COMMENTARY
INTRODUCTION
In maintaining its position as the major distributor of prepaid
electronic tokens of value in South Africa, the group once again
delivered a robust performance in its trading operations. This
achievement, together with contributions by the international
segment, resulted in growth in EBITDA of 21%. Cash flows
generated from trading operations equated to R516 million.
An improved trading performance by Oxigen India resulted in the
decline of the group`s share of losses in this associate company
from R26 million to R7 million.
These growth contributors were negated by a substantial
differentiation in comparative interest rates impacting on
interest earned, the reversal of certain deferred tax assets, the
impairment of goodwill relating to the negative performance of
CNS call centre and the impairment of intangibles pertaining to
technology. The impact of the above equated to a decline in core
earnings per share of 6%.
The foundations for the startup operations in Mexico and Nigeria
have been established, thereby providing the group with a sound
platform for expansion in those regions.
In light of the group`s strong trading performance and the
resultant growth in cash on hand, the board has elected to
accelerate the declaration of a maiden dividend to shareholders.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The condensed group financial statements are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the listing
requirements of the JSE Limited and the South African Companies
Act 61 of 1973, as amended.
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with the
going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, as
modified by the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities
where required or elected in terms of IFRS. The accounting
policies and methods of computation are consistent with those
used in the comparative financial information for the year ended
31 May 2009.
In addition, the group uses core net profit as a non-IFRS measure
in evaluating the group performance. This supplements the IFRS
measures. Core net profit is calculated by adjusting net profit
for the year with the amortisation of intangible assets that
arise as a consequence of the purchase price allocations
completed in terms of IFRS 3: Business Combinations.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
- Revenues increased from R15,28 billion to R17,03 billion (11%).
- EBITDA of R689 million represented an increase of R121 million
(21%).
- EBITDA margins increased by 0,33% to 4,05%.
- Share of losses in Oxigen India declined from R26 million to R7
million.
- Net finance income declined by R55 million (59%).
- Impairments of goodwill and intangibles totalled R20,7 million.
- Headline earnings per share declined by 7% from 51,63 cents to
48,27 cents.
The underlying report has been prepared on a segmental basis in
order to provide shareholders with an enhanced insight into the
contributions of each segment.

South African distribution
This segment distributes prepaid electronic tokens of value,
including airtime, electricity, Ukash payment vouchers, lotto
tickets and bus tickets, on a national basis.
Commission earned on the distribution of prepaid electricity
increased 143% from R14 million to R34 million. This was achieved
through a hybrid of the expansion of consumer demand of this
payment facility and the establishment of additional contracts
with a wider spectrum of municipalities.
The overall growth in South African distribution of 9% was
entirely organic.
International distribution
International distribution encompasses the group`s operations in
Nigeria, Mexico, India and the United Kingdom. Interests in
Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of Congo were disposed of
in November 2009 and December 2009 respectively.
Revenue generated by Africa Prepaid Services and Blue Label
Mexico increased by R826 million. Trading operations in Cyprus
and the United States of America were disposed of in March 2009
and July 2009 respectively. The non-repetition of the comparative
revenues of these entities totalled R302 million, resulting in a
net growth in international distribution revenue of R524 million
(72%).
African Prepaid Services Nigeria commenced operations in May 2009
and Blue Label Mexico in June 2008. The latter continued its
steady roll out of point of sale devices during the year,
accumulating its points of presence to in excess of 3 000 at year
end.
International revenue does not include the turnover of the
associate companies, Oxigen India and Ukash. These operations are
equity accounted for, in line with the significant influence held
therein.
Value added services
The telemarketing of cellular and financial services products,
inbound customer care and technical support are provided by the
call centres operated by the group. Revenue generated by these
call centres declined by R69 million, primarily due to the
negative impact on outbound sales, caused by adverse market
conditions. This in turn necessitated the impairment of goodwill
of R12,1 million.
A further decline in revenue of R47 million pertained to e-
Voucha, a subsidiary company which was disposed of prior to the
commencement of the financial year.
Technology
The technology segment is the in-house technical support and
product development enhancement operation. Its revenue of R20
million related to sales and services to third parties.
EBITDA
EBITDA of R689 million equated to growth of R121 million (21%) on
the comparative year.
The segmental analysis distinguishes contributions from trading
operations and technical and corporate support.

