Overview
This past financial year has been an exciting but strenuous year for all at
SELCo.
Subsequent to the restructuring of operations and the costs incurred in an
attempted merger at the beginning of the financial year, SELCo`s efforts have
paid off in that it has identified a number of core interventions for action:-
* strong local empowerment grouping in Namibia;
* public relations programme with Municipalities and Government structures in
Namibia;
* reduction of energy losses; and
* the commencement of dividend payments.
Empowerment Grouping
In addition to the fact that the entire SELCo Namibia operations are being
conducted with NO South African expatriates being present in Namibia, the local
SELCo Namibian leadership under the guidance of Abraham Kukuri has concluded two
strategic agreements (awaiting shareholder ratification), embedding SELCo into
Southern Namibia and setting the scene for organic growth.
1. SELCo Nambia is to allocate 20% of SELCo Namibia`s funds available for
distribution as declared dividends for distribution to its employees on a
formula based incentive scheme where liquidity and solvency are not
compromised and participating employees have been with the Company for at
least 2 years. This will retain skills without diluting ownership.
2. SELCo Namibia has reached agreement with the Nama Traditional Authority,
comprising 11 chiefs located from Noordoewer in the South to Kunene in the
North and the Erongo in the West, whereby the Nama Traditional authority
obtains 5% of the shares in SELCo Namibia against no payment with the
option of procuring a further 20% of the shareholding at market related
price less 25%.
3. SELCo Namibia will change its dividend policy in future.
Public Relations Programme
Numerous regular meetings and information sessions have been held with the
municipalities in the South of Namibia, together with relevant Government
departments to raise awareness of SELCo within the formal Government sector.
This programme will continue throughout the next financial year.
Reduction of Energy Losses
In the last 12 months, SELCo has managed to further reduce kWh losses from 7.96%
(June 2010) to 6.93% for June 2011, thus improving revenue streams and also
assisting in limiting tariff increases - resulting in electricity being more
affordable to the stretched electricity users in Namibia. Historically, losses
have reduced on a consistent basis from 14.02% (June 2008), to 11.75% (June
2009) to the current 6.93%. These losses represent both technical and non-
technical losses.
Dividend Payments
As the underlying principles of SELCo`s business are strong, it is the intention
of the directors to commence with dividend payments from the next financial
year, provided always that solvency and liquidity are not being compromised.
Review of the Business
Although there was a small operating loss for the year, this was due to the
costs incurred with the attempted merger and not due to unprofitability of
SELCo`s core operations, which remain strong. Profitability has also been
somewhat reduced due to the disparity in tariffs between the buying and selling
of electricity.
Trade and other receivables has grown from R6 387 643 (June 2010) to R8 225 128
for the year ending June 2011. Debtor days for the period have also increased
from 46 days to 55 days. However, the directors are comfortable with the
standing of the debtors book as numerous Government payments reliant on new
budget allocations were received only days after the year end period.
In addition to the ongoing kWh loss management program, SELCo is rolling out
remote metering to its entire customer base to enable time of use metering and
billing. The deployment of this technology will reduce SELCo`s potential
liabilities in the current disparity of the electricity buying tariffs methods
and the electricity selling tariffs methods. In addition, users of electricity
would have a choice of using electricity consumption to manage tariffs to their
own needs and tariff associated with that use. The capex rollout is expected
to take place at a rate of approximately R2 200 per meter. This is also
expected to improve the profitability of the group.
Please note that no statements regarding the future prospects of the company
have been reviewed or reported on by the company`s auditors.
Outlook
SELCo`s core business has been well proven and healthy. The deployment of the
new time of use metering will further reduce SELCo`s potential exposure in
tariff disparities as well as further reducing kWh losses.
With SELCo`s empowerment partners in place, the long overdue expansion programme
in the South of Namibia is of primary importance in the new financial year.
Appreciation
Our sincere appreciation is extended to our fellow board members, management and
staff for their efforts and their continued commitment to the company.
