4. Acquisition of business
The company purchased Central Boating with effect 1 October 2008 which is a
marine leader in the importation and distribution of leisure marine equipment
to both the yachting and power boat sectors of the market in South Africa.

industry and will add additional profits to the group in the future.
Details of net assets and goodwill as follows:
Purchase consideration paid in cash R17,537 million
Fair value of net assets acquired - inventory R7,864 million
Goodwill R9,673 million
Goodwill is attributable to significant synergies expected to arise between

Boating for the year:
Revenue R40,483 million
Profit R2,342 million

On 2 December 2009, the company received a summons from the Powerpack Pension
Fund (in liquidation) claiming payment of approximately R45 million plus
interest relating to pension fund transactions during 1999. The company
disputes liability and will be defending the claim. Details regarding this
matter have been disclosed in the notes of the company`s 2008 annual financial
statements.
Overview
The group implemented a change in management, midway during the year, in March
2009. The new management team refocused the business by implementing
efficiencies in operations, a continued drive to improve service levels and to
provide the best value holidays to its customers. The result was a significant
improvement in profitability in the second half of the year. Profit before tax
was down R13,279 million during the first half of the year, and up R16,611
million in the second half of the year. We would like to thank the Board,
Management and our employees for their efforts, commitment and contribution in
achieving these improved results. Economic conditions remained challenging
throughout the year.
Cash flow
Cash resources declined in the first half of the year with Central Boating
being acquired for cash, a general decline in business and change in booking
patterns for Holidays. The second half saw an increase in cash resources of R9
million which is pleasing, particularly as the second half of the year is
traditionally a slow period for cash generation.
Review of Operations
Yachting and Diving (Cullinan Marine)
The Marine & Leisure unit consists of Central Boating and Manex Marine. The
unit performed well during the year, despite difficult trading conditions.
Manex
Manex is a supplier to the diving and yacht building industry. The business
holds agencies for a number of key brands in these industries. The business
benefited from a change in management. This resulted in improved service
levels, efficiencies and an improvement in value provided to it`s customers.
Despite a difficult trading year, the financial results for the year
significantly exceeded the prior year.
Central Boating
Central Boating is a supplier to the yacht industry and holds agencies for a
number of leading brands. These are in many cases complementary to Manex. The
business was acquired in October 2008 and met its performance expectations for
the year.
Travel and Tourism
Thompsons Touring & Safaris
The touring division provides tourism products for the inbound division. These
include escorted tours, general sightseeing and open vehicle game drives in
the National Parks which are offered throughout Southern Africa. Steps were
taken by management to address challenging market conditions. This resulted in
profitability for the year exceeding 2008 levels.
Hylton Ross Tours
Hylton Ross Tours operates coaches and vehicles for hire and charter in the
domestic travel market and also provides day tours in and around the Western
Cape and the Garden Route. The business was affected by the decline in demand
in the market place. Again, as this was anticipated, steps were taken in
advance which resulted in profitability for the year exceeding that of 2008.
Thompsons Corporate and Leisure Travel
Thompsons Travel is a retail travel agency with offices in Johannesburg, Cape
Town and Durban. Both the Corporate and Leisure divisions were affected by a
decrease in demand in the local market during the year. Steps have been taken
by management to improve the business for 2010.
Pentravel
Pentravel is a chain of 23 retail travel outlets located in the major shopping
malls throughout South Africa. The business experienced a reduction in
turnover and profitability during the year. This reduction was in line with
the general slow down in the domestic travel market in South Africa. A new
management team was implemented during the latter half of 2009 and steps have
been taken to improve the business for 2010.
Thompsons Holidays (the outbound division)
The Holidays division is the premier wholesale supplier of travel related
products and holidays to the South African market, distributing its holiday
product through domestic travel agencies and consortiums. Sales were affected
by the downturn in the domestic travel market. A new management team was
installed during the second half of the year, with a focus on improved
efficiencies, service levels and providing best value to its customers through
the launch of the Thompsons Specialist Collection. The launch of the Thompsons
Specialist Collection representing best value holiday packages in the South
African marketplace, have proved very successful. The result was a significant
improvement in profitability during the second half of the year in comparison
to the prior year. Further steps are anticipated to improve the business and
the outlook for further growth in 2010 is positive.
Thompsons Africa (the inbound division)
The Thompsons Africa division is the leading South African tour wholesaler and
destination marketing organisation. It sells Southern African travel packages
to international Tour Operators with a blue chip customer base. The customer
base is geographically well spread and Thompsons Africa has been recognised as
the most well known brand amongst South African destination management
companies operating in the International travel market. The downturn in the
market place was anticipated for 2009, and steps taken to reduce costs and
improve efficiencies, have proved successful in increasing profitability in
the second half of the year when compared to the prior year.
Planet Africa
The Planet Africa division is a joint venture operation formed to sell and
market Southern Africa primarily to Japanese and Korean Tour Operators. It is
the largest incoming tour operator operating in the Japanese market and
although affected by a drop in demand out of Japan has maintained
profitability through increased efficiencies.
Thompsons Gateway Singapore
Gateway is a sales office in Singapore, selling Southern African packages to
the South East Asian travel trade. It has maintained a reasonable level of
turnover although profitability has declined during the year.
Prospects
Whilst economic conditions remain challenging, management changes in March
2009 have improved the dynamics of the business and prospects are positive for
the year ahead. The Group plans to continue to focus on growing its business
organically and is well placed to benefit from the 2010 World Cup. Efforts
will also continue to look for further growth opportunities through
acquisition.
