MD&A Highlights:

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Canaf Group Inc., (the “Company”) is incorporated in the Province of Alberta and wholly owns a company in South Africa, Quantum Screening and Crushing (Proprietary) Limited (“Quantum”). Quantum processes anthracite coal into de-volatised (calcined) anthracite for sale mostly to steel and ferromanganese manufacturers as a substitute product for coke.


OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK

The results for the year to October 31, 2013, reflect a continued improvement in the operating and financial performance of the company. The Company recorded record revenues of $14,969,633, a 37.6% increase over the prior year, despite a challenging external environment for the resources sector as a whole. The Company also recorded record profits and our net income after tax was up 256% over the previous year to $838,537; our gross margin also improved to 10.9%

During the past year, the management focused on driving up sales and increasing margins, and the Company is pleased to that this is reflected in the results. The Company significantly invested in its kilns by replacing an entire section of one kiln and replacing a rider ring, expenses that were written off in the year as maintenance and were funded through working capital. Total maintenance cost for the year was, $585,145, an increase of $362,071 compared to the previous year. As well as continuing to focus on maintaining positive free cash flow from Quantum, the Company is actively looking to expand into related businesses within the reluctant and anthracite market in South Africa through potential investments in existing operations and anthracite mines.

The Company remains confident that orders for its product of calcined anthracite will now remain strong, and the Company continues to receive strong interest in its product. The Company is now looking to widen its customer base and expects to send out two to three trial loads to new customers during the first quarter of the next fiscal year.

Calcined anthracite is considered as a more secure source of reductant as industries in South Africa become concerned at the future availability of coke. Over the past few years, high-quality anthracites, and calcined anthracite have gained more interest as a replacement to the more expensive reluctant, coke, in the sintering and smelting industries.

Mr. Christopher Way reports

CANAF ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2014

Canaf Group Inc. has released its financial statements, and management discussion and analysis for the three months ended Jan. 31, 2014.

Revenue for the three-month period revenue increased 7% to $3,254,723 from $3,031,276 for the same quarter the previous year. Net Profit After Tax and Non-Recurring items decreased to $0.16 million (2013, a profit of $0.17 million). During the quarter the South African Rand again saw its value depreciate against the USD.

During the quarter, the Company agreed terms to supply trial loads to two new customers, one of which was dispatched in March 2014. The outcome from the trials should be known by the end of April 2014, and the Company is hopeful that it will further expand its customer base, subsequently reducing its dependence on existing customers.

The Company can also confirm that the blast furnace reline works scheduled for ArcelorMittal's Newcastle facility have been approved. Work will commence in May 2014 and last for approximately 4 months. The Company is confident that any sales lost due to the shutdown will be re-allocated, either to existing or new customers. The Company sees the investment at ArcelorMittal's Newcastle facility as positive investment and expects the long- term demand for its product to increase above existing levels once the facility has been re-commissioned in September 2014.

As well as continuing to focus on growing positive free cash flow the Company is actively looking to expand into related businesses within the anthracite and coke market in South Africa, through potential investments in existing operations and anthracite mines.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK


The financial results for the last quarter ended January 31, 2014 reflect a 15% increase in net profit to $161,392, in comparison to the previous quarter. Revenue decreased 25% to $3,254,723.

During the quarter, the company invested approximately $17,000 by purchasing a new pick-up truck for its site operations. The Company also, agreed terms to supply trial loads of material to two new potential customers. Trials commenced during February and March 2014 and the outcome should be known by April and May this year.

The Company can also confirm that the blast furnace reline works scheduled for ArcelorMittal’s Newcastle facility has been approved. Work will commence in May 2014 and last for approximately 4 months. The Company is confidant that any sales lost due to the shutdown will be re-allocated, either to existing or new customers. The Company sees the investment at ArcelorMittal’s Newcastle facility as positive investment and expects the long-term demand for its product to increase above existing levels once the facility has been re-commissioned in September 2014.

As well as continuing to focus on maintaining positive free cash flow from Quantum, the Company is actively looking to expand into related businesses within the reductant and anthracite market in South Africa through potential investments in existing operations and anthracite mines.

The Company remains confident that orders for its product of calcined anthracite will remain strong, and the Company continues to receive strong interest in its product, as proven by the recent trial loads supplied to two new companies.

Calcined anthracite is considered as a more secure source of reductant as industries in South Africa become concerned at the future availability of coke. Over the past few years, high-quality anthracites, and calcined anthracite have gained more interest as a replacement to the more expensive reductant, coke, in the sintering and smelting industries.

Update on Ugandan Case against Kilembe Mines Limited

In August 2006, Canaf, then known as Uganda Gold Mining, announced the termination of any further investment into its Kilembe Copper-Cobalt Project in Uganda. Since 2007, the Company has been involved in a legal dispute with Kilembe Mines Limited, (“KML”), and in April 2009, successfully won an injunction preventing the sale and privatisation of the Kilembe Copper-Cobalt Project by the Government of Uganda. In January 2013, the high court of Uganda referred the case back to arbitration for settlement.

