Independent Report

To the board of directors.

We have evaluated the accompanying financial statements of Khomas Power (Pty) Ltd for fairness based on our annual audit carried out in terms of the Memorandum of Incorporation of the company.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for the prevention of fraud.

The auditors responsibility is to perform the audit and in doing so, to detect any fraud which may have a material effect on the financial statements not having been prevented by the directors.

We report on the following aspects of the audit:

1. An expert was engaged by our firm to assist in the valuation of work-in-progress. Due to the complexity of some of the companys lighting systems, the risk of misstatement in work-in-progress warranted this.

2. The company is currently being sued by a former employee who suffered personal injury at work whilst testing electric current flow during quality control procedures.

3. With regard to the detection of fraud, we detected a small wage fraud relating to unauthorized overtime. We reported this to management who subsequently dismissed the perpetrators.

In our opinion, except for the matters raised in 1 to 3 above, there are no outstanding issues arising from the audit which was conducted in terms of the International Standards on Auditing and the International Financial Reporting Standards.

Emphasis of matter
