Namibian Resources Plc ("the Company")

Annual Report and Financial Statements for Year Ended 28 February 2011

The Company today announces its final results for the year ended 28 February 2011. The Annual Report and Accounts are being posted to shareholders and will also be available on the Company's website www.namibianresources.com

Chairman's statement

YEAR ENDED 28 February 2011

In November last year we announced limited production from our alluvial mining operations in Namibia. Further progress has been made particularly in refurbishing our equipment. A further 5 year plus 5 year renewable contract has been offered by Namdeb. Production is slow but prices realised have shown a good increase.

The company has no debt apart from Directors' interest free unsecured loans to the company. As previously announced an amount of £273,775 Directors loans were converted into equity. It is the intention to convert further amounts of outstanding loans into equity as soon as possible thereby eliminating most of this debt. The Directors intend to continue funding the company until capital can be raised to provide adequate equipment to boost production.

Further reports on progress will be announced when appropriate.

Review of Operations

YEAR ENDED 28 February 2011

During this current financial year production has continued at a slow pace but prices realised have continued to increase. Operations are slow due to minimal staff and efforts to re-furbish our vehicles and equipment. For the period 1st march 2010 to 28th February 2011 production totalled 1,084 stones for a total of 445 carats and average stone size of ·;41 carats per stone. When mining is completed from the current identified resources we intend to concentrate on re-treating the old German tailings dumps, which are considered to present an opportunity to produce profitable returns. Namdeb has offered a new five year contract renewable for a further five years. We intend to bring this into force when our existing contract expires in April 2012.

The reduction in Directors loans should be beneficial in seeking finance in order to expand our operations.

Report of the independent auditors

Independent Auditors' Report to the members of Namibian Resources Plc

We have audited the financial statements of Namibian Resources Plc for the year ended 28 February 2011, which comprise the Group Income Statement, the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group and Company Statement of Changes in Equity, the Group and Company Balance Sheets, the Group and Company Cash Flow Statements and the related notes 1 to 23. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinion we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 6, the Directors' are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Group's and parent Company's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Opinion on financial statements

In our opinion:

·; the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and parent Company's affairs as at 28 February 2011 and of the Group's profit for the year then ended;

·; the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union;

·; the parent Company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and as applied in accordance with provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and

·; the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter - going concern and valuation of assets

Without qualifying our opinion we draw attention to the disclosures made in notes 1.2, 1.13, 1.14 and 1.15 concerning going concern, the valuation of intangible assets, the valuation of investments and the valuation of property plant and equipment.

The group's ability to continue as a going concern depends on the extension of the mining licence with Namdeb which expires on 30 April 2012, the ability of the company to raise additional finance to upgrade its production facilities and equipment, maintain a rolling programme of exploration and improve the volume of, and output from, it's processing of diamonds. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the company's and group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The company is dependent on support of the directors to enable it to continue to trade. On that basis the directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements of the company on the going concern basis.

The realisation of the intangible assets of £1,037,832 and property plant and equipment of £1,117,183 included in the consolidated balance sheet and amounts due by group undertakings of £4,636,016 included in the company balance sheet is dependent on the successful discovery and development of economic reserves, including the ability of the group to raise sufficient finance to develop current projects and on the extension of the mining licence with Namdeb with expires on 30 April 2012.

The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the company or the group was unable to continue as a going concern as it is not practicable to determine or quantify them.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

·; adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

·; the parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

·; certain disclosures of Directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

·; we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future periods will have no material impact on the financial statements of the company or the group.

1.1 Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated income statement account and balance sheet include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings made up to 28 February 2011. The results of subsidiaries sold or acquired are included in the income statement up to, or from the date control passes. Intra-group sales and profits are eliminated fully on consolidation.

