Managements Responsibility for Financial
Statements

The consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and
other financial information contained in the Annual Report have been prepared in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and are the
responsibility of the management of Rockwell. The financial information
presented elsewhere in the Annual Report is consistent with the data that is
contained in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial
statements, where necessary, include amounts which are based on the best
estimates and judgments of management.

In order to discharge managements responsibility for the
integrity of the financial statements, the Company maintains a system of
internal accounting controls. These controls are designed to provide reasonable
assurance that the Companys assets are safeguarded, transactions are executed
and recorded in accordance with managements authorization, proper records are
maintained and relevant and reliable financial information is produced. These
controls include maintaining quality standards in hiring and training of
employees, policies and procedures manuals, a corporate code of conduct and
ensuring that there is proper accountability for performance within appropriate
and well-defined areas of responsibility. The system of internal controls is
further supported by a compliance function, which is designed to ensure that we
and our employees comply with securities legislation and conflict of interest
rules.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing
managements performance of its responsibilities for financial reporting and
internal control. The Audit Committee, which is composed of non-executive
directors, meets with management as well as the external auditors to ensure that
management is properly fulfilling its financial reporting responsibilities to
the Directors who approve the consolidated financial statements. The external
auditors have full and unrestricted access to the Audit Committee to discuss the
scope of their audits, the adequacy of the system of internal controls and
review financial reporting issues.

The consolidated financial statements have been audited by KPMG
Inc, the independent registered chartered accountants, in accordance with
Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

Report on Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Rockwell Diamonds
Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Rockwell Diamonds Inc. as of February 28, 2009, and the related consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss, accumulated comprehensive loss
and deficit, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended February 28,
2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Rockwell Diamonds Inc. as of February 28, 2009 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the year ended February 28, 2009.

Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in
certain significant respects from US generally accepted accounting principles.
Information relating to the nature and effect of such material differences is
presented in note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered significant losses from
operations in the current year and continues to incur losses subsequent to year
end and has a risk that cash and working capital will not be sufficient to fund
the continuing losses that raise substatial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company
has adopted new accounting policies for capital disclosures, financial
instruments disclosures and presentation, going concern disclosures and
inventories as required by die Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants.

|   | The Company incurred losses of $13 million during the
      year ended February 28, 2009 and continues to incur losses subsequent to
      year end. Although the Company has reduced costs substantially, sales of
      diamonds have also decreased. The risk that cash and working capital will
      not be sufficient to fund the continuing losses indicates that a material
      uncertainty exists which may cast substantial doubt on the ability of the
      Company to continue as a going concern. The directors believe that the

The directors have commenced plans to
raise financing, and the following plans have been considered to raise these
funds:

| | • | Private placement
| | - | -----------------
| | • | Prospectus       
| | • | Rights offering  

The directors have started the process
towards exercising either a rights offering or a private placement, and have
identified and communicated with current investors and potential new investors
to ensure that the desired investment is raised.

Accordingly, the financial statements
have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies applicable to a going
concern. Should the Company and its subsidiaries be unsuccessful in raising the
additional funds of US$4 million, they may be unable to realise their assets and
discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business. If the going
concern basis is not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements,
then significant adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets
and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet
classifications used.

Repairs and maintenance expenditures
are charged to operations as incurred. Significant improvements and major
replacements which extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized as
incurred.

(f)      Mineral property
interests

The acquisition costs of mineral
properties are capitalized until the property is placed into production, sold,
or abandoned, or when management has determined that there has been an
impairment in value. Such acquisition costs are amortized over the estimated
life of the property, based on the unit of production method, or written off to
operations if the property is abandoned, allowed to lapse, or if there is little
prospect of further work being carried out by the Company.

Mineral property acquisition costs
include the cash consideration and the fair market value of common shares, based
on the trading price of the shares, on the date of issue or as otherwise
provided under the agreed terms for the mineral property interest.

Exploration expenditures and option
payments incurred prior to the determination of the feasibility of mining
operations are charged to operations as incurred. Exploration expenditures
incurred subsequent to the mining operations which do not increase production or
extend the life of operations are expensed in the period incurred.

Administrative expenditures are
expensed in the period incurred.

The amount presented for mineral
property interests represents costs incurred to date and accumulated acquisition
costs, less write-downs, and does not necessarily reflect present or future
values.

An impairment review of mineral
property interests is carried out when there is an indication that these may be
impaired by comparing the carrying amount of the interest to its estimated
recoverable amount. Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying
amount an impairment charge is included in expenses in order to reduce the
carrying amount of mineral property interest to its fair value.

