Environment
Economic:
> The five-month mining unrest affected our stores in those areas, and in areas with remittances
> Mid-month trading soft: smaller pack-sizes, private brands
> The “new normal”: soft volume growth, steady product inflation, likely higher expense inflation
> Unsecured-lending: probably affected general consumer confidence & spending. Game most impacted of our formats?
Competitive:
> Food Retail very competitive
> Wholesale / C&C turbulent. Independents reducing store footprints
> Turmoil in Credit Furniture sector likely positive for Game & Makro
Interim Results to June 201433
Legal & Risk
Lease Exclusivities:
> Multiple actual or threatened legal actions
> By three major South African food retailers
> Against Game. One against Game / Cambridge
> These actions are intuitively anti-competitive: restrict competition and limit choice & benefit for customers
> Will be lodging formal complaint with Competition Commission
Reinstatement of 503 Game employees:
> Recently made great progress and now almost 90% will have been reinstated
> Acknowledge role of Competition Commission, SACCAWU, and staff in bringing this to resolution

Sales Update & Prospects
Looking ahead, we remain focused on:

> Addressing underperformance
> Longer-term growth
> Strategic clarity & intent
For 34 weeks to 24 August 2014, the Group’s total sales grew by 10.0% and comparable sales by 7.1%
Likely that these sales trends will continue for the remainder of 2014 as we expect continuation of weak SA consumer environment
