The results of the group`s maintenance subsidiary Safair Technical (Proprietary) Limited ("Safair Technical") were disappointing however 1time airline (Proprietary) Limited ("1time airline"), the group`s airline subsidiary, achieved satisfactory results. Group revenue increased by 6% on the back of higher passenger volumes and improved yields in 1time airline. Group headline earnings however, decreased from R50.8 million in the previous comparative interim period ("prior period") to R14.8 million in the period under review largely due to: non-recurring exceptional items relating to negative goodwill of R13.6 million and impairment losses of R16.5 million having been included in the prior period`s earnings; Safair Technical incurring an attributable R7.7 million loss compared to R2.6 million earnings in the prior period; and a tax credit in the prior period`s income statement compared to a normalised tax charge in the period under review. Despite the decline in group earnings, cash generated from operations improved from R28.2 million to R46.3 million in the period under review. 1TIME AIRLINE 1time airline continues to perform well. Revenue increased by 11% to R565 million supported by a 4% increase in passenger numbers, higher yields and increased ancillary revenue. Load factors improved from 80% to 82%, as the airline achieved further market share gains in a flat market. 1time airline`s earnings were however, negatively impacted in the period under review by an average 12% fuel price increase and a 40% increase in airport charges. The airline currently operates over 1 300 flights per month with a fleet of twelve standardised stage 3 MD80 type aircraft. All eight domestic routes are performing well and the African expansion plans are on track with the Zanzibar, Livingstone and Maputo routes all showing good potential. The anti-competitive agreement at Lanseria Airport expires in February 2011 and 1time`s complaint currently lies with the Competition Tribunal. 1time has formally requested approval from Lanseria Airport to commence operations out of the airport during the first half of 2011. SAFAIR TECHNICAL Safair Technical incurred a R7.7 million attributable after tax loss during the period under review. The losses are attributable to a combination of excessive staff costs, the strong Rand and lower than expected third party maintenance revenue. The Competition Commission imposed a condition on the approval of the merger between 1time and Safair Technical restricting any staff redundancies for a year. As the period to which this condition relates has now expired, a cost reduction programme commenced in July 2010. The headcount was reduced from 700 at the start of the year to 582 currently while simultaneously expanding maintenance capacity and capabilities. Safair Technical is well positioned to grow third party maintenance revenue domestically and into Africa and expects to restore profitability in the second half of 2010 financial year on lower costs and higher revenues. 1TIME CHARTERS The group`s charter business, 1time charters, generated R5.7million revenue during the period under review having performed particularly well during the 2010 Soccer World Cup. A dedicated MD80 aircraft, will become operational in the last quarter of the year and accordingly, further revenue growth is expected. DIVIDEND POLICY In line with the group`s strategy to reinvest in the operations to sustain growth, no dividend has been declared or paid during the period under review. 1time`s dividend policy will be reviewed annually in light of the group`s cash flow, gearing and capital requirements. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed financial statements, which are based on reasonable judgments and estimates, are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009. These reviewed consolidated condensed interim financial statements as set out in this report have been prepared in terms of IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the Companies Act, 1973 (Act 61 of 1973), as amended, and the Listings Requirements of JSE Limited. REVIEW OPINION The consolidated condensed interim results for the period ended 30 June 2010 have been reviewed by the auditors of 1time, SAB-T Chartered Accountants. Their unqualified review opinion is available for inspection at the offices of 1time. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The board is not aware of any material matter or circumstance arising since the end of the interim financial period ended 30 June 2010 up to the date of this report other than the transfer of 1time`s listing from the Alternative Exchange to the Main Board of the JSE Limited on 5 July 2010. PROSPECTS Prospects for 1time airline in the second half of the 2010 financial year remain positive, with further revenue growth expected as a result of higher volumes, although margins will be largely dependent on the average Rand fuel price. For the 2011financial year growth will be driven by Africa and Lanseria expansions. An aircraft fleet review is being performed to ensure 1time can meet its growth plans and maintain its cost advantage in the market. Safair Technical is expected to return to profitability for the second half of the 2010 financial year based on anticipated higher revenue and improved margins being achieved on lower input costs.