(g)      Financial instruments

All financial assets and liabilities
are recognized when the entity becomes a party to the contract creating the
asset or liability. All financial instruments are classified into one of the
following categories: held for trading, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables,
available-for-sale financial assets, or other financial liabilities. Initial and
subsequent measurement and recognition of changes in the value of financial
instruments depends on their initial classification:

| | • | Held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, and
      other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and
      subsequently measured at amortized cost. Amortization of premiums or
      discounts and losses due to impairment are included in current period net
      earnings.

        treatment in which case gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive

initially at fair value and the resulting costs are capitalized to the carrying
value of the related asset. In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for
the accretion of the discount and any changes in the amount or timing of the
underlying future cash flows. The asset retirement cost is amortized to
operations over the life of the asset. Changes resulting from revisions to the
timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows are
recognized as an increase or a decrease in the carrying amount of the liability,
and the related asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying
amount of the related long-lived asset. In the event the required decrease in
the asset retirement cost is in excess of the carrying value, the excess amount
is recorded as a change in estimate in the statement of operations.

      Dollars unless otherwise stated)                                                      

(i)     
Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including mineral
properties, property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset
may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured
by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted
future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is
recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented
in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the
fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer amortized. Previously
recognized impairment losses are not reversed if the fair value subsequently
increases.

As at February 28, 2009, the Company
completed an impairment analysis which considered the indicators of impairment
in accordance with Section 3063, Impairment of Long-lived Assets as well as
EIC-126, Accounting by Exploration Companies for Exploration Costs and AcG-11,
Enterprises in the Development Stage. The Company prepared cash flow forecasts
for the mine and development projects using price assumptions reflecting
prevailing diamond prices and analysts' consensus forecasts, current
life-of-mine plans and forecast operating cost profiles. The analysis was based
on the life of mining properties, using long-term price assumptions of US$968,
US$824 and US$604 per carat for the Saxendrift, Klipdam and Holpan mines
respectively as well as a long-term foreign exchange of US$1 to ZAR 8.8. Sales
and production volumes were set at 20% below forecast. Other assumptions used in
determining whether impairment existed include: (a) Inflation rate of 5%, (b)
Prime lending rate of 12%, (c) Finance lease periods of 36 months, (d) No
increases in salaries and wages, (e) Royalty payments of 5%, (f) Fuel and oil
increases of 2.5%, and (g) Electricity increases of 27.5% .

The undiscounted cashflows were greater
than the carrying value of the long lived assets and thus, a comparison to fair
value was not required.

The Company identified a portion of
assets at Saxendrift, H.C. Van Wyk, and Durnpike whose net asset values did not
accurately reflect the expected benefits of their remaining useful lives. These
assets were written down by a total amount of $2,590,958.

Management estimates of mineral prices,
recoverable reserves, and operating, capital and reclamation costs used in
impairment tests are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may affect
the recoverability of mineral property costs. Although management has made its
best estimate of these factors, it is possible that changes could occur in the
future that could adversely affect managements estimate of the net cash flow
from its assets.

(j)     
Variable interest entities

Variable interest entities (VIE) are
entities in which equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest
or the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to
finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support
provided by other parties. The Company consolidates the accounts of VIEs where
it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary, defined as
the party that receives the majority of the expected residual returns and/or
absorbs the majority of the entitys expected losses.

(k)     
Foreign currency translation

During the year, the Company classified
its foreign operations as self-sustaining operations due to the Company reaching
a stage in the development of its foreign operations where the foreign
subsidiaries are now able to fund their operations from internally generated
cash flows. In prior years, these foreign subsidiaries were considered
integrated due to funding provided by the parent to fund its operations. The tax
effected loss on changing non-monetary assets and liabilities from the
historical exchange rate to the current rate was $13,499,733. During the year,
an additional income of $90,350 was recorded, resulting in an accumulated other
comprehensive loss on translation of self-sustaining foreign operations of
$13,409,383.

Self-sustaining operations are foreign
operations that are financially and operationally independent of the reporting
enterprise such that the exposure to exchange rate changes is limited to the
reporting enterprise's net investment in the foreign operation and which have a
functional currency different from the entity. Assets and liabilities of
self-sustaining operations are translated into the reporting currency at the
exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items
(including depreciation and amortization) are translated into the reporting
currency at the exchange rate in effect on the dates on which such items are
recognized in income during the period or appropriate averages.

