BASIS OF PREPARATION
These reviewed condensed consolidated interim results have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the South African
Companies Act 1973 (Act 61 of 1973) as amended (`Act`) and the Listings
Requirements of JSE Limited (`JSE`). The accounting policies have been
consistently applied with those in the prior year.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the preparation of
these reviewed condensed consolidated interim results are consistent with those
applied in the preparation of the group`s annual financial statements for the
year ended 31 July 2010.
REVIEW OPINION
The condensed consolidated interim results for the six months ended 31 January
2011 have been reviewed by the group auditors, IAPA Johannesburg Chartered
Accountants Inc. and their unmodified review report is available for inspection
at the registered office of EOH.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The board of directors of EOH (`board`) is satisfied with the performance for
the six months under review. The statement of financial position is strong with
substantial cash resources to support future growth and sustainability. The
board thanks its people, clients and technology partners for their contribution
during the period under review. Revenue increased by 44,8% to R1 139,7 million
and profit before tax is up by 49,5% to R109,1 million. The growth is
attributable to a combination of both organic growth (66%) and recent
acquisitions (34%). EPS and HEPS have grown significantly by 37,1% and 37,4%
respectively with cash on hand of R228,4 million.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
During the period under review, EOH broadened its Business Process Outsourcing
activities through the acquisition of the businesses of Elixir Group
(Proprietary) Limited, Pinnacle Health Solutions (Proprietary) Limited and
Compensation Technologies Holdings (Proprietary) Limited. It further expanded
its services in the Microsoft infrastructure, applications and development space
with the acquisition of the business of Belay Solutions (Proprietary) Limited
and its subsidiaries. Whilst these acquisitions collectively enhance EOH`s
service offerings and contribute to its profitability, none of these
acquisitions on their own were significant. The purchase price paid over and
above the net asset value of these businesses amounting to R73 million has been
taken to goodwill. Businesses acquired during the period under review are
subject to profit warranties relating to periods ending after January 2012.
Should these be met, an additional R61 million will be paid to the vendors. No
operations were closed or disposed of during the six months under review.
SEGMENTAL REPORTING
EOH`s revenue is derived from the provision of services (consulting, systems
implementation, systems integration and managed services), software (software
sales and maintenance revenue) and infrastructure products.

Net profit before tax 14 610 10 609 109 072 72 976
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
There have been no significant events since the end of the six months under
review and the date of this report. There was no significant capital expenditure
authorised as at 31 January 2011.
TRANSFORMATION
EOH has 30,7% broad-based effective black ownership. Of the group`s over 2 300
employees, 44,4% are black as is 60,0% of the board. EOH has an `AA` BEE rating
(Level 3 contributor). EOH is committed to inclusive transformation involving
all its people and stakeholders.
FUTURE PLANS
EOH will continue to grow both organically and by strategic acquisitions which
complement its business.
EOH will grow its managed services and expand its IT and Business Process
Outsourcing and applications businesses.
EOH is well positioned to provide cloud computing services - it has its own
infrastructure, all the major applications, IT management technology and
security skills. We see this as a major growth area.
EOH is driving its service offering into the Public Sector, particularly in the
areas of Health, Education and Local Government. EOH is also looking to offer
its services into Africa and to further extend its off-shoring offerings to
Europe.
EOH has the ability, the management, the people, the track record and the
financial resources to continue to grow aggressively.
DIRECTORATE
There have been no changes to the board during the period under review, up to
and including the date of this report.
DIVIDENDS
It is EOH`s practice to declare dividends at the end of each financial year. A
dividend of 36 cents per share was paid on 1 November 2010.
