The information in the short-form announcement is a summary of the full announcement available on the Company´s website on https://elliesholdings.com/YERes2020.pdf on 1 October 2020 and accordingly does not contain full or complete details. The full announcement can also be accessed online at https://senspdf.jse.co.za/documents/2020/JSE/ISSE/ELI/YE2020.pdf. The condensed consolidated financial statements were reviewed by BDO South Africa Incorporated and an unmodified review opinion has been issued on the reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 April 2020. The directors believe that the Group is a going concern, however, COVID-19 creates a material uncertainty around going concern, which creates significant doubt. However, the effect of a slow economic recovery or a further deterioration in the economic outlook of South Africa post the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact were considered as an uncertainty. If the economy and as a result, the performance of Ellies, deteriorate and management is unable to stem the losses incurred in a major subsidiary, these present a material uncertainty to Ellies remaining as a going concern. These matters indicate that there is a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the Group´s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, that it may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Shareholders are referred to the full announcement, available on the Company´s website on https://elliesholdings.com/YERes2020.pdf for further information in this regard.