For self-sustaining operations exchange
gains or losses arising on the translation from its functional currency to the
Companys reporting currency are presumed not to have a direct effect on the
activities of the reporting enterprise and are incorporated in the financial
statements of the reporting enterprise as a separate component of shareholders
equity. As the Companys reporting currency is the Canadian dollar gains or
losses on translation from functional to reporting currency are recorded in
other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate component of shareholders
equity.

(l)      Share capital

Common shares issued for mineral
property interests are recorded at their fair market value based upon the
trading price of the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on the date of
issue or as otherwise provided under the terms of the agreement to issue the
shares. Share issue costs are deducted from share capital.

(m)      Stock-based
compensation

The Company has a share option plan
which is described in note 11(b). The Company records all stock-based payments
granted using the fair value method.

Under the fair value method,
stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more
reliably measurable, and are charged to operations over the vesting period, with
an offsetting amount to contributed surplus. Consideration received on the
exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related
contributed surplus is transferred to share capital.

(n)     
Income taxes

The Company uses the asset and
liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future
income tax assets and liabilities are computed based on differences between the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their
corresponding tax values, using the enacted or substantively
enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Future tax assets are recognized to the
extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized. The
valuation of future income tax assets is adjusted, if necessary, by the use of a
valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount.

(o)     
Loss per share

Basic income (loss) per share is
calculated by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted income (loss) per share is
calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of
diluted income (loss) per share assumes that the proceeds receivable upon
exercise of dilutive share purchase options and warrants are used to repurchase
common shares at the average market price during the period.

Diluted loss per share has not been
presented separately as the effect of outstanding options and warrants would be
anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

(p)     
Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring
the use of management estimates relate to the impairment of long lived assets,
rates for depletion and amortization, determination of reclamation obligations
and the assumptions used in determining stock-based compensation expense. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

(q)      Comprehensive Income
(Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is the change
  in the Companys shareholders equity that results from transactions
  and other events from other than the Companys shareholders and includes
  items that would not normally be included in net income (loss), such as unrealized
  gains or losses on available-for-sale investments. Certain gains and losses
  that would otherwise be recorded as part of net income (loss) are to be presented
  in other accumulated comprehensive income (loss) until it is considered appropriate
  to recognize into net income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive income
  (loss) is presented as a new category in shareholders equity.

(r)    
 Comparative figures

Prior years comparative figures have
not been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted for the current
year.

|    | Effective March 1, 2008, the Company adopted the
      following new accounting standards issued by the Canadian Institute of
      Chartered Accountants (CICA). These new standards have been adopted on a
      prospective basis with no restatement to prior period financial
      statements.

(i)        Section 1535 
Capital Disclosures

This standard requires disclosure of
  an entity's objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, quantitative
  data about what the entity regards as capital and whether the entity has complied
  with any externally imposed capital requirements and, if it has not complied,
  the consequences of such non-compliance. As at February 28, 2009, the Company
  is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements other than its restricted
  cash (note 7(a)) and its overdraft facility (note 16).

The Company's primary objectives when
managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders, and to
have sufficient funds on hand for business opportunities as they arise. The
Company considers the components of shareholders equity, as well as its cash
and cash equivalents, and bank indebtedness as capital. The Companys investment
policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing
investments, having maturity dates of three months or less from the date of
acquisition, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

The Company manages the capital
structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic
conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company
may issue new shares through private placements, issue debt, or return capital
to shareholders, in order to maintain or adjust the capital structure.

In order to facilitate the management
of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets
that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful
capital deployment and general industry conditions.

There were no changes to the Companys
approach to capital management during the year ended February 28, 2009 and the
Company expects it will be able to raise sufficient capital resources to carry
out its plans of operations for fiscal 2010 as disclosed in note 1.

(ii)       Financial Instruments
 Disclosure (Section 3862) and Presentation (Section 3863)

These standards replace CICA 3861,
Financial Instruments  Disclosure and Presentation. They increase the
disclosures previously required, which will enable users to evaluate the
significance of financial instruments for an entity's financial position and
performance, including disclosures about fair value. In addition, disclosure is
required of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks
arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures
about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The quantitative disclosures
must provide information about the extent to which the entity is exposed to
risk, based on information provided internally to the entitys key management
personnel.

The carrying value of the Companys
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, trade
receivable from a related party, reclamation deposits, bank indebtedness,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to/from related parties
approximate their fair values.

