THIS SUMMARY MUST BE READ AS AN INTRODUCTION TO THIS CIRCULAR AND ANY DECISION TO CASTA VOTE ON THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION SHOULD BE BASED ON A CONSIDERATION OF THE CONTENTSOF THE CIRCULAR AS A WHOLE.

TRANSACTION SUMMARY

In February 2009, the Zimbabwean economy began the process of exiting an economic recession that was characterised by hyper inflation, pricecontrols and the shortage of basic goods and services. The overall effect of the recession on local businesses was the depletion of working capitaland the lack of sufficient investment in capital expenditure. Since 2009, CFI has utilised debt finance to fund its capital requirements, but the highcost and short terms of the debt finance have negatively affected the Group's financial performance. The lack of working capital with tenures andinterest rates that match the Group subsidiary requirements, coupled with operating inefficiencies, have affected operational performanceresulting in operating overheads that current revenues and cash flows are unable to support.

There is a requirement for the Group to raise fresh capital in the form of equity and to restructure the current debt in order to address its capitalrequirements. There is also a requirement to facilitate the entry of new skills into the Group's subsidiaries. These two objectives can be metthrough a dual process of bringing on board strategic investors at a subsidiary level that have the capital and technical skills required to improve thesubsidiary's operational and financial performance.

To meet this objective, CFI seeks to enter into an agreement with Grindrod Limited through its subsidiary Grindrod Trading where by VictoriaFoods will issue 812,841 new ordinary shares to Grindrod Trading, representing 49% of Victoria Foods issued share capital post the ProposedTransaction. The subscription price to be paid by Grindrod is US$ 3,250,000. As part of the transaction, Grindrod Trading will provide VictoriaFoods with a US$ 2,750,000 shareholder loan which will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Grindrod Trading will also sign variouscommercial contracts that will result in Victoria Foods accessing a US$ 12,000,000, 90 day, CMA grain procurement facility for use in itsoperations.

Attend the EGM to approve the resolutions related to the Proposed Transaction. If a CFI shareholder has disposed of all theirshares in CFI, then this Circular should be handed to the transferee of such shares or the stockbroker, banker or other agentthrough whom the disposal was effected.

CFI Shareholders who are unable to attend the EGM, but who wish to be represented thereat, should complete and sign theProxy Form included with this Circular in accordance with the instructions contained therein, and ensure it is either returned orposted to First Transfer Secretaries (Private) Limited, 1 Armagh Avenue, Eastlea, Harare or the registered offices of the Groupbeing, 1 Wynne Street, Harare, so that it is received by the share transfer secretaries by no later than 11:00 hours on Wednesday24 July 2013.

No.1 Wynne Street, Harare, Zimbabwe.

Our company is a holding company listed on the ZSE with shareholdings in subsidiaries and associates involved in poultry, grainmilling, retailing and property development. In February 2009, the Zimbabwean economy began the process of exiting aneconomic recession that was characterised by hyperinflation, price controls and the shortage of basic goods and services. Theoverall effect of the recession on our subsidiary businesses was the depletion of working capital and the lack of sufficient investmentin the requisite infrastructure. Since 2009, CFI has utilised debt finance to fund its capital requirements but the high cost and shorttenure of the debt finance have negatively affected the Group's financial performance.

The lack of working capital with tenures and interest rates that match the Group's subsidiaries' requirements coupled withoperating inefficiencies has negatively affected their operational and financial performance resulting in operating overheads thatcurrent revenues and cash flows are unable to support.

The Group has been actively exploring opportunities through which it can raise fresh capital in the form of equity and to restructureits current debt obligations in order to address the issues stated above. The Board also recognises that along with the injection ofnew capital, there is a requirement to facilitate the entry of new skills and business relationships into the Group's subsidiaries. It isenvisaged that the combined initiatives will result in the Group enhancing its long term financial performance.

CFI will restructure US$ 2,862,245 of its intergroup loan receivable that incorporate short and long term debt owed to it byVictoria Foods into a shareholder loan. This shareholder’s loan will rank in all respects to the Grindrod Tradingshareholder’s loan. The salient terms of the Share Subscription Agreement and Shareholders Agreement appear inAnnexure II to this Circular.

