Monteagle is a financial holding company, incorporated in Luxembourg.  Its
objectives are to achieve long term capital growth by holding a broad range of
investments, predominantly blue chip equities listed in New York, and investment
properties in California, to balance its more volatile controlling interests in
South Africa and Zimbabwe.  These interests include importing, exporting,
property, commercial agriculture & horticulture, gold mining, and listed
investments.

This year, the inherent volatility arising from operating in Southern Africa has
enabled our import and distribution operations in South Africa to expand their
activities, but our commercial agriculture & horticulture and gold mining
businesses in Zimbabwe found it extremely difficult to maintain operations. 
Continuing sound performances from our property and investment portfolios have
helped to offset this volatility.

The importing, exporting and distribution businesses all showed improvements and
penetrated additional markets and product segments.  Turnover increased by 6.6%
and margins have recovered to 5.4% (1999 - 3.4%).  Returns from the Group's
investment properties have continued to grow, with a mixed performance from
properties in South Africa and solid performance from our properties in
California.  The commercial agriculture & horticulture interests held through
Conafex and our associated company, Ariston, had a challenging year, due to the
political and economic situation in Zimbabwe, nevertheless their profit before
interest, exceptional items and tax improved by 4%.  Record production levels
were achieved in the principal crops of tea, tobacco and flowers, however, the
Zimbabwe dollar exchange rate was fixed against the US dollar for most of the
year, and high local inflation combined with a weak Euro eroded margins.  The
contribution from our gold mining interests fell to US$118,000 (1999 -
US$927,000) as a result of the difficult operating environment in Zimbabwe and
the historically low gold price.  In the current uncertain markets our
portfolios of leading U.S. and South African shares, which do not include
technology and Nasdaq quoted stocks, increased in value by 16.77% with an
average yield of 2.83%.

The interest charge has fallen because of changes in the method of funding our
import and distribution businesses and a significant reduction in base rates in
South Africa.  This reduction has been substantially offset by higher interest
rates on seasonal borrowings by our agriculture & horticulture businesses in
Zimbabwe.

After exceptional items, which include profits realised from sales of fixed
assets, our Group profit before tax was US$3,290,000 compared to US$4,422,000 in
1999, primarily due to the reduced contribution from Gold mining mentioned above
and lower exceptional profits.  The tax charge for the year reduced
substantially because of the significantly lower profits in Zimbabwe.  Our
profit attributable to shareholders was US$1,845,000, the equivalent of earnings
per share of 29.3 US cents (1999 - 42.6 US cents).  Headline earnings per share
excluding exceptional items were 6.9 US cents (1999 - 2.3 US cents).

We regard hard currency cash flow from our investments to Luxembourg as a
significant issue, particularly when considering the level of dividend to
recommend to shareholders.  We are proposing an unchanged dividend of 8.5 US
cents per share for 2000.

Your board has carefully considered the carrying value of our Zimbabwe assets
and has decided to continue to incorporate them in Group accounts at depreciated
historic cost, translated at year end exchange rates.  It is, of course, not
possible in present circumstances, to estimate what a realistic realiseable
value of our Zimbabwean assets would be.  Most of the products produced by our
interests in Zimbabwe have selling prices denominated in hard currency and, to a
certain extent, this protects their cashflows in the current uncertain political
and economic climate.  The carrying value of these net assets at 30 September
2000 after deducting minority interests was US$12,132,000 (1999: 10,406,000).

As an investment company, we aim to achieve capital growth in terms of net
assets per share.  At 30 September 2000, taking our investments at market value,
our net assets were US$32,205,000 (1999 - US$31,626,000) equivalent to US$5.11
per share compared to US$5.02 per share a year earlier.

Our strategy, as set out in the first paragraph, has stood the test of time for
investors in the Third World.  The uncertain times in Southern Africa bring
opportunities as well as problems, but we are confident that we can capitalise
on our strong balance sheet, with net assets outside Africa of US$11,547,000
(US$1.83 per share).