Financial Instrument Risk Exposure
and Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying
degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risk, including credit
risk, liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, interest risk and diamond price
risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential
loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet
its contractual obligations. The Companys credit risk is primarily attributable
to its liquid financial assets including cash and equivalents, restricted cash,
accounts receivable and trade receivable from a related party. The carrying
value, which approximates fair value, of the Companys cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and trade receivable from a related party
represent the maximum exposure to credit risk.

The Company limits exposure to credit
risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash and equivalents
with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company does not have
financial assets that are invested in asset backed commercial paper.

The Company's minimize its credit risk
by settling the receivables on its diamond sales in the month following the
sale.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the
Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. As
discussed in note 1, the Company is confident that it will be able to raise
sufficient capital in order to meet short term business requirements, after
taking into account cash flows from operations and the Companys holdings of
cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes that these sources will be
sufficient to cover the likely requirements for the foreseeable future. The
Companys cash and equivalents are invested in business accounts which are
available on demand for the Companys programs, and which are not invested in
any asset backed deposits/investments.

The Company operates in South Africa.
Like other foreign entities operating there, the Company is subject to currency
exchange controls administered by the South African Reserve Bank, that country's
central bank. A significant portion of the Company's funding structure for its
South African operations consists of advancing loans to its South Africa
incorporated subsidiaries and it is possible the Company may not be able to
acceptably repatriate such funds once those subsidiaries are able to repay the
loans or repatriate other funds such as operating profits should any develop.
The repatriation of cash held in South Africa is permitted upon the approval of
the South African Reserve Bank. Cash balances in South Africa are the Rand
balances disclosed below.

Foreign Exchange Risk

In the normal course of business, the
Company enters into transactions for the purchase of supplies and services
denominated in South African Rand (ZAR). In addition, the Company has cash and
certain liabilities denominated in ZAR. As a result, the Company is subject to
foreign exchange risk from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company
has not entered into any derivative or other financial instruments to mitigate
this foreign exchange risk.

The exposure of the Companys cash and
cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and amounts due from
related parties to foreign exchange risk is as follows:

|Currency               |   | February 28, 2009 |  |   | February 29, 2008 | 
|---------------------- | - | ----------------- |  | - | ----------------- | 
|South African Rand     | $ | 10,082,048        |  | $ | 16,362,773        | 
|Other                  |   | 19,649            |  |   | 1,127,790         | 
|Total Financial Assets | $ | 10,101,697        |  | $ | 17,490,563        | 

The exposure of the Companys bank
  indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to related
  parties and capital lease obligations to foreign exchange risk is as follows:

|Currency                          |   | February 28, 2009 |  |   | February 29, 2008 | 
|--------------------------------- | - | ----------------- |  | - | ----------------- | 
|South African Rand                | $ | 16,853,686        |  | $ | 18,909,003        | 
|Total
      Financial Liabilities | $ | 16,853,686        |  | $ | 18,909,003        | 

Sensitivity analysis:

A 10 percent change of the Canadian
dollar against the ZAR at February 28, 2009 would have changed net loss by
$659,120. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest
rates, remain constant.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is subject to interest rate
risk with respect to its investments in cash and cash equivalents. The Companys
policy is to invest cash at floating rates of interest and cash reserves are to
be maintained in cash equivalents in order to maintain liquidity, while
achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. Fluctuations in interest rates
when the cash equivalents mature impact interest income earned.

The Company has capital lease
obligations with several financial institutions as detailed in note 8. The
capital leases bear interest at rates linked to the prevailing prime rate of the
relative financial institution, and are subject to interest rate change risk.

|For the year ended February 28, 2009, the nine months ended

Sensitivity analysis:

A 10 percent change of the prime rate
for the year ended February 28, 2009 would have changed net loss by $159,200.
This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign exchange
rates, remain constant.

Diamond price risk

The value of the Company's mineral
resource properties is dependent on the price and the outlook of diamonds.

For the past several months, the
international diamond market has softened as a consequence of the credit crunch
and the volatility and uncertainty in the banking and financial market sectors.
Diamond demand and prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond
the control of the Company, including worldwide economic trends, worldwide
levels of diamond discovery and production and the level of demand for, and
discretionary spending on, luxury goods such as diamonds and jewelry. Low or
negative growth in the worldwide economy, prolonged credit market disruptions or
activities creating disruptions in economic growth could result in decreased
demand for diamonds, thereby negatively affecting the price of diamonds.
Similarly, a substantial increase in the worldwide level of diamond production
could also negatively affect the price of diamonds.

The profitability of the Company's
operations is highly correlated to the market price of diamonds. If diamond
prices decline for a prolonged period below the cost of production of the
Company's operating mines, it may not be economically feasible to continue
production.