1.2 Going Concern

The directors' consider the company is a going concern because all equipment and services are being maintained in order. All contracts and liabilities have been complied with and met. Since February 28 20111 the group has no outstanding liabilities other than in the normal course of business and this will continue at least until February 28 2012. There are no borrowings of any nature other than from the Directors. These borrowings will be converted to share capital by the directors during the year ended February 28 2012. The company will seek additional finance to expand its operations when conditions in the diamond market and in particular the world economy improve. To date, the company and the group have accumulated trading losses since the commencement of mining activities and there are inherent uncertainties in the mining industry, which make it impossible to predict when the company will become profitable. Nevertheless, the directors remain confident that the company and the group will trade profitably in the foreseeable future and will be able to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

1.3 Significant Judgements

In preparing the annual financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts represented in the annual financial statements and related disclosures. Use of available information and the application of judgement is inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from these estimates which may be material to the annual financial statements. Significant judgements include:

Trade Receivables

The group assesses its trade receivables for impairment at each balance sheet date. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement, the company makes judgements as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a financial asset.

Mining assets

The group assesses the proportion of exploration costs incurred which will provide future economic benefits in identifying areas of interest where future mining could be focused. These costs are capitalised and amortised over the period of the mining licence.

Mining rights

The right of mining on the assigned area was initially valued by an independent geologist. This right is yearly re-assessed for impairment by comparing the value-in-use to the carrying value of the mining right.

1.4 Underlying concepts

The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis using accrual accounting.

Assets and liabilities and income and expenses are not offset unless specifically permitted by an accounting standard.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported only when a currently legally enforceable right to set off the amounts exists and the intention is either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those used in previous financial periods except for the change in accounting estimates on depreciation of property, plant and equipment.

Changes in accounting estimates are recognised in profit or loss.

Prior period errors are retrospectively restated unless it is impractical to do so.

Accounting policies are not applied when the effect of applying them is immaterial.

1.5 Recognition of Assets and Liabilities

Assets are only recognised if they meet the definition of an asset, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the company and the cost or fair value can be measured reliably.

Liabilities are only recognised if they meet the definition of a liability, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the liability will flow from the company and the cost or fair value can be measured reliably.

Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities as a result of firm commitments are only recognised when one of the parties has performed under the contract.

Regular purchases and sales are recognised using trade date accounting.

1.6 Derecognition of Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets or parts thereof are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows have been transferred or have expired or if substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have passed. Where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have not been transferred or retained, the financial assets are derecognised if they are no longer controlled. However, if control in this situation is retained, the financial assets are recognised only to the extent of the continuing involvement in those assets.

All other assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from their use or on disposal.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the relevant obligation has either been discharged or cancelled or has expired.

1.7 Revenue

The total revenue of the group for the year has been derived from its principal activity, mining, wholly undertaken by its subsidiary in Namibia, Sonnberg Diamonds (Namibia) (Proprietary) Limited ("Sonnberg"). All sales are made in Namibia and the majority of assets are also located in Namibia.

Turnover comprises of sales to customers and services rendered to customers. Turnover is stated at the invoice amount and is exclusive of value added taxation.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions have been satisfied:

·; the company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

·; the company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

·; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

·; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company; and

·; the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amounts receivable for goods provided in the normal course of business, net of trade discounts and volume rebates, and value added tax.

Interest is recognised, in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method.

1.8 Tax

Current tax assets and liabilities

Current tax for current and prior periods is, to the extent unpaid, recognised as a liability. If the amount already paid in respect of current and prior periods exceeds the amount due for those periods, the excess is recognised as an asset.

Current tax liabilities (assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the tax authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. A deferred tax asset is not recognised when it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction at the time of the transaction and affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

A deferred tax asset is recognised for the carry forward of unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Tax expenses

Current and deferred taxes are recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from:

·; a transaction or event which is recognised, in the same or a different period, directly in equity, or

·; a business combination.

Current tax and deferred taxes are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged, in the same or a different period, directly to equity.

1.9 Leases

A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

1.10 Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction.

The results of overseas operations are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. However the balance sheet is translated at the rate ruling at the date of the balance sheet.

1.11 Mining Assets

Exploration and evaluation costs other than future site identification costs are expensed as incurred. Site identification costs related to areas of interest are capitalised and carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recoverable.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of

the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly, the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

Mining assets are reviewed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. When facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the mining asset is written down to their recoverable amount.

