Imperial Holdings Limited
Audited Preliminary results for the year ended 30 June 2011
- HEPS up 38% to 1 370 cps
- Operating profit up 38% to R4 526 million
- Revenue 21% higher to R64 667 million
- Cash flow from operating activities up 86%
- Net debt/equity ratio of 34%
- Full year dividend of 480 cps
Overview of results
The group achieved an outstanding result amidst tough trading conditions in
certain of our markets. Revenue was up 21% and operating profit increased by 38%
to R 4,5 billion. The return on equity of the group reached 23% whilst cash
generated by operations increased by 49%.
The group`s new vehicle unit sales in South Africa grew by 21% which was
slightly ahead of the industry. Trading conditions in our SA Logistics Division
were challenging, while the International Logistics Division performed well in a
strong German economy. Acquisitions made a positive contribution and were
earnings enhancing.
The operating margin increased to 7,0% from 6,2% with the main contributor being
the Distributorships division which achieved a margin of 8,4% against 5,4% in
the prior year. Revenue in the Distributorships division increased by 30,0%.
Automotive Retail grew its margin to a strong 2,9% from 2,2%, with revenue up
10%. The margin in our combined Southern African and European logistics business
declined to 5,5%, mainly due to the inclusion of the newly acquired CIC Holdings
Limited ("CIC"), the negative impact of the transport workers strike in February
and operational difficulties experienced in The Cold Chain (which is an
important unit in the Consumer Logistics Division). The Car Rental and Tourism
division`s margin declined due to the benefits from the 2010 FIFA World Cup
which boosted the performance in the prior year, pressure on rental rates, a
sluggish used car market, losses in the newly acquired Panel businesses and
declines in the Tourism and Coach businesses.
The acquisition of Midas, which only contributed for seven months in the
previous year, and CIC, which was acquired in the first half of this financial
year, contributed strongly to the results of the Distributorships and SA
Logistics Division respectively.
In line with a more unified management approach across the spectrum of financial
products in the group, we now report all financial services as a single segment.
This includes the Regent Insurance group, LiquidCapital and a number of other
financial services operations which mainly originate business from our motor
vehicle operations. This division contributed strongly with operating profit up
by 9% to R760 million. The underwriting margin improved significantly largely
due to a better claims experience, while insurance investment income fell short
of the strong performance in the corresponding period due to lower interest
rates. The equity portfolio remains conservatively managed with downside
protections in place. Operating profit from other financial services grew
strongly from the combination of annuity income from service and maintenance
plans, vehicle financing alliances and a growing range of value added products.
In aggregate, the group`s operating profit grew by 38%, and Headline Earnings
per Share (HEPS) increased by 38%. Below the operating line, the most
significant variation from the corresponding previous period which impacted on
HEPS was the fair value adjustment from the Lereko BEE structure of R279 million
(147 cps) compared to R78 million (42 cps) in the prior period. Last year, the
net impact to headline earnings from once off items including the fair value
gain on the Lereko BEE structure was R54 million (29 cps). Imperial Bank
contributed R175 million (94 cps) in the prior period which did not recur as a
result of the sale of our shareholding in the bank. Amortisation of intangible
assets arising on business combinations amounting to R15 million (8 cps)
impacted negatively in the current period.
The interest charge reduced by 7,2% to R554 million due to lower interest rates
and lower debt. The increase in the minorities` share of profit is largely
attributable to the strong performance of the Distributorships division and new
acquisitions where a number of minority shareholders participate. Interest
covered by operating profit has increased from 5,5 times to 8,2 times.
The results of discontinued operations are not disclosed separately as they are
no longer material to the group`s results and contributed R7 million of
attributable profit for the year.
The effective tax rate at 31% was above the statutory rate of 28% because of the
cost of secondary tax on companies, non-deductible expenses and deferred tax
impairments, which were offset by the revaluation of the Lereko call option.
The significant decrease in income from associates relates mainly to the sale of
our shareholding in Imperial Bank. Imperial Bank contributed R175 million in the
prior period. Mix Telematics, in which we hold a 25,6% interest, contributed R17
million and the contribution from smaller associates increased from the prior
year. Renault had a solid year but its profits will only be recognised once
previous losses have been recouped.
Financial position
Intangible assets increased by 81% to R1,8 billion mainly due to the CIC
acquisition.
Investment in associates and joint ventures reduced as the call option in Lereko
has been reclassified to equity.
Net working capital was well managed and increased by R363 million after the
acquisition of CIC and on revenue growth of
R11,2 billion. The net working capital turn improved from
19,2 to 21,1 times.
