New Africa Investments Limited Share Incentive Trust
* In terms of SIC-12: Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities, entities
which are created to achieve a narrow and well-defined purpose and are
created with legal arrangements that impose strict and sometimes permanent
limits on the decision-making powers of their governing board, trustees or
management over the operations of the SPE are required to be consolidated by
the creator. The New Africa Investments Limited Share Incentive Trust was
created by New Africa Investments Limited to facilitate the exercise and
distribution of proceeds relating to share options which were exercised by
employees as part of the TISO Consortium acquisition of NAIL in 2003. This
trust was not previously consolidated. All options were settled, however, a
slight delay in the payment of the settlements arose and interest accrued
during this period resulting in excess funds in the trust. The excess funds
have been consolidated and a corresponding provision has been raised. Based
on the aforementioned, the comparative figures have been restated to reflect
the consolidated cash and related provision of R0.703 million at 31 December
2010. There is a nil impact on retained earnings and no changes to the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income nor to the statement of
changes in equity. There is a nil impact on basic and diluted earnings and
headline earnings per share.
Borrowings and non-controlling interest
* The borrowing from the Industrial Development Corporation was provided to
Wild Coast Films (Proprietary) Ltd to fund the production of a film and was
repayable only out of proceeds arising from that film. In terms of IAS 39,
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, such a financial
liability, which is carried at amortised cost, is reassessed and adjusted
for changes in expected cash flows over the life of the liability. This film
was written down to a net realisable value of nil prior to the year ended 31
December 2008, however, the borrowing was not reassessed. The expected cash
flows payable in settlement of the borrowing were therefore also nil and
consequently, this liability (although not extinguished), should have been
remeasured to nil. As a result, the comparative figures have been restated
to reflect the liability at nil and a resultant increase in retained
earnings of R9.172 million. In terms of IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate
Financial Statements (as revised 2003), a debit non-controlling/minority
interest is recognisable only when the minority has a binding obligation and
is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses. No such
binding obligation existed and, consequently, the comparative figures have
been restated to reverse the debit minority interest of R9.172 million which
had been recognised. The revised provisions of the current IAS 27 are not
applied retrospectively and therefore do not impact the restatement. There
is an overall net nil impact on retained earnings and no change to the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income. There is an overall nil
impact on basic and diluted earnings and headline earnings per share.

Shares. The TISO Consortium includes Investec, Tiso Group,

4. OTHER RECEIVABLE
The KFM Agterskot receivable, due from Primedia, is in terms of the
disposal agreement for KFM Radio (Proprietary) Limited, which was sold by
NAIL in 2004 and is due as a result of KFM`s successful challenge of SARS`
decision to disallow its R50 million trademark deduction in terms of
Section 11(gA) of the Income Tax Act. During February 2011, KFM agreed to
a write off period of 18 years for the deduction, in settlement of the
dispute with SARS. During the six months to 31 December 2011, the
receivable was fully settled.
COMMENTARY
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months
ended 31 December 2011 has been prepared in accordance with the recognition
and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") and the disclosure requirements as outlined in IAS 34 - Interim
Financial Reporting, and in compliance with the Listing Requirements of the
JSE Limited and the South African Companies Act (2008), on a basis
consistent with that of the prior period.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual
financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2011, as described
therein.
REVIEW OF RESULTS
The performance for the period reflects the results of the Group`s single
operating segment, its 24.9% interest in Kaya FM (Proprietary) Limited and
administrative expenses incurred, primarily in relation to the Company`s
listing on the JSE.
RETURN OF CASH TO SHAREHOLDERS
Advance Agterskot payment
In terms of the offer made in 2009 by Primedia and Capricorn, NAIL
shareholders had the option of accepting the Once-off Offer Consideration of
68 cents per NAIL share or the Agterskot Offer Consideration which comprised
the Initial Cash portion of 26 cents per NAIL share plus the Agterskot
Amount (which includes the receipt by NAIL of additional KFM disposal
proceeds). Following the settlement of a tax dispute relating to KFM`s
trademark deduction, NAIL received a second additional purchase
consideration from Primedia which amounted to R11.041 million (2011: R18.782
million). Consequently, former NAIL shareholders who accepted the Agterskot
Offer Consideration and sold their shares in terms of the 2009 Offer were
entitled to an Advance Agterskot payment of 12.67 cents (2011: 11.44 cents)
per NAIL share, which was paid, via a dividend, to current shareholders on
28 October 2011 who in turn settled the amounts owing to the former NAIL
shareholders. The total amount of the Advance Agterskot payment (including
interest of R0.45 million thereon) was R16.043 million (2011: R14.486
million).
Dividend
A dividend of 12.67 cents per share was declared to shareholders registered
on 21 October 2011. The total amount of the dividend (excluding STC thereon)
was R 16.043 million (2011: R22.286 million).
GOING CONCERN
The going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial
information. The directors have no reason to believe that the Group will not
be a going concern in the year ahead, based on forecasts and available cash
resources.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Unclaimed dividends
On 28 February 2012, the directors passed a resolution, in terms of the NAIL
memorandum of incorporation to prescribe unclaimed dividends of R25 671
relating to dividend number 5, which was declared on 13 February 2009 (2011:
R 166 164).
Change in directorate
Mr R Kevan, a non-executive director, resigned from the board with effect
from 27 February 2012.
