REVIEWED PRELIMINARY CONDENSED RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010, CASH
DIVIDEND DECLARATION AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Commentary
The results for the year under review reflect an encouraging 38% increase in
operating profit, up from 9% for the first six months, during a period of
continued difficult trading conditions. A 9% increase in turnover and
contained growth in operational expenses of 2,5% are the key contributors to
this increase. Included in operating costs are R1,9 million of expenses,
relating to the Cargowise division. Contracts for the rollout of Cargowise
have been concluded with several clients and the division is due to generate
its first revenues during the 2011 financial year. A satisfactory 13% growth
in profit before income tax includes net financial income of R1,4 million
(2009- R2,6 million), which reflects the lower bank balances held by the
Group.
Profit for the year of R7,5 million (2009 -R6,5 million) was achieved after a
charge of R1,03 million for STC (Secondary Tax on Companies) (2009-R1,02
million), arising from the payment of a dividend during the year under
review.
Cash generation continues to be strong with cash generated from operations
amounting to 116% (2008-149%) of operating profit. Cash balances remain a
very healthy R17,0 million , (2009-R25,2 million ) after distributions to
shareholders of R10,3 million (2009-R10,2 million) and R3 million invested
in a building refurbishment project.
Prospects
There are tangible indications that the decline in import volumes, which are
closely linked to the Group`s revenues, has bottomed out. Revenues for the
Cargowise division will come on stream from July 2010, expanding the Group`s
revenue base. Management continue to focus on maintaining the operating
margin at a satisfactory level.