As a result of the transaction CFI's shareholding in Victoria Foods will be diluted to 51%. CFI and Grindrod Trading willconstitute a new board of directors and a new management team for Victoria Foods with Grindrod Trading appointing anequal number of representatives to the board as CFI (two) and representatives to the management team.

Grindrod Limited is a JSE listed South Africa-based holding companythat is involved in the movement of cargo by road, rail, sea and air, through integrated logistics services.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED PRO-FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

4. GROUPS’ FUTURE PROSPECTS

Figure 2: CFI group structure post the Proposed Transaction

Note 1 Represents the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2013.

Note 2 Represents the effect of the change in accounting estimate on land and improvements (properties) owned byVictoria Foods. The subsidiary is changing the valuation base from carrying properties on the basis of market value todepreciated replacement cost, which is in line with industry peers and more appropriate for a business withspecialised properties.

Note 3 Represents the application of the anticipated US$6 million proceeds in line with agreed priorities covering:investment in additional property, plant and equipment – US$0.4 million, funding critical working capitalrequirements – US$2.4 million, servicing overdue creditors – US$2.1 million, repayment of bank borrowings –

US$1 million and funding transaction costs.

Note 4 Represents the effect of the conversion of the Victoria Foods – CFI Holdings Limited intergroup loan to ashareholder's loan – US$ 2,9 , the reassignment of bank borrowings amounting to US$2 from theGroup to Victoria Foods.

Note 5 Represents the unaudited consolidated proforma statement of financial position after the injection of theUS$ 6 , the effect of agreed valuation adjustments and loans restructuring initiatives as explained above.

The injection of long term capital into Victoria Foods and the restructuring of debt is projected to have an immediatepositive impact on its financial performance with the enhanced working capital position positively impacting inventory levelsand revenue generation. Management is confident of Victoria Foods future performance and views an investment inworking capital as strategic in maintaining and possibly improving its market position. The enhancing of current grainprocurement processes will provide a lower cost base and ensure consistency in throughput and product supply to themarket.

Overall, the long term prospects of the Group's operations are positive. The trading environments for the majorsubsidiaries continue to be attractive with strong local demand and legislation that continues to support the local productionand processing of food. CFI has access to the assets and human resources required to leverage off the growth expected inagricultural production and food consumption. The refurbishment of infrastructure and introduction of technical skills atCrest Poultry Group will allow for better bird performance and ultimately lower costs and improved throughput.

Non-core assets or assets in which CFI does not have sufficient control to direct operations for the benefit of the largerGroup potentially act as diversions of management attention and financial resources. CFI will continue to seek to exit theseinvestments and will inject the proceeds of such disposals into continuing operations along with capital raised from theongoing transactions. This will result in a more focused, better capitalised Group going forward. Figure 2 below provides anoverview of the Group's structure post the Proposed Transaction.

Professional fees and regulatory charges 147,000Printing and publishing costs 35,000

CFI has not made any recent material disposals or acquisitions.

Save as discussed in this Circular, between 31 March 2013 and the date of this Circular, there have been no material adversechanges in CFI’s financial position, operations, and no commissions, brokerages or other special terms have been granted byCFI in connection with the issue or sale of its share capital.

As a conglomerate with subsidiaries involved in broiler production and processing, grain milling, retail and property, theGroup has recognised a number of factors that may have a material impact on the Group's operations and financialperformance. Factors that could influence the production of the Group's products and demand for the Group's servicesinclude continuing fluctuations in feed costs, changes in consumer disposable incomes and the related demand for goodsand services, labour costs and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending behaviour. More specific risksand threats are summarised below.

The Poultry division's operations and results are dependent on the cost and supply of raw materials such as feed grains and anumber of other inputs, as well as the selling prices for final products. Maize and soya meal are major production costs,representing approximately 75% to 80% of the final cost of dressed chickens. As a result, fluctuations in prices for thesefeed ingredients can adversely affect revenue and profitability.

CFI Poultry and Victoria Foods face competition from domestic and regional broiler and food processors. Demand for CFI’sproducts also affected by competitors' promotional spending, the effectiveness of CFI's advertising and the availability orpricing of alternative meats.

Output and demand for the Group's products can be adversely impacted by outbreaks of poultry diseases which can have asignificant impact on financial results. Efforts are taken to control disease risks by adherence to good production practicesand precautionary measures designed to ensure the health of the poultry flock. However, outbreaks of disease couldsignificantly affect output of products.

