                Results for the year ended 30th September 2001

                              (subject to audit)

Monteagle's objective is to achieve capital growth over the long term. A
number of exceptional and unrepeatable circumstances have come together over
the last 12 months to generate an extraordinary pleasing set of results.

Group profit before exceptional items and tax was US$2,952,000 compared to
US$1,342,000 in 2000, primarily due to the increase in profits of our
agriculture interests in Zimbabwe. Understandably, due to circumstances in
Zimbabwe, those results may not be repeatable in future years. Exceptional
profits have increased to US$6,450,000 (2000 - US$1,948,000) due to the sale
of our portfolios of listed investments. The Group profit attributable to
shareholders was US$7,584,000, which equates to earnings per share of 120.4 US
cents (2000 - 29.3 US cents). Headline earnings per share excluding
exceptional items and the tax thereon was 18.0 US cents (2000 - 6.9 US cents).



The key to the exceptional level of earnings this year was the decision taken
to sell all of our investments in shares listed on the US and South African
stock exchanges. This realised, as Exceptional profits, the increase in the
value of investments over cost which had been built up over a number of years.
The timing of our decision proved to be correct and most investments were sold
at satisfactory prices prior to the major decline in world stock markets. So
far we have reinvested approximately a third of our cash balances in blue chip
European and UK stocks which are currently showing a gain. We continue to
monitor stock markets and will reinvest the balance as opportunities occur.

The commercial agriculture & horticulture interests held through Conafex and
its associated company, Ariston Holdings Limited, had a very successful year,
despite the political and economic situation in Zimbabwe. Their profit
contribution before interest, exceptional items and tax more than doubled due
to the principal export crops of tobacco, tea and flowers all performing well.

Conafex has continued to diversify out of Zimbabwe with the acquisition of
minority stakes in a Rooibos and Honeybush herbal tea producer in South Africa
and a speciality tea packing business in the UK.

The importing, exporting and distribution businesses showed mixed results. The
turnover of our businesses trading non-perishable private label food products
on an international basis has increased by over 90% with volume increases in
both existing and new product lines. The higher contribution from these
businesses has more than offset a decline in the contribution from our South
African tool and machinery import and distribution business which suffered a
reduction in turnover of just over 10%, and the declining exchange rate also
contributed to reduced margins. Our smaller Australian tool and machinery
import and distribution business continues to grow both volumes and profits.

The returns from the Group's investment properties in California have
continued to grow. Lower returns, however, were seen from our properties in
South Africa where we had a reduction in occupancy rates.

Our share of the losses incurred by our Zimbabwean gold mining interests,
including our associate Falcon, were US$205,000 (2000 - US$118,000) as a
result of the deteriorating operating environment, inflation of over 100% and
the continuing low gold price.

We regard the hard currency cash flow from our investments to Luxembourg as a
crucial issue, particularly when considering the level of dividend to
recommend to shareholders. The dividend is being maintained at 8.5 US cents
per share for 2001 because of the exceptional results for the year, despite
limited cash flows received from our subsidiaries. The uncertainty over the
level of future remittances from our interests in Southern Africa due to
currency weaknesses and the political situation means that we cannot expect to
be able to maintain the dividend at the current level in 2002. Our budgets
indicate that shareholders should expect approximately 5.0 US cents as next
year's dividend.

Changes have been made to the Group structure during the year to enhance its
value in hard currency, and to increase assets available as security to the
European banks that finance our international trading operations. We expect
this to facilitate future growth in our import and export businesses.

We strive to achieve real growth in net assets per share in dollars and are
pleased to report that net assets, including investments at market value and
after deducting minority interests, have grown to US$33,281,000 (2000 -
US$32,211,000). Of these US$17,405,000, US$2.76per share, (2000 -
US$11,547,000) are outside Africa following the reorganisation of our Group
structure.

I would like to repeat the words I used last year in respect of our Zimbabwean
assets: 'Your board has carefully considered the carrying value of our
Zimbabwe assets and has decided to continue to incorporate them in to the
Group accounts at depreciated historic cost, translated at year end exchange
rates. It is, of course, not possible, in present circumstances, to estimate a
realistic realiseable value of our Zimbabwean assets. However, most of the
products produced by our interests in Zimbabwe have selling prices denominated
in hard currency and, to a certain extent, this improves their cashflows in
local currency terms in the current uncertain political and economic climate.'
The carrying value of these net assets at 30th September 2001 after deducting
minority interests has increased to US$13,471,000, US$2.14 per share, (2000 -
US$12,132,000) reflecting the undistributed profits of our farming interests.

We are confident that we can capitalise on our strong balance sheet in future
years now that we have increased our net assets outside Africa.

Notice of Meeting and Declaration of Dividend

NOTICE OF MEETING

According to the Company's Articles of Incorporation ('Articles'), the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholder's ('AGM') is required to be held on the last
Friday in the month of March. The Articles further state that if the AGM
cannot take place on that date, it should take place on the first preceding
day. Because Friday 29th March 2002 is Good Friday, the AGM should take place
on Thursday 28th March 2002. However, it was not considered that this date
would be convenient to shareholders and it has been decided to bring forward
the meeting. Accordingly the Annual General Meeting will take place on Tuesday
26th March 2002 at 4.00 p.m. at the registered office of the Company, 6 rue
Adolphe Fischer L-1520 Luxembourg.

A dividend of 8.5 US cents per share is proposed to be paid on 3rd May 2002 to
those shareholders registered at the close of business on 28th March 2002.

Copies of the annual report and accounts will be posted to shareholders in
February 2002.

Notes:
1. These preliminary results for the year ended 30th September 2001 and the
   balance sheet at that date, which are unaudited, have been prepared on the
   basis of accounting policies adopted for the period ended 30th September
   2000. These financial statements do not comply with the requirements of IAS
   29 (Financial reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies). The results, which
   have been reviewed by the Company's auditors, Deloitte & Touche S.A., are
   unaudited.

2. Net group capital expenditure in the year was US$177,000 (2000 - negative
   US$405,000); there were no capital expenditure commitments at 30th September
   2001 (2000 - US$ nil).

3. Bank loans and overdrafts of US$2,667,000 (2000: US$4,243,000) are included
   in current liabilities. Group long term finance is secured on various local
   properties and bears interest at local commercial rates.
