The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2010. 1.2 Financial review The group continues to be profitable as it continues to manage the I to I assets under the Agency Agreement as communicated previously with shareholders. The circular which is subject to JSE regulatory approval, detailing the transaction and requesting shareholder approval will be sent to shareholders in due course. The Site Risk Business unit contributed R700 931 in net income which is earned in terms of the Agency Agreement. The continued focus on cost control is bearing fruit and is reflected in the results. The Tracking business is profitable and the company continues to invest in the technology to remain competitive in the market. 1.3 Operational review The Zaptronix group of companies operates three businesses: Zaptronix Metering, Duo Tracking Services and the Site Risk business (the I to I assets) The economic recovery has been slow and is still affecting all the aspects of the Zaptronix businesses. Margins remain under pressure as customers focus on cost reduction. The value offering provided by Zaptronix ensures continued customer loyalty with ever increasing demand for better service delivery. Prospective customers are taking longer to make the investment decisions to install or upgrade equipment, which is affecting operational efficiencies. The group has continued to focus on cost control and improving efficiencies within its operations. 1.4 Future prospects The successful conclusion of the I to I transaction will strengthen the group`s financial position and afford the opportunity to finally integrate the operations which will also result in further efficiencies and savings. The group is well placed to benefit from the opportunities created by the implementation of the Electricity Regulation Act from 1 January 2012. In terms of this legislation, utilities have to supply consumers that use more than 1000 kWh per month a Time of Use based billing solution will create an accelerated tempo in the upgrade of metering equipment. Due to the expected growth Zaptronix has further extended its technology partnerships and distributor relationships to cope with the increase in demand for the meters. The group continues to invest in a broader range of tracking equipment and continues to upgrades its application and systems will allow Zaptronix to remain a profitable niche player in this industry. Growth is based on the growth of existing clients and opportunities where competitors` clients are unhappy with the level of service being delivered. 1.5 Dividend No dividend has been proposed.