South African distribution
EBITDA growth of R61 million was achieved through increased
revenues and a reduction in operational expenditure. This growth
was achieved in spite of a decline in gross profit margins by
0,15% impacted by the introduction of RICA.
International distribution
The growth of R131 million included a profit of R29 million on
the sale of African Prepaid Services Mozambique. The net trading
growth of R102 million was primarily contributed by Africa
Prepaid Services Nigeria.
Value added services
The decline in EBITDA of R50 million in this segment, was
primarily due to the negative performance of the call centres
including closure costs of R13 million pertaining to CNS and Blue
Label Call Centre.
Technology and Corporate
In-house technical support and managerial skills played an
essential role in the contribution to EBITDA growth of R142
million (20%) achieved by the trading operations.
Congruent with an expanding group, ongoing expenditure on
technology is required at both maintenance and personnel levels.
The need to focus on in-house support resulted in both a
reduction in revenue on services provided to third parties and an
increase in overheads in the technology segment. The resultant
negative contribution to EBITDA was R76 million.
Corporate administrative and managerial costs were contained,
resulting in a decline of R7 million.
NET FINANCE INCOME
Of the R162 million finance income earned, R84 million was
attributable to interest generated from cash resources. Imputed
interest receivable on debtor balances in terms of IFRS
requirements amounted to R78 million.
Finance income earned in the comparative year was R205 million,
of which R47 million related to imputed interest receivable on
debtor balances in terms of IFRS requirements and R158 million
earned from cash resources.
The effective decline in finance income, net of the above IFRS
adjustments, equated to R74 million, as a direct result of the
reduction in interest rates of 550 basis points since November
2008.
Of the R124 million finance cost, R119 million related to imputed
interest payable on creditor balances in terms of IFRS
requirements. On a comparative basis, R108 million of R113
million was applicable to IFRS adjustments. The net increase of
R11 million was directly IFRS related.
TAXATION
The non-deductibility of impairment charges to goodwill, offset
by unrecognised deferred tax assets in loss making subsidiaries
and a five year Pioneer tax status in Nigeria, resulted in a
group effective tax rate of 27%.

Oxigen India
The decline in the group`s share of losses in Oxigen India from
R26 million to R7 million (73%) was attributed to increased
revenues of 25% and reduced overheads of 40%, for their financial
year ended 31 March 2010, reported in local currency. The growth
in revenue emanated through the expansion of point of sale
distribution sites and product innovation, which increased the
bouquet of services available to consumers.
Ukash
The group`s share of this associate company`s losses was R8
million after the amortisation of intangible assets amounting to
R1,4 million. Of these losses, R3,7 million related to the
reversal of a deferred tax asset and R4,3 million to trading
losses.
The comparative share of losses of R2,3 million was for an eight
month period, as equity in Ukash was purchased in October 2008.

BALANCE SHEET
Assets
Total assets have accumulated to R4,45 billion, representing an
increase of R568 million (15%).
Non-current assets
There was a net decline in non-current assets of R19 million.
- Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment net of
disposals and depreciation increased by R52 million. The bulk of
this expenditure related to the acquisition of point of sale
devices.
- A starter pack base was acquired for R59 million and
expenditure on software and development increased by R31 million.
Disposals of R27 million, impairments of intangibles of R9
million, impairments to goodwill of R14 million and amortisation
of R64 million, equated to a net decline in intangibles and
goodwill of R24 million.
- Investments in associates decreased by R13 million.
- Unactivated starter pack assets declined by R37 million.
- Deferred tax assets increased by R3 million.
Current assets
Trade and other receivables increased by R89 million, maintaining
collections at an average of 21 days. Inventory increased by R176
million equating to an average inventory turn of 13 days.
Cash on hand increased by R296 million and other current assets
by R26 million.
CAPITAL AND RESERVES
Capital and reserves increased by the net profit for the year of
R365 million and by the increase of R71 million in minorities
interest. The purchase of treasury shares for R26 million, in
line with the group`s share incentive scheme, confined the growth
in reserves to R411 million.
LIABILITIES
Trade and other payables increased in tandem with volume growth
by R200 million, with creditor terms averaging 40 days. The
decline in taxation owing of R7 million, repayment of interest
bearing debt of R18 million and the reduction in deferred
taxation of R17 million, equated to a net increase in liabilities
of R157 million.
CASH FLOW
Cash on hand increased by R298 million for the year.
Net cash flows generated from operations amounted to R623
million. On a comparative basis, this represented a decline of
R123 million due to the application of cash to early settlement
discounts in lieu of interest receivable at lower rates than the
discounts earned.
The comparative reduction in interest rates and its consequent
impact on net interest receivable, resulted in a further decline
in comparative cash generation of R75 million, offset by a
reduction in taxation paid of R47 million.
Of the resultant net cash flows generated from operating
activities of R516 million, R91 million was expended on
intangible assets and R104 million on property, plant and
equipment.
A further R26 million was applied to the acquisition of the
treasury shares. The net generation of cash of R298 million
compounded the accumulation of cash resources at year end to R2,0
billion.
PROSPECTS
The establishment of Mobile Merchant Solutions will facilitate a
new extension to the group`s point of sale footprint by securely
integrating mobile channels into its core switch for the sale of
prepaid products. This approach will provide pervasive, 24/7
capabilities to smaller merchants via mobile devices across a
number of mobile channels, including USSD, WAP and On-Device
applications. A seamless online offline experience will ensure
continuity of service in areas of poor GPRS coverage.
The group has concluded a reseller agreement with Symantec, for
the introduction of a protection product for Smartphones by
utilising unique antivirus technology, advanced firewall and SMS
anti-spam protection.
Africa Prepaid Services Nigeria has concluded distribution
contracts with multiple networks in Nigeria, the benefits of
which are anticipated to be derived in the forthcoming financial
year.
The group intends to capitalise on its vast "real estate" of
printed vouchers, by generating advertising revenue thereon.
Oxigen India will roll out kiosk banking and mobile wallets via
its web enabled retailers, in terms of an agreement with The
State Bank of India. This will essentially facilitate virtual
banking to the vast unbanked population.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to year end, a dividend has been declared and approved
by the board.
AUDIT OPINION
The results for the year ended 31 May 2010 have been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. and the unqualified audit opinion is