On May 29, 2013, a preliminary meeting was held between the Company, KML and the arbitrator. The Company can confirm that further meetings were scheduled for August 2013, after filings of amended statements of defense and claims had been submitted. Since the initial meeting however, and the recent award of a deal to a Chinese Consortium to manage and operate KML, the Company’s appointed Ugandan advocates are now seeking though the High Court of Uganda, for KML to ensure that assets and funds, sufficient to settle the Company’s claim against KML, are set aside before the disposal of KML; this is not to say that Canaf has settled with KML but is merely to
ensure that sufficient funds and assets are set aside by KML to settle with Canaf, should the arbitration be awarded in favor of the Company. During the year, the Company appointed SRK Consultants to prepare a brief document to quantify the ‘lost opportunity’ value of the termination of the Kilembe Project. During the next financial year the
Company will utilize this document to assist in the submission of a revised claim against KML.

The Company continues to pursue its claim in Uganda vigorously, however at this stage the Company is unable to give an indication of either the quantum or any likely date by which a settlement will be reached. The original claim, before costs, is for a money sum of US$10,370,368 as at the 24th January 2007. As much as a favorable award in arbitration would significantly benefit the Company, the Company continues to plan for expansion based on its cash generating operation in South Africa alone.

Found another great due diligence about CAF.V on QIS Capital. Only difference is that this DD was done just over a year ago. But after reading it, goes to show that the company has kept growing year after year even in these hard times. Also mentions how insiders are not allowed to buy shares at this time given a lawsuit against the Ugandan government, which could add $15 million to Canaf's books.

I have posted the link and DD below.

Since the report below, CAF has added $1 million dollars in net profits to the books, with 4/4 quarters since then being profitable. Some other costs have changed but it's roughly
all the same. But were still trading at the same price which makes no sense whatsoever.

The CEO did pickup some shares in a private transaction back in March, but I still don't think they are allowed to buy on the open market

15M$ LAWSUIT AGAINST THE UGANDA GOV.


Update on Ugandan Case against Kilembe Mines Limited (from Q1 2013 MD&A)

In August 2006, the Company announced the termination of any further investment into its Kilembe Copper-Cobalt Project in Uganda, due to a land ownership dispute with Kilembe Mines Limited. Since 2007, the Company has been involved in a legal dispute with Kilembe Mines Limited.

The Matter was referred to the high court, which in January 2013, referred it back to arbitration. Discussions between the parties are at an advanced stage with an arbitrator, and Canaf is hopeful that a financial settlement will be agreed, or otherwise the arbitrator will make an award, during the fiscal year end 31 October 2013. It is not possible at this stage to give an indication of either the quantum or any likely date by which a settlement will be reached, notwithstanding that Canaf hopes that the eventual outcome will be a positive one for its shareholders.

Note: All legal representation for the litigation and negotiations has been conducted by a Ugandan advocates practice on a no-win no-fee agreement with Canaf Group. The substantial amount from this settlement will enable the company to tackle several growth projects with expected material impact on the stock price.

CAF Insider/Institutional Holdings List. Total common shares held is 13,985,328 or 29.5% of total shares. Given the company's constant growth, I can easily see a share buyback occuring sooner than later, and with only 47.5 million shares outstanding, that mean we can only go up.

RBC report on Canaf Group Inc. CAF.V


Though CAF has outperformed its Coal peers over the past year, over the last three months it has lagged behind its peers.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION
Canaf Group Inc. is a junior mining resource company. The Company produces calcined anthracite, a product used as a substitute to coke in the manufacturing process of steel and manganese. The Company owns 100% of Quantum Screening and Crushing (Proprietary) Limited. Quantum processes anthracite coal using a method called calcining. Calcining is a process whereby the feedstock material is fed through a rotary kiln (at temperatures between 1,000 and 1,200 degrees centigrade) and de-volatilisation takes place - sulphur content is lowered and gases such as nitrogen are burnt off. Quantum is situated in Newcastle, KwaZulu Natal, in the South African Midlands. Quantum has two independent kilns, which include the Pre-heaters and the Main Rotary Kilns.

Where will CAF’s stock price be in a year?
Investors fix targets for most stocks by estimating future earnings per share and then applying a price-to-earnings multiple, also known as the P/E ratio. High and low price targets for the next fiscal year are estimated by applying the stock's current P/E multiple to the high and low estimates of the analysts covering the company, respectively.

Mr. Christopher Way reports

CANAF ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS Q2 2014

Canaf Group Inc. has released its financial statements, and management discussion and analysis for the three months ended April 30, 2014.

Revenue for the three-month period revenue decreased to $2,491,792 from $3,454,600 from the same quarter the previous year. Net Profit After Tax and Non-Recurring items decreased to $0.07 million (2013, a profit of $0.16 million). During the quarter the South African Rand again saw its value further depreciate against the USD.

The main cause of the decrease in revenue and net profit was the un-expected breakdown at one of the Company's main customer's manganese facilities. Subsequently, the Company suffered a reduction of approximately 60% of usual demand from that customer, during the quarter.

The Company is however pleased to confirm that sales and demand have returned back to normal levels, which will be represented in the results for the next 3-month period end 31 July, 2014. Furthermore, the surplus production that the Company expected to produce during the scheduled shutdown of ArcelorMittal's Newcastle facility has, so far to date, been re-allocated.

The Company continues to receive new enquiries in its coke replacement product and is confident that the demand will remain strong in the long-term. Subsequently, the Company is actively looking to engage with strategic partners in expanding its existing business.

As well as continuing to focus on growing positive free cash flow the Company is actively looking to expand into related businesses within the anthracite and coke market in South Africa, through potential investments in existing operations and anthracite mines.

The Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis can be viewed on Welcome to the SEDAR Web Site / Bienvenue au Site Web SEDAR or the Company's website, Document Moved. All reference to dollars herein are to US dollars.