(iii)Amendments to Section 1400  Going Concern

CICA 1400, General Standards of
Financial Statement Presentation, was amended to include requirements to assess
and disclose an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys
assessment and disclosure of its ability to continue as a going concern are
disclosed in note 1.

(iv)     
Inventories (Section 3031)

In June 2007, the CICA issued Section
3031  Inventories which replaces Section 3030 and establishes standards for
the measurement and disclosure of inventories. This section applies to fiscal
years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. The main features of the new
section are:

| | • | Measurement at the lower of
        cost and net realizable value;                                                                                                                                                         
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
| | • | Cost of items that are not ordinarily
        interchangeable, and goods and services produced and segregated for specific
        projects, assigned by using a specific identification of their individual
        costs;
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
| | • | Consistent use of either first-in
        first-out or weighted average cost formula to measure the cost of other
        inventories; and                                                                                 
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
| | • | Reversal of previous write-downs
        to net realizable value when there is a subsequent increase in the value
        of inventories.                                                                                  

Upon adoption of this standard, the
Company concluded that there were no material differences between the new
standard and the Companys current accounting policy for its diamond and
supplies inventory as disclosed in note 3 (d).

|(b) | Accounting Policies Not Yet
  Adopted
|--- | -------------------------------------

(i) International Financial Reporting
  Standards ("IFRS")

In 2006, the Canadian Accounting
Standards Board ("AcSB") published a new strategic plan that will significantly
affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB
strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) over an expected five year transitional
period. In February 2008, the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date
for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canadian GAAP. The date is
for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning
on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of March 1, 2011 will require
the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for
the year ended February 28, 2011. The Company is currently in the process of
developing an IFRS conversion plan and evaluating the impact of the transition
to IFRS.

(ii)Goodwill and
Intangibles  Section 3064

The AcSB issued CICA Handbook Section
3064 which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and
Section 3450, Research and Development Costs. This new section establishes
standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of
goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets.
Standards concerning goodwill remain unchanged from the standards included in
the previous Section 3062. The section applies to the Companys 2010 fiscal
year. Section 3064 is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial
statements.

(iii)EIC 173  Credit
Risk and the Fair value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The AcSB issued EIC-173 which requires
the Company to consider its own credit risk as well as the credit risk of its
counterparty when determining the fair value of financial assets and
liabilities, including derivative instruments. The standard is effective for the
first quarter of fiscal 2010 and is required to be applied retrospectively
without restatement of prior periods. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

(iv) EIC 174  Mining Exploration
Costs

The AcSB issued EIC-174, Mining
Exploration Costs which provides guidance to mining enterprises related to the
measurement of exploration costs and the conditions that a mining enterprise
should consider when determining the need to perform an impairment review of
such costs. The standard is effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and
is required to be applied retrospectively without restatement of prior periods.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its
consolidated financial statements.

(v) Business
Combinations/Consolidated Financial Statements/Non-Controlling Interests

The AcSB adopted CICA sections 1582,
Business Combinations, 1601, Consolidated Financial Statements, and 1602,
Non-Controlling Interests which superseded current sections 1581, Business
Combinations and 1600 Consolidated Financial Statements. These new sections
replace existing guidance on business combinations and consolidated financial
statements to harmonize Canadian accounting for business combinations with IFRS.
These Sections will be applied prospectively to business combinations for which
the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning
      on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier adoption is permitted. If an entity
      applies these Sections before January 1, 2011, it is required to disclose
      that fact and apply each of the new sections concurrently. The Corporation
      is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these changes on its
consolidated financial statements.

On April 11, 2008 the Company completed
  the MORO acquisition. Registration and transfer of Saxendrift Mine Pty (Ltd)
  and the Saxendrift mining right, as well as prospecting rights in respect of
  the Kwartelspan, Zwemkuil-Mooidraai and part of the Remhoogte-Holsloot projects
  were obtained. In March 2009, the Niewejaarskraal mining rights were acquired
  subsequent to year end.

The results of the Saxendrift
operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the
date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the total purchase
consideration of the Saxendrift assets:

The allocation of purchase price is
based on managements estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, April 11, 2008.