The poultry and milling operations are subject to regulations by authorities that oversee the importation of competingproducts from foreign markets. A negative change in the regulations governing the industry sectors may leave the Groupunprotected from cheaper foreign imports.

Farm & City sources products from various regional and local manufacturers that may from time to time experiencedisruptions in production and supply, which may adversely affect the subsidiaries' performance.

13. EXTRACTS FROM THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

14. AUTHORISATION AND APPROVALS FOR THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

The Group's financial instruments include bank loans and over-drafts and short term deposits. The main purpose of thesefinancial instruments is to raise finance for the Group's operations and to achieve a return on surplus short term funds. TheGroup has various other financial assets and financial liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arisedirectly from its operations. The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreigncurrency risk and credit risk.

The Group's exposure to risk for changes in market interest rates relates primarily to variable short term overdraft rates.The Group's policy is to manage its finance cost by limiting exposure to overdrafts and where borrowings are required, toborrow at favourable and fixed rates of interest.

As a result of the state of industry in Zimbabwe, the Group relies heavily on importations of cereals and other products fromSouth Africa mainly and other countries, exposing the Group significantly to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.The Group also has transactional currency exposures. The Group limits exposure to exchange rate fluctuations by eitherpre-paying for purchases or retaining stock until the foreign currency to settle the related liability has been secured. Inaddition, on major cereal imports, the Group manages its risk when dealing with Commodity brokers by fixing its contractprices in United States Dollars, which is the Group's functional currency.

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group's policy that all customers who wish totrade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an on-going basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant.

The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding through a well-managed portfolio of short-term investments and/or flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans and finance leases.

The Group is exposed to movement in fair value of listed equities. Investments in equities are valued at fair value and aretherefore susceptible to market fluctuations. Comprehensive measures and limits are in place to control the exposure ofthe Group's equity investments to fair value risk.

The Group Treasury office is tasked with the responsibility of performing research into potential opportunities in order toprovide suggestions for investment to the Board of Directors. This office monitors the performance of the investmentportfolio and reports to the Board of Directors.

Biological assets are living animals or plants that are managed by the Group. Agricultural produce is the harvested product ofthe biological asset. Biological assets of the Group include breeding chickens, broilers, layers, cattle, crops and vegetables.These biological assets are exposed to various risks, which include, disease/infection outbreaks, theft of livestock, pricefluctuations and marketing risk. The Group has put in place measures and controls to safeguard losses due to the aboverisks. These measures and controls include among other things, insurance against theft and natural deaths, implementationand maintenance of bio-security measures on farms, vaccination to prevent infections and regular evaluation of prices.

The relevant provisions in CFI’s Memorandum and Articles of Association concerning the appointment, qualification,remuneration, borrowing, voting powers and retirement relating to the Directors are available to be viewed along with theother documentation available for inspection as outlined in Paragraph 27 of this Document.

Authorisation for Proposed Transaction will be sought from shareholders at the EGM scheduled for Friday 26 July 2013. Anyregulatory approvals required for the Proposed Transaction will be sought by the Board. Naturally, the ProposedTransaction can only be implemented once those approvals have been obtained.

This Scheme will be in operationuntil September 2013.

It is intended that together with the Proposed Transaction, Victoria Foods will be able to up skill its workforce in the criticalareas of logistics, procurement, milling, marketing and other areas where the technical partner in Grindrod Trading has corecompetencies. The Victoria Foods Board will be responsible for defining additional strategies to ensure that satisfactoryreturns are derived from this investment.

The Directors of CFI Holdings Limited believe that the execution of this transaction will fully resolve the working capitalrequirements for Victoria Foods for the foreseeable future. Further capital raising transactions combining an appropriatemix of equity injection and long term debt are however still necessary to enhance the Group’s ability to service its financialobligations as they fall due.

Our procedures on the unaudited financial information, signed by the directors, as at 31 March 2013 included:Review of management application of the significant group accounting policies in the preparation of the interim financial statements forthe half year ended 31 March 2013 press release;Review of the consolidation workings for accuracy and consistency; andReview of the areas of judgement for reasonableness.

Our report shall not in any way constitute recommendations regarding the completion of the transaction or the issue of the circular toshareholders.

