their permanence)

1 Non-residents are those persons who are not resident in South Africa and are not emigrants from South Africa

Page 67: Dale Capital Partners Limiteddale-capital.com/PDF/Dale_Prospectus.pdf · 4 “GBL 1” an offshore company which is resident in Mauritius and is classified under the Mauritian Laws

67

and "hard core" trade credit extended to the company by non-resident shareholders. Local shareholders' loans that are proportionately in excess of foreign shareholders' loans are excluded from effective capital.

Although these local borrowing restrictions are for the most part strictly applied, the exchange control authorities adopt a more flexible approach for businesses that are established in decentralisation areas or that have a substantial import substitution or export potential.

Dividends and Branch Profits - All dividends declared by South African listed companies out of income and which are payable to non-resident shareholders may be remitted out of South Africa without the need for any approval from exchange control authorities.

Dividend, profit or income distributions to non-residents by South African unlisted companies and other business entities are remittable in proportion to the percentage shareholding or ownership of the non-residents and require the prior approval of an authorised dealer in foreign exchange (usually a commercial bank). The company or other entity must also produce an auditor's report which confirms that the amount to be transferred arises from realised or earned profits on investments owned by non-residents.

All applications for remittances of profits or dividends by entities that are 75 per cent. or more controlled by non-residents must be referred to the exchange control authorities for approval if the entity's borrowings or facilities (even if not fully utilised) are not within the formula referred to above. If the local borrowings are within that formula, or if local facilities exist within that formula (even though they are not fully utilised), the only consent required to remit dividends is that of an authorised dealer (usually commercial banks).

15 TAXATION

The following statements are intended only as a general guide to certain tax considerations and do not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax consequences of holding Shares. They are based on the laws and regulations now in effect and available as of the date hereof. The laws and regulations however, may change at any time, and any change could be retroactive to the date of issuance of Dale’s Shares. You are also recommended to consult you tax adviser regarding your tax position in holding Dale shares.

British Virgin Islands

Under the present laws of the British Virgin Islands, dividends remitted to Shareholders resident outside the British Virgin Islands will not be subject to withholding tax in the British Virgin Islands. In the British Virgin Islands, there are no taxes on profits or income, nor are there any capital gains tax, estate duty or inheritance tax applicable to Shares held by non-residents of the British Virgin Islands. Dale is not subject in the British Virgin Islands to stamp taxes or other similar duties on the issuance, transfer or redemption of the Company’s Shares.

Mauritius

The rate of corporate income tax in Mauritius is currently 15 per cent. on chargeable income. However, Companies like Bella Investment and SOS, which hold GBL 1 licenses, benefit from a tax credit of 80 per cent. which makes the effective corporate tax rate three per cent.. There are no withholding or capital gain taxes in Mauritius and no taxes on dividends for foreign investors.

68

South Africa

Tax and approved investments abroad

Corporate Investors

South African companies wishing to invest outside the Common Monetary Area have to demonstrate longer term benefit to the Republic. The previous Exchange Control requirement that South African companies must obtain a majority (i.e. 50 per cent. plus 1 share) interest in investments outside of Africa has been replaced with the requirement that a significant shareholding of at least 25 per cent. is obtained. Whilst there are no exchange control limits on new outward foreign direct investments, Exchange Control reserves the right to stagger capital outflows.

The application process as well as the criteria applicable to companies wishing to invest outside the CMA as outlined in the Rulings must be complied with. Other requests must be submitted to Exchange Control for consideration.

Expansion of existing approved foreign subsidiaries by means of finance raised (without recourse or guarantee from South Africa) or from profits earned abroad is permitted, provided the expansion is in the same line of business and benefit to South Africa can be demonstrated. The proposed expansion must be recorded with Exchange Control and the retention of any balance of profits earned must be negotiated with Exchange Control at the time of the normal annual report back.

Foreign dividends repatriated during the period 26 February 2003 to 26 October 2004 (dividend credits) form part of domestic funds and can be retransferred abroad for the financing of approved foreign direct investments of approved expansions, but not for any other purpose.

Foreign dividends declared after 26 October 2004 can be retained abroad and used for any purpose, provided there is no recourse to South Africa. Dividends repatriated after the aforementioned date may be retransferred abroad at any time and be used for any purpose. The funds may not be utilized to fund investments/loans into the common monetary area for any purpose whatsoever via a loop structure.

Institutional Investors

All retirement funds, long term insurers and collective investment scheme management companies are treated as Institutional Investors for Exchange Control purposes. Investment managers may elect to register as Institutional Investors for Exchange Control purposes. The Exchange Control limit on foreign portfolio investment is expressed as a percentage of the Institutional Investor’s total retail assets. That limit, in the case of retirement funds and long-term insurers is 15 per cent and in the case of investment managers (duly registered as Institutional Investors) and collective scheme management companies is 25 per cent.. There are prescribed reporting and application requirements.

South African Institutional Investors may invest in approved inward listed instruments which includes currency derivatives based on foreign reference assets or issued by foreign entities, listed on the JSE Limited and the Bond Exchange of South Africa, respectively, using the permissible foreign portfolio investment allowances. Institutional Investors may invest an additional five per cent of their total retail assets in approved African inward listed instruments.

In certain instances, corporate shareholders will, on application, be allowed to accept shares as acquisition currency in respect of acquisition issues and to exercise their rights in terms of a rights offer.

As a result of the introduction of the African allowance and the subsequent amendment of the quarterly asset allocation reporting template, the formats of the audit requirements pertaining to Institutional Investors have been incorporated in the Rulings.

69

Private foreign capital investment allowance

South African taxpayers in good standing over the age of 18 are allowed to invest abroad and/or hold foreign currency deposits with Authorised Dealers up to a total of ZAR2 million.

Such assets may be switched and/or disposed of wholly or partly, but reinvestment back into South Africa is not permitted by Exchange Control. In addition, Exchange Control will consider requests to purchase fixed property (holiday homes and farms) in Southern African Development Community countries.

Formalities to avail of this facility include obtaining a ‘Tax Clearance Certificate’ (in respect of foreign investments) from the South African Revenue Service and completion of forms MP1423 to Authorised Dealer.

Capital Gains Tax (CGT)

Capital Gains Tax is payable on the disposal of assets that take place on or after valuation date, i.e. 1 October 2001;

In the case of South African residents, the tax will apply to disposals of all assets (including overseas assets); in the case of non-residents, the following assets will be subject to Capital Gains Tax:

- Immovable property, or any right or interest in a property (this includes a direct or indirect interest of at least 20 per cent held alone or together with any connected person in the equity share capital of a company, where at least 80 per cent. of the value of the net assets of the company is, at the time of the disposal, attributable to immovable property in SA); and

- Any asset of a permanent establishment through which a trade carried on in SA;

A capital gain or loss is determined by calculating the difference between the proceeds i.e. the amount accruing to the seller, and the base cost of the disposed asset. Base cost relates to the costs directly incurred in acquiring or improving the asset.

Taxation of Foreign Dividends and the treatment thereof is dealt with in various sections of the Income Tax Act and are under constant scrutiny and review. It is thus recommended that South African Investors obtain professional advise before making any investment decision.
