The Company
Stella Vista Technologies Ltd. (Stella Vista) was established in February 1994
and in addition to the offices and factory situated in Kyalami Business Park in
South Africa has an office and warehouse in Kempton Gate Business Park in the
UK.
Stella Vista is one of the frontrunners in the visual mass communications
industry worldwide. Driven by the pursuit of excellence, the Company prides
itself on reliability and superior service made possible by its vision,
creativity, ambition and integrity.
We believe that it is our commitment to quality, our application optimized and
innovative designs, the low ownership cost of our products, the high quality of
the materials we use and our dedication to building long-term relationships
with our customers that sets us apart from the rest.

The Market and Prospects
The prospects for improvement in the sport, commercial and transportation
markets are excellent as the economy worldwide is improving and Stella Vista`s
product range continues to expand. Stella Vista whilst still pursuing high end
LED deals has simultaneously re-entered the market for smaller LED advertising
screens. In the past 6 months this market has been explored very successfully.
During the period under review, Stella Vista supplied two stadia in Bangladesh
with a complete cricket solution (video replay screens, scoreboards, software,
training and control equipment) The Cricket World Cup was played partly in
Bangladesh and our equipment performed very well. A number of outdoor
advertising screens were sold to the PRIMEDIA Group and given their significant
footprint within this lucrative and expanding market segment, prospects for
further sales growth in the near future are considerably heightened.
Services and upgrades have contributed approximately 15% of total revenue.
Rentals are now 25% of the income and this area has excellent prospects to
increase in the future.
Rentals of perimeter displays in Europe continues to bring new opportunities as
Stella Vista`s product and suitability are being more widely show cased as the
UK based operation strengthens its network of strategic alliances within this
highly competitive sports advertising market.
Results
The current economic times continue to be challenging to Stella Vista, despite
this, management stays committed to growth of the business and market
footprint. In terms of technology we are and will remain committed to
innovations and excellence.
Significant improvements in net profits were achieved which resulted in a
turnaround from a loss of R3 million in the previous financial period to a
profit of R453K in the current reporting period.
The Company has streamlined operations and achieved cost reduction whilst still
maintaining core strengths over the longer period. The full effect of this
will only be reflected in the following reporting periods.
Commentary
Dividend
No interim dividend is proposed.
Product and services
The biggest movement besides selling new products, is upgrades to existing
sites. The benefits of our FaceUp technology are starting to be realised, this
technology has created new market opportunities where products previously sold
are upgraded at a fraction of the cost of a new installation and the older
technology is refurbished and sold in the used product market.
Accounting Standards
The results have been prepared in terms of IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting,
as well as AC500
The interim results for the six months ending 28 February 2011 have not been
audited.