Our procedures consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted financial information with the source documents, considering the pro formaadjustments in light of the accounting policies of CFI, considering the evidence supporting the pro forma adjustments and discussion of theadjusted pro forma financial information with the directors of CFI in respect of the transaction that is subject of this Circular.

In arriving at our conclusion, we have relied upon financial information prepared by the Directors of CFI and other information from variouspublic, financial and industry sources.

Because the above procedures do not constitute either an audit or a review made in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, we donot express any assurance on the fair presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information. Had we performed additional procedures orhad we performed an audit or review of the financial information in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, other matters mighthave come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

In a limited assurance engagement, the evidence-gathering procedures are more limited than for a reasonable assurance engagement andtherefore less assurance is obtained than in a reasonable assurance engagement. We believe our evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our conclusion.

Based on our examination, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that, in all material respects:The interim financial information has not been properly compiled on the basis stated; andSuch basis is inconsistent with the accounting policies of CFI.

Subsequent to 31 March 2013 no events have been identified which may materially impact on the Group.

Based on our examination of the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that, in terms of section 8.3 of theZSE Listings Requirements:

The pro forma financial information has not been properly compiled on the basis stated,Such basis is inconsistent with the accounting policies of the Group; andThe adjustments are not appropriate for the purposes of the pro forma financial information as disclosed.

Particulars of material contingent liabilities and commitments have been disclosed per part 21 and part 24 of this circular respectively.

At the request of the Group, and with the approval of the ZSE, the notes to the financial information and the accounting policies have beenexcluded from this circular, but are available for inspection in the full audited set of financial statements for the 12 months ended 30 September2012 at the registered office of the Group.

We consent to the inclusion of this report, which will form part of the circular to the shareholders of CFI, dated Friday 28 June 2013, in the formand context in which it appears.

ANNEXURE III – SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION OF VICTORIA FOODS

VALUATION OPINION REGARDING VICTORIA FOODS (PRIVATE) LIMITED

1 Purpose of the Valuation

2 Information Review

3 Valuation Methodologies Applied

3.1 DCF valuation methodology

3.1.1 CompCo valuation methodology

28 June 2013

The DirectorsCFI Holdings Limited1 Wynne StreetHarare, Zimbabwe

Dear Mr. Kuipa

The Directors of CFI Holdings Limited ( CFI”) mandated Imara Corporate Finance Zimbabwe (Private) Limited (“Imara”) to provide avaluation report on the indicative fair equity value of Victoria Foods (Private) Limited (“Victoria Foods”).

This valuation report sets out a summary of Imara's fair market value opinion. The valuation opinion is valid for the purpose of assisting theDirectors in reviewing potential offers for the acquisition of a shareholding in Victoria Foods by selected investors.

Imara has relied on the accuracy and veracity of the information made available to it during discussions and correspondence with themanagement of CFI and Victoria Foods. Whilst Imara has no reason to doubt the accuracy or veracity of such information, Imara has notperformed an independent review on the information provided and consequently Imara does not accept any responsibility whatsoeverfor the accuracy or veracity of such information.

Any valuation exercise is a matter of applying sound commercial sense to the results of technical evaluation. In performing the indicativevaluation of Victoria Foods, Imara adopted an income-based approach through the application of a Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”)valuation methodology. In order to corroborate the results of the DCF methodology, Imara cross checked the DCF results through theapplication of the Market Approach through the application of the Comparable Company valuation methodology (“CompCo”).

The DCF valuation methodology is considered the most appropriate standard of valuation used for a grain milling and FMCGdistribution company. The following limiting conditions were taken into account when applying the DCF valuation methodology andin determining the Imara conclusion on the valuation range:

The DCF methodology has been used to derive an equity value for Victoria Foods by computing the future free cash flows ofVictoria Foods and discounting the free cash flows at the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”);DCF models are typically highly sensitive to target debt to equity ratio, consequent WACC applied, as well as the projectedterminal growth rate. Slight changes in the WACC and terminal growth rate results in significant movement in the terminalvalue and consequent enterprise value;Determining free cash flows requires careful analysis of what forms part of working capital. In our analysis, working capitalhas been derived from the Victoria Foods balance sheets and information received from management during discussions;Deriving an equity value from an enterprise value requires a judgement on what forms debt in the pure sense as opposed tomere intercompany balances; andGiven the sensitivity of the valuation model to changes in the risk free rate and expected growth rate to perpetuity, inderiving the valuation range, a sensitivity analysis has been performed by increasing and reducing the calculated risk free rateand expected growth rate to perpetuity.