Effective July 1, 2008, a Black
Economic Empowerment (BEE) group, Liberty Lane Investments (Pty) Ltd (Liberty
Lane) acquired a shareholding of 26% by subscribing for shares in Saxendrift.
The acquisition by Liberty Lane was financed via loans provided by Rockwell RSA
to Liberty Lane. The Company has determined that its 74% interest in Saxendrift
qualifies as a variable interest entity (VIE) due to certain voting
arrangements required under the Saxendrift shareholders agreement. The Company
has also determined the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it is
most closely related to the activities and has primary exposure to the expected
losses of the VIE. Consequently, the Company has consolidated 100% of the
results of operations of Saxendrift since the date of acquisition. Upon full
repayment of the outstanding loans by Liberty Lane, the Company will reduce the
consolidation of Saxendrifts results of operations to 74%.

The Company continues to maintain good
standing with its BEE partner and is operating under the terms of its BEE
agreement, including the appointment of a director to its Board.

As at February 28, 2009, the Company
has a commitment to pay ZAR27.5 million ($3.4 million)in cash to Trans
Hex for the remaining Niewejaarskraal mining rights and part of the
Remhoogte-Holsloot projects. The Company has placed $2.7 million in trust toward
application of this remaining payment and will be released to Transhex upon the
anticipated grant of Ministerial Consent to the cession of each of the
Outstanding Mining Rights to the Company and registration of cession of such
rights in its name.

The Holpan/Klipdam Property and the
Wouterspan Property were initially owned by the H.C. Van Wyk Diamante Trust
(Van Wyk Trust), a business trust registered in South Africa. The Van Wyk
Trust held 99% of HC Van Wyk Diamonds Ltd (HCVW), a private South African
company, and 99% of Klipdam Mining Company Limited (Klipdam), a private South
African company. The remaining 1% of HCVW and Klipdam was owned by nominees of
the Van Wyk Trust, HCVW and Klipdam, and were collectively referred to as The
Van Wyk Diamond Group of companies (VWDG). To facilitate Durnpikes initial
acquisition of 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of HCVW and 51% of the
issued and outstanding shares of Klipdam (the Acquisition Interest), the
Company advanced a non-interest bearing loan to Durnpike of ZAR50 million
(Cdn$7.8 million) and committed to pay an additional ZAR30 million ($4.5
million) to the Van Wyk Trust on July 7, 2007. This loan was secured by a pledge
of Durnpikes Acquisition Interest. The payment of ZAR30 million was made to the
Van Wyk Trust in June 2007.

Durnpike also had the option to
increase its shareholding in HCVW to a 51% controlling interest by (a)
subscribing for additional shares in HCVW for the amount of ZAR1 million
($160,000) and (b) introducing a ZAR24 million ($3.9 million) working capital
loan into VWDG. These conditions were met in January 2007.

On January 31, 2007, all the conditions
precedent to the completion of the Acquisition as per the Definitive Agreement
were fulfilled. The Company also received the necessary regulatory approvals in
Canada and South Africa.

During the year ended May 31, 2007, a
black economic empowerment (BEE) group, African Vanguard Resources (Pty) Ltd.,
the holding company of Richtrau No 136 (Pty) Ltd, purchased 15% of the VWDG from
the Van Wyk Trust for an amount of ZAR22.5 million ($3.4 million).

The Company also entered into an
Exchange Agreement with the Van Wyk Trust to acquire the remaining shareholding
of VWDG for ZAR60 million ($7.6 million), payable in Common Shares. On March 1,
2008, the Company ratified the Exchange Agreement and increased its ownership of
HCVW and Klipdam by 34%, resulting in an 85% interest, by issuing 14,285,715
common shares of the Company pursuant to the Definitive Agreement and thereby reducing the non-controlling interest to 15%. On June 1, 2008, the BEE group increased its shareholding from 15% to 26% by subscribing for an additional 11% shares in
HCVW and Klipdam, thereby reducing the Companys interest to 74%. This additional 11% is at a subscription price of ZAR17.5 million and is funded by Rockwell RSA, a subsidiary of the Company. Consequently, the Company has consolidated 85% of
the results of operations of HCVW and Klipdam until the outstanding loans by the BEE group are fully repaid, at which time the Company will then reduce the consolidation of HCVW and Klipdams results of operations to 74%.

|    | Under the Midamines Agreement, Durnpike agreed to certain minimum royalty payments being made to Midamines, and Midamines undertook several obligations in favour of Durnpike including that of procuring and facilitating
Durnpikes access to the Kwango River Project site. These royalties took the form of a series of recurring minimum royalty payments of US$1,200,000 per annum (commencing on December 31, 2007).

