INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF Muray & Roberts HOLDINGS LIMITED

We have audited the consolidated and separate annual financial statements of Murray & Roberts Holdings Limited, set out on Consolidated statement financial position to Annexure 3, which comprise the statements of financial position as at 30 June 2012, and the statements of financial performance, the statements of other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the year then ended, and the notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors’ responsibility for the consolidated and separate financial statements

The Company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated and separate financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated and separate financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, these consolidated and separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and separate financial position of Murray & Roberts Holdings Limited as at 30 June 2012, and its consolidated and separate financial performance and consolidated and separate cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.

Other reports required in terms of the Companies Act

As part of our audit of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012, we have read the directors’ report, the audit & sustainability committee’s report and the certification by company secretary for the purpose of identifying whether there are material inconsistencies between these reports and the audited financial statements. These reports are the responsibility of the respective preparers. Based on reading these reports we have not identified material inconsistencies between these reports and the audited financial statements. However, we have not audited these reports and accordingly do not express an opinion on these reports.
