Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the Six Months
Ended 31 December 2010
Corporate information and basis of preparation
The interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for the
six months ended 31 December 2010 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting, the Companies Act, 1973, (Act 61 of 1973) as
amended
and the Listing Requirements of the JSE Limited.
The interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the
information and disclosures required in the Annual Financial Statements and
should
be read in conjunction with the Group`s Annual Financial Statements as at
30 June 2010.
The interim results have not been audited or reviewed by the Group`s auditors.
The Adapt IT Group is incorporated and domiciled in South Africa.
Change in accounting policy
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim condensed
consolidated Financial Statements are in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are consistent with those applied in the Annual
Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2010, except for the following
new
Standards which have been issued, but which had no material impact on the
results
and financial position of the Group.
IFRS 2 Share-based payments
The IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 2 in January 2008 that defines vesting
conditions
and prescribes the treatment for an award that is cancelled. The amendment is
effective
for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2010.
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (Amendments) Classification of Rights
Issue
The purpose of the amendment is to clarify the classification of instruments
that give
the holders the right to acquire an entity`s own equity instruments at a fixed
price
(rights issue), when that price is stated in a currency other than the entity`s
functional currency. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on
or
after 1 February 2010.
Subsequent events
The Directors are not aware of any material matter or circumstance arising since
the
end of the interim period up to the date of this report.
Dividends
Ordinary dividend number 8 of 3,41 cents per share was paid to shareholders on
22
October 2010. It is the Group policy to consider declaration of dividends at the
end
of the financial period and not at the interim reporting date.
Change of financial year end
As previously communicated to shareholders, the Group`s financial year end was
changed
from 28 February to 30 June. For comparative purposes, these interim
consolidated
Financial Statements reflect the current six month period to 31 December 2010
and the comparative six month period to 31 August 2009.
Business combinations
Acquisition of non-controlling interest in ApplyIT
On 30 November 2010, the Group acquired the remaining 22,7% interest of the
voting
shares of ApplyIT. A purchase consideration of R0,72 million was paid to the
non-controlling shareholders. The non-controlling interest value was R1,4
million and
the difference of R0,69 million had been recognised in the retained earnings
within
equity.
Acquisition of non-controlling interest in ITS Holdings
On 31 December 2010, the Group acquired the remaining non-controlling interest
of 49%
of the shares in ITS, that it did not already own. The purchase consideration of
R19,9 million was paid to the non-controlling interest shareholders. The net
carrying
value of the assets of ITS (excluding goodwill) at the initial acquisition date
was
R5,6 million and the carrying value of the additional interest acquired was
R8,5 million, which was acquired for R13,2 million. The difference between the
purchase consideration and the carrying value of the interest acquired has been
recognised in retained earnings within equity.
The fair value of the identifiable net assets and liabilities of ITS as at the
date of
acquisition were:

Interim Report to Stakeholders for the Six Months Ended 31 December 2010
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Adapt IT Holdings Limited changed its financial year end to 30 June as of the
previous year, (reporting for a 16-month period) therefore, the last reported
comparable six-month period was to 31 August 2009.
Revenue grew by 40% to R85,1 million, (R60,6 million) whilst profit from
operations
was 12% higher at R6,5 million (R5,8 million).
The interim Earnings Per Share (EPS) were lower than the comparable period at
3,43
cents per share (4,73 cps), with Headline EPS (HEPS) higher at 3,56 cps (3,50
cps).
The interim EPS was lower than the comparative period, mainly due to the impact
of
the change in year end (due to the timing of certain annual licence fee income),
once-off discount on the initial ITS acquisition in 2009, as well as the non-
recurring
costs relating to buying-out non-controlling shareholders at ITS Holdings (Pty)
Ltd
and ApplyIT (Pty) Ltd. The positive impact on earnings from the
minority buy-outs will only reflect in the results going forward.
Strategy and outlook
During the first half of the year, the Group continued to pursue its long-term
strategy of delivering sustainable, above average returns to shareholders, by
focusing
on a combination of organic growth in the established and new sectors of the ICT
market.
Having completed the acquisition of a 100% stake in all existing subsidiaries,
the
Group seeks further significant earnings, enhancing acquisitions.
The Group will also continue to focus on improving profit margins and seek
greater
operational efficiencies, whilst engaging positively with all its stakeholders
to
meet their expectations. Customers` IT expenditure continued to reflect the
challenging economic environment, although, the diverse client-base of the Group
ensured that the
business continues to grow through work for existing customers.
The ICT market, and indeed the economic environment, is still fragile and
challenging.
However, Adapt IT is well-positioned to take advantage of the anticipated
recovery, as
evidenced by several new clients having been won in past months. The full
ownership of
all subsidiary companies enhances the Group earnings going forward, whilst
improving
the balance sheet for further growth.
Change of company secretary
The Board would like to thank Mr RL Moodley for his services as Company
Secretary over
the years. Statucor (Pty) Ltd has been appointed as the new Company Secretary.
Appreciation
We express our thanks to our long-standing and new customers, suppliers,
partners and
service providers for their continued support and loyalty to the Group. We also
thank
the Adapt IT Group employees for their continuous dedication and hard work in
serving
our customers.