|    | During the first quarter of 2008, pursuant to an amending agreement to the Midamines Agreement, the Company paid consideration of $600,000 to Midamines in order to increase the size of the concession (Permit 331). As part of
such amending agreement, Midamines waived its right to payment of the abovementioned US$1,200,000 royalty payment on December 31, 2007. Subsequently, and pursuant to Midamines persistent breach of material provisions of the Midamines
Agreement (coupled with its failure to remedy such instances of breach notwithstanding notice to do so), Durnpike cancelled the Midamines Agreement and claimed damages.

|    | As provided for in the Durnpike Acquisition Definitive Agreement, the Company executed an agreement in relation to the acquisition of control of the mineral rights relating to the Galputs Minerale Project (Galputs). In
order for the Company to fully control the Galputs minerals rights, the South African Department of Minerals and Energy (DME) had to give its final written approval to transfer of the shares of Galputs from Virgilia Investments Inc. to
the Company on or before May 31, 2008. Since no written approval had been
      received from the DME by May 31, 2008, the provisions of the agreement
      shall not be enforced and as a result all parties have been restored to a
      position prior to entering the agreement.

The rehabilitation provision is based
on an independent professional surveyors measurement of those mined areas which
need to be rehabilitated at year-end.

These measurements determine the volume
of material needed to reclaim the mined areas. The liability is calculated by
applying a cost of ZAR4.00 ($0.51) for each cubic meter measured, and has been
determined with reference to plant, fuel and labour usage and has been found
acceptable by the Department of Mineral and Energy Affairs.

As required by regulatory authorities,

|    | In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Forces (EITF) reached a consensus in EITF 04-2 that mineral interests should be considered tangible assets. On April 30, 2004, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position
(FSP) amending SFAS 141 and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to provide that certain mineral use rights are considered tangible assets and that mineral use rights should be accounted based on their
substance.

|    | In March 2004, in EITF 04-3 Mining Assets: Impairment and Business Combinations, the EITF reached a consensus that an entity should include the cash flows associated with value beyond proven and probable reserves in
estimates of future cash flows (both undiscounted and discounted) used for determining whether a mining asset is impaired under Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

|    | Under U.S. GAAP, the recoverability of capitalized mineral properties exploration expenditures are generally considered insupportable until a commercially mineable deposit is determined; therefore, all mineral properties
exploration expenditures are expenses as incurred. As the Company does not have reports on proven and probable reserves on any of its mineral properties, all exploration expenditures incurred, other than its acquisition costs, and its other mineral
properties have been expensed as incurred.

Canadian GAAP permits bank advances to
be included in the determination of cash and cash equivalents in the
consolidated statements of cash flows. In certain circumstances US GAAP requires
that bank advances be reported as financing cash flows. As a result, under US
GAAP, the total decrease in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period
would decrease by $Nil (2008 - $Nil; 2007 Increase by $529,308).

Stock based compensation

In December 2004, Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123 (Revised 2006), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which is a
revision of SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS 123R
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees". SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income
statement based on their fair values. In calculating compensation to be
recognized, SFAS 123R requires the Company to estimate future forfeitures. Prior
to adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company's accounting for stock based compensation
for US GAAP purposes was consistent with that used for Canadian GAAP. For
Canadian GAAP purposes, the Company uses the fair value method to account for
all stock option grants but accounts for forfeitures as they occur, as permitted
by Canadian GAAP.

Based on the Company's historical stock
option forfeiture rates, the expense that would be recognized for US GAAP
purposes under SFAS 123R is not materially different from that recorded for
Canadian GAAP purposes.

Income taxes

Under Canadian GAAP, future tax assets
and liabilities may be recorded at substantively enacted tax rates. Under US
GAAP, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at enacted tax rates.
There were no significant differences between
enacted and substantively enacted tax rates for the periods presented.

FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48:
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB
Statement No.109, was adopted by the Company on June 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. The interpretation requires that the Company recognize the impact of
a tax position in the financial statements if the position is more likely than
not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.
FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. In accordance with the
provisions of FIN 48, any cumulative effect resulting from the change in
accounting principle is to be recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance
of deficit. The adoption of FIN 48 did not result in a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Impact of recent United States
accounting pronouncements:

| | (i)   | In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised
      2007), Business Combinations,(SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) amends
      the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and
      measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the
      liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the
      goodwill acquired. It expands the definition of a business and a business
      combination; requires recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed,
      and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date;
      requires acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs to be
      recognized separately from the business combination and expensed as
      incurred; requires in- process research and development to be capitalized
      at fair value as an intangible asset; and requires that changes in
      accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income
      tax uncertainties after the measurement period be recognized as a
      component of provision for taxes. SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure
      requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects
      of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the Companys
      2010 fiscal year. Therefore, Company will apply SFAS 141(R) prospectively
      to all business combinations subsequent to March 1, 2009.