The CompCo valuation approach makes use of valuation multiples based on historical and forecast earnings, which were obtained fromcomparable companies in Africa.

There is one directly comparable Zimbabwe Stock Exchange listed grain milling and FMCG distribution company;We have also selected the multiples of regional companies engaged in grain milling and FMCG distribution. The businessmodels, markets, and financial performance of these companies maybe different from those of Victoria Foods. In addition theeconomies in which these companies operate in may have widely different economic, social and political factors influencingthem when compared to Victoria Foods and Zimbabwe; andRisk and market growth expectations in the different countries may differ from those on the ZSE which may result in higheror lower multiples.

4 Our methodology and procedures

5 Valuation Results and conclusion

In determining the value of Victoria Foods, two valuation methodologies were used. These are the Income Approach, in this case,the DCF methodology and the Market Approach, in this case the CompCo methodology. In the course of our analysis, we reliedupon financial and other information obtained from CFI's management team and from various public, financial and industry sources.Our conclusion is dependent on such information being accurate in all material respects.

The principal sources of information used in formulating our valuation opinion:

information and assumptions made available by and from discussions held with the management of CFI and Victoria Foods;Valuation multiples derived from comparable listed companies obtained from research on the internet, OneSource, 4traders.com, Thompson Reuters and Bloomberg;CFI and Victoria Food's management's input on the forecast financial statements for Victoria Foods as set out in Appendix Bof the valuation report; andVictoria Foods audited financial statements for the years ended 30 September 2010, 2011 and 2012;

We held discussions with CFI management and reviewed the Victoria Foods forecast financial statements and the basis of theassumptions therein including the prospects of the businesses. This review included:

an assessment of the recent historical performance to date as well as the reasonableness of the outlook assumed based ondiscussions with management; andpublicly available information relating to other companies in the grain milling sectors that we deemed to be relevant,including company announcements, analyst' reports and media articles.

Where practical, we have corroborated the reasonability of the information provided to us for the purpose of our opinion, includingpublicly available information, whether in writing or obtained in discussions with management.

In arriving at our opinion, we have,considered information made available by CFI management and from discussions held with the management of CFI andVictoria Foods;discussed the future prospects of Victoria Foods with management and considered the qualitative benefits of the potentialcapital raise transaction that will occur in Victoria Foods;assessed the long-term potential of Victoria Foods;evaluated the relative risks associated with Victoria Foods and the industry in which it operates;reviewed the methodologies available for performing valuations of businesses operating in this industry sector;compiled a detailed financial model valuing Victoria Foods ordinary shares using the forecast financial information preparedby the management of Victoria Foods and applied the assumptions of cost of capital and assumptions relating to yields onassets and liabilities, other revenues, cost increase and growth in assets; andperformed an additional valuation of Victoria Foods using a market comparable method using local and regional peers ofVictoria Foods .

Our procedures and enquiries did not constitute an audit in terms of International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly we cannotexpress an opinion on the financial data or other information used in arriving at our opinion.

Based on the work performed, the implied equity value of Victoria Foods ranges from a low of US$ 1,819,871 to a high of US$4,819,251 with the appropriate indicative value being US$ 3,000,000.

Notwithstanding this, we stress that the valuation would be materially different in the event that one or more of the fundamentalassumptions discussed earlier do not prove to be valid and should there be a fundamental improvement or deterioration in theZimbabwean economy. The valuation is a function of the assumptions incorporated within the valuation methodology. In particular,the valuation assumes that the future projections as indicated by management and set out in Appendix B of the valuation report arerealisable.

The true value negotiated between parties on a willing buyer willing seller basis may differ from this value as it is dependent uponconsiderations, including but not limited to, relative positions of strength, emotive issues, differing views on trading projections,growth potential, different assessments of risk, human resource issues, warranty conditions and other factors all of which can only bedetermined through the process of negotiation.

Yours sincerely,

Imara Corporate Finance Zimbabwe (Private) Limited