1.12 Rehabilitation Costs

Costs of site restoration are recognised when incurred. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with the clauses of the mining permits. Such costs are charged to direct costs.

1.13 Intangible Assets

An intangible asset is recognised when:

·; it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity; and

·; the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost.

Intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Expenditure on acquired intangible assets are capitalised and amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives. Intangible assets are not revalued. The carrying amount of each intangible asset is reviewed annually and adjusted for impairment where it is considered necessary.

An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life when, based on all relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows. Amortisation is not provided for these intangible assets. For all other intangible assets amortisation is provided on a straight line basis over their useful life.

The amortisation period and the amortisation method for intangible assets are reviewed every period-end.

Amortisation is provided to write down the intangible assets, on a straight line basis, to their residual values as follows:

Items Useful life

Mining Rights 10 Years

Exploration Costs 10 Years

1.14 Investments

Fixed assets investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value.

1.15 Property, Plant and Equipment

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset when:

·; it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company;

·; and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Costs include costs incurred initially to acquire or construct an item of property, plant and equipment and costs incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service it. If a replacement cost is recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located is also included in the cost of property, plant and equipment.

Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Except for plant and machinery depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost of each asset to their residual values over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation begins when an item of property, plant and equipment is available for use and ends when the item is derecognised, even if during that period the item was idle.

The depreciation rates applicable to each category of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Plant and machinery is depreciated on the unit of production method. This represents a change in accounting policy as it was previously depreciated on a straight line basis over 10 years.

Item Average useful Life

Motor Vehicles 8 years

Office Equipment 5 years

The residual value and the useful life of each asset are reviewed at each financial period-end.

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately.

The depreciation charge for each period is recognised in profit or loss unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in profit or loss when the item is derecognised. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item.

1.16 Impairment of Assets

The company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset.

Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, the company also:

·; tests intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not yet available for use for impairment annually by comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable amount. This impairment test is performed during the annual period and at the same time every period.

·; tests goodwill acquired in a business combination for impairment annually.

If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount is estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs is determined.

The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss.

An impairment loss of assets carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation or amortisation is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease.

A reversal of an impairment loss of assets carried at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortisation other than goodwill is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Any reversal of an impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.17 Inventories

This represents inventories of consumable stores, held at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.18 Financial Instruments

Initial Recognition

The group classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the group's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Loans to (from) Group Companies

These include loans to the subsidiary company and are recognised initially at fair value plus direct transaction costs.

Subsequently these loans, where it is practicable to do so and it would have a material effect on consolidated reporting, are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amounts on loans receivable an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that it is impaired. The impairment is measured as the difference between the investment's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.

Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the investment's recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Trade and other Receivables

Trade receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. The allowance recognised is measured as the difference

between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.

Trade and other Payables

Trade payables are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These are initially and subsequently recorded at fair value.

1.19 Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognised when:

·; the company has a present obligation as a result of a past event;

·; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and .

·; a reliable estimate can be made of the obligation.

Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement shall be recognised when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the entity settles the obligation. The reimbursement shall be treated as a separate asset. The amount recognised for the reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of the provision.

Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

If an entity has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract shall be recognised and measured as a provision.

Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised.

1.20 Executive Share Options

For equity-settled share-based payment transactions the group, in accordance with IFRS2 (effective from 1st January 2006), measures their value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of those equity instruments is measured at grant date using the trinomial method. Where the expense is material, it is apportioned over the vesting period of the financial instrument and is based on the numbers which are expected to vest and the fair value of those financial instruments at the date of the grant. If the equity instruments granted vest immediately, the expense is recognised in full.

2. Employees

The total wages, salaries and social security costs were 2011 £107,505 (2010 £85,057).

3 Operating Loss

The remuneration of the highest paid director is £6,250 (2010 £25,000).

4 Taxation on Loss on Ordinary Activities

There has been no tax payable in this or the previous year due to the availability of losses.

A deferred tax asset of £1,227,245 (2010 - £950,697) relating to losses in the subsidiary undertakings has not been recognised due to inherent uncertainty regarding the availability of suitable taxable profits against which the losses can be recovered within the foreseeable future.

