ABOUT OUR INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT

This Integrated Annual Report strives to convey the essence of who the Brikor Group and its directors are as well as what they believe in. It strives to indicate the Group's commitment to sustainability, accuracy, transparency and integrity. Substance, rather than form, is applied in the structure and content of this report to invigorate existing stakeholders and invite potential future stakeholder interest in the Group. This is accomplished through sharing the history of the Group and providing a proud view into the vision of where the Group wishes to find itself in the short-, medium- and long-term.

REPORTING FRAMEWORKS

The 2021 Integrated Annual Report has been compiled in accordance with the principles and requirements of:

• International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS);
• King IV™ on corporate governance;
• JSE Listings Requirements (service issue 27);
• Companies Act, no 71 of 2008, as amended (Companies Act);
• GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards; and
• all other relevant legislative and non-legislative principles and guidelines.

The Company has adopted the value-adding principles enshrined in King IV™ and views integration, together with Board and Executive Committee education, as a phase of the process.

These frameworks inform our

Value creation, preservation or erosion over time

The integrated reporting framework recommends reporting on the capital resources that are utilised in the creation, preservation or erosion of value.

These forms are classified as the six forms of capital being financial, manufactured, intellectual, human, social and relationship and natural. These capitals form the basis against which all concepts, ideas and challenges are measured to ensure that the best possible value proposition for all stakeholders is realised.

SCOPE OF THIS REPORT

The report covers the integrated financial and non-financial performance of the Brikor Group, which includes Brikor Limited and its subsidiary for the period 1 March 2020 to 28 February 2021.

Sustainability reporting coincides with Brikor's Integrated Annual Report, and forms part of the Integrated Annual Report. The Group only operates within the boundaries of South Africa, with its head office located in Nigel.

The primary objective of this Integrated Annual Report is to demonstrate the ability of Brikor to create and retain value as well as to prevent the erosion of value. The Integrated Annual Report will provide a greater understanding of the Group's strategy, its business model and its major impacts across economic, social and environmental aspects as well as insight into how the Group is managed.

A synopsis of economic, environmental and social indicators is presented on pages 105 to 127, as the Group progresses on its path to adopt a more integrated approach in its reporting.

The adoption of integrated reporting principles is a developmental and evolutionary process and it may take some time to fully implement these principles and achieve the desired level of reporting. This report, nevertheless, offers stakeholders a more holistic view of Brikor's operations and provides insight on both financial and non- financial matters for the reporting period ended 28 February 2021.

As the concepts and practices of integrated reporting develop, management will aim to improve disclosures and application as deemed appropriate.

The Integrated Annual Report is also available online at www.brikor.co.za.

APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY

The Group maintains that true sustainability requires integration into each aspect of its day-to-day business activities to deliver long-term sustainable value to all stakeholders. The dynamic nature of sustainability and sustainability reporting demands a willingness to adopt advancements in conceptual understanding, which led to the adoption of the six capitals, which form the identifiable core attributes that require ongoing commitment for the Group to become truly sustainable.

MATERIAL ISSUES

The extent of disclosure and content of this report is driven through the application of materiality determined by the Brikor Board of Directors. This materiality is not only based on a quantitative value, but also the qualitative nature of a material issue and how it impacts on the achievement of the strategic targets and sustainable profitability of the Group, and its ability to create and retain value over time as well as prevent the erosion of value. The disclosure excludes information which could lead to loss of the Group's competitive advantage and price-sensitive information has also been excluded.

Material issues

The directors, in consultation with management, annually identify the issues that could have the most significant impact on the Group's ability to create sustainable value for its stakeholders. In determining these material issues, the directors consider internal and external factors, including the Group's strategy, the needs, expectations and concerns of its stakeholders, and the economic and trading environment. These material issues are reviewed each year during the course of the Board's strategic planning process.

The risks relating to these material issues are disclosed together with opportunities to provide our stakeholders with insight into the growth drivers of the business and are disclosed on pages 73 to 79 of the Integrated Annual Report.

ASSURANCE, COMPARABILITY AND RESTATEMENTS

A combined assurance model is applied to provide a coordinated approach to all assurance activities.

The content of this Integrated Annual Report has been reviewed by the directors and management but has not been externally assured.

The consolidated and separate financial statements have been audited by Nexia SAB&T, who expressed an unmodified audit opinion. The consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The BBBEE rating and the Competent Person's Report were verified by accredited external independent service providers Amax BEE Verifications (Pty) Ltd and Minxcon (Pty) Ltd, respectively, and the Board is satisfied with the processes for measuring all other non-financial information.