| | (ii)  | In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
      ("FSP") SFAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP SFAS
      157-2"). FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157, "Fair
      Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157") to fiscal years beginning after November
      15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except
      those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
      statements on a recurring basis. As a result of adoption of FSP SFAS
      157-2, the Company adopted SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and
      non-financial liabilities in effective March 1, 2008. However, SFAS 157
      did not result in any material measurement impact on the consolidated
      financial statements.

| | (iv)   | In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
      Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an
      amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS
      160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-
      controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
      subsidiary. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly
      identify and distinguish between the controlling and non-controlling
      interests and requires the separate disclosure of income attributable to
      controlling and non-controlling interests. SFAS 160 is effective for the
      Companys 2009 fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
      of adoption of SFAS No. 160 but does not expect adoption to have a
      material impact on results of operations, cash flows or financial
      position, although it will result in certain retrospective adjustments
      including the presentation of non-controlling interest as a component of
      shareholders equity.

| | (v)    | In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
      Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS
      161).FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative
      instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about
      how and why an entity uses derivatives instruments, how derivative
      instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys operating results,
      financial position, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for the Companys
      2010 fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
      adoption of SFAS No. 161 but does not expect adoption to have a material

| | (vi)   | In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles
      Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May
      Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)"
      ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible
      debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on
      conversion to separately account for the liability and equity components
      of those instruments by allocating the proceeds from the issuance between
      the liability component and the embedded conversion option. This standard
      is effective for the Companys 2010 fiscal year. The Company is currently
      reviewing the provisions of this standard.

| | (vii)  | In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The
      Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS No.

      identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting
      principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented
      in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
      for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following
      the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company
      Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The
      Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
      Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of
      SFAS No. 162 but does not expect adoption to have a material impact on
      results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

      Transactions Are Participating Securities ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"). FSP EITF
      03-6-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain
      non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and

| | (ix) | In June 2008, the FASB issued EITF 07-5, "Determining
      Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own
      Stock" ("EITF 07-5"). EITF 07-5 provides guidance in assessing whether an
      equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an
      entity's own stock for purposes of determining whether the appropriate
      accounting treatment falls under the scope of SFAS 133, "Accounting For
      Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and/or EITF 00-19,
      "Accounting For Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
      Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock". EITF 07-5 is effective for
      financial statements issued for the Companys 2010 fiscal year. The
      Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this standard but does
      not expect the adoption of EITF 07-5 to have a material effect on its
      consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial
    position.

| | (x)  | In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent
      Events (SFAS No. 165). This new standard is intended to establish
      general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur
      after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or
      are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through
      which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that
      datethat is, whether that date represents the date the financial
      statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure
      should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not
      evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial
      statements being presented.

| | (xi) | On April 25, 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position
      (FSP) Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets that amends
      the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension
      assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible
      asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
      The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful
      life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period
      of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under
      FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other
      U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). FSP FAS 142-3 is
      effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
      December 15, 2008 and is effective for the Companys 2010 fiscal year.
      Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement
      would have on the Companys financial position, cash flows or results of
      operations.

|    | In connection with the acquisition of Saxendrift in note
      7(a), one of the assets purchased from Trans Hex, with a carrying value of
      $6,257,000 is the subject of a dispute between Trans Hex and a third
      party, which claims ownership in a certain plant. Although the Company is
      not subject to this dispute and cannot determine the likelihood of the
      outcome, the Company has a warranty claim with Trans Hex should the third
      party be successful with its claim against Trans Hex.

|    | During the first quarter of 2008, pursuant to an amending
      agreement to the Midamines Agreement, the Company paid consideration of
      $600,000 to Midamines in order to increase the size of the concession
      (Permit 331). As part of such amending agreement, Midamines waived its
      right to payment of the abovementioned US$1,200,000 royalty payment on
      December 31, 2007. Subsequently, and pursuant to Midamines persistent
      breach of material provisions of the Midamines Agreement (coupled with its
      failure to remedy such instances of breach notwithstanding notice to do
      so), Durnpike cancelled the Midamines Agreement and claimed
  damages.

|    | Midamines has subsequently disputed Durnpikes
      entitlement to cancel the Midamines Agreement and has demanded payment of
      US$1,200,000 as well as other amounts which have not yet been
      particularised. Midamines has threatened to refer the dispute to
      arbitration and to join Rockwell as party thereto, but no formal referral
      to arbitration has as yet been forthcoming (refer note 7(c)).