5 Loss per Share

Loss per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the relevant financial periods. The weighted average number of shares in issue is 40,287,493 (2010 - 39,922,460) and the loss, being the loss after tax, is £417,239 (2010 loss ‑ £289,353).

Diluted Loss per share has been calculated using a weighted average number of shares of 41,037,493 (2010 - 40,672,460), which includes the share options in issue at the start and end of the year.

6 Loss for the Financial Period

As permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, the holding company's profit and loss account has been included in these financial statements. The loss for the financial year is made up as follows:

7 Intangible Assets

Of the net book value above £654,180 (2010 £600,821) relates to Mining Rights. There has been no amortisation of these rights in the year as it is the view of the directors that the fair value of the Rights exceeds the Net Book Value at the beginning and end of the year.

8 Property Plant and Equipment

9 Fixed Asset Investments

Investment in group undertakings includes

·; 100% holding in Sonnberg Diamonds (Namibia) (Proprietary) Limited, a mining company incorporated in Namibia.

The loans to group undertakings are denominated in Namibian Dollars, are interest free and are subordinated in favour of other creditors of the subsidiary undertakings.

The directors are of the opinion that it is impractical to measure the loans to subsidiaries at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method and that to do so would have no benefit to the consolidated position of the company and its subsidiaries as the balances due to and from each company eliminate on consolidation.

Financial instruments policies and strategies

During the period since its incorporation, the group has financed its business with the cash it has raised through the issue of shares. It has used these funds to acquire and develop business in Namibia. The main risk arising from the group's financial instruments is foreign currency risk.

At 28 February 2011, the group's financial instruments comprised cash and short-term receivables and payables arising directly from its operations. The group's primary treasury activity has been the management of cash. This has been held so as to maximise interest earned without compromising the group's need for flexibility in meeting its cash needs. The group is not currently actively pursuing a strategy of acquiring investments.

Although the group is based in the UK, it has a significant investment in Namibia. As a result, the group's sterling balance sheet can be significantly affected by movements in the Namibian Dollar/Sterling exchange rates.

Sales of diamonds are denominated in Namibian Dollars but the price obtained is dependent on market prices set in US Dollars. The group incurs costs in both Sterling and Namibian Dollars.

The group has not entered into any derivative transactions during the year.

Short-term receivables and payables have been excluded from the numerical disclosures below.

The financial assets comprise short-term cash deposits. The group does not have any material interest bearing financial liabilities. As the group's principal financial instruments is cash, the directors do not consider there to be a material difference between the book and fair value of the group's financial assets.

 For the year ended 28 February 2011 the directors decided not to amortise the mining rights on the basis that their value at the beginning and end of the year exceeds the net book value.

Shares

The deferred shares have no rights to dividend or to attend any general meetings. The shares shall not be deemed to be varied or abrogated by the creation or issue of any new shares ranking in priority to or pari passu with or subsequent to such share.

The ordinary shares have attached to them full voting, dividend and capital distribution (including on winding up) rights; they do not confer any rights of redemption.

Options

The company has in issue the following options to subscribe for ordinary shares:

Options are exercisable between 9 January 2010 and 9 January 2013 at an exercise price of £0.12p. As at 28 February 2011 these options were still outstanding.

The directors' estimate, by reference to formal valuations of options issued in prior periods and consideration of movements in component factors of those valuations, that the expense to be recognised under IFRS2 in respect of options issued during the year is not material in the context of group results. They consider that the expense of commissioning a separate valuation would be disproportionate to the benefits obtained. Accordingly no adjustments have been made to reflect the issue of options as an expense of the business and the corresponding increase in equity of the business.

22 Contingent Liabilities

The mining contract undertaken by the group requires the subsidiary, Sonnberg, to remove all equipment and installations and to rehabilitate all disturbed areas once mining activities have ceased.

Sonnberg pay 1% of sales to a fund held by NAMDEB Diamond Corporation (Proprietary) Limited, to provide for the costs of environmental rehabilitation. The directors' best estimate is that there is no additional liability at the balance sheet date to the contributions already made to this fund. Accordingly, no provision has been made.