Shareholders` equity was impacted by the repurchase of approximately 1,5 million
shares worth R156 million and the elimination of Imperial shares owned by
Lereko, which are now treated as treasury stock decreasing equity by R665
million.
The group raised R2 billion by the issue of a fixed rate seven year corporate
bond for R1,5 billion (IPL6) and a five year floating rate bond for R500 million
(IPL5) in September 2010 at spreads of approximately 200 bps over the
appropriate risk free rates. The issues provided long-term liquidity and were
used to settle IPL3 and IC01 of R2 billion which matured. The group`s liquidity
position is strong with R8 billion in unutilised facilities and only 16% of debt
is due within one year. 41% of the group`s debt is at a fixed interest rate.
Net debt to equity (excluding preference shares) at 30% was lower than the 39%
at June 2010 and 48% at December 2010. The current gearing level is below our
target range of 60% to 80%, which leaves significant room for expansion of the
group.
Cash flow
Cash generated by operations was 49% higher than the prior year. After financing
costs and tax payments, net cash flow from operating activities increased by
86%. Net working capital cash flows increased by only R298 million, despite
strong turnover growth of R11,2 billion. Capital expenditure on rental assets
was significantly lower than in the corresponding period as we de-fleeted a
large number of car rental vehicles in the second half of this financial year.
Net expansion and replacement capital expenditure excluding car rental vehicles
was higher than in the prior period as economic circumstances and trading
conditions warranted renewed expansion. The free cash flow to headline earnings
ratio was 132%.
The final instalment on the sale of Imperial Bank of R477 million was received
during the period and R943 million was spent on the acquisition of subsidiaries
and businesses of which CIC formed the major part.
Business conditions in our markets
Trading conditions in the automotive retail market rebounded strongly in 2010.
The recovery has continued into the 2011 calendar year, albeit at a slower rate
as the prior year base increased. Demand is being stimulated by historic low
interest rates, low vehicle inflation, increase in the number of entry level
models, increased appetite by banks for vehicle finance and pent-up demand as
motorists extended their vehicle replacement cycles during the economic crisis.
The commercial vehicle market, which lags the upturn in passenger vehicle sales,
has also reversed its negative trend. However, the used car market is depressed,
partly because of stronger new car sales.
Volumes in the consumer logistics market, which represents approximately 42% of
the revenue of SA Logistics were sluggish in the second half. Construction
related volumes were still weak, although volumes in bulk food, chemicals and
fuel were positive. The transport workers strike in February was disruptive.
The German economy, where Imperial Logistics International derives most of its
income, continued to show good growth in the second half. A relatively weak Euro
and strong demand for German manufactured goods, particularly in the steel and
automotive sectors where the bulk of our customer base operates, contributed to
this.
Low demand in the international and local leisure travel sector, the sluggish
used car market and low rental rates across the car rental Industry affected our
Car Rental and Tourism Division adversely.
The recovery in vehicle sales has been beneficial to our newly created Financial
Services Division which creates a valuable annuity stream to support future
earnings. Insurance underwriting conditions were favourable in the second half,
particularly in the short-term industry. Investment markets were less favourable
with lower interest and softer equity markets.
Vehicle sales
In South Africa, the group sold 96 453 new (including 11 477 new vehicles sold
to outside dealers) and 54 746 used vehicles in the financial year, respectively
21% and 4% more than the prior period. The national new vehicle market grew by
20% year on year.
The Australian and United Kingdom operations sold 9 140 new vehicles, which was
11% higher than the prior period and 3 841 used vehicles, which was 9% higher.
Expansion of the group during the year
Acquisitions during the period consisted of:
- 100% of CIC, a distributor of fast moving consumer goods throughout Namibia,
Botswana, Swaziland, Mozambique and South Africa;
- 80% of EWC Express , which trades in the parcel and express delivery sector of
the logistics market;
- 50,1% of Commerce Edge SA, a procurement training company;
- 100% of Danmar Autobody, a manufacturer approved panelbeater and vehicle
repair facility in the Johannesburg area;
- 100% of E-Z-GO South Africa, a distributor of the leading brand of golf carts
for the golfing and commercial markets;
- 60% of Graffitti Designs, a leading vehicle branding and digital print
company;
- 60% of 777 Logistics, a fuel and chemicals bulk tanker business;
- 74,9% of Edusport, a leading sports, educational and incentives group tour
operator, with particular strength in the management of large events, and
- 75% of Turbo Exchange, a distributor and refurbisher of turbo chargers.
In the aggregate, acquisitions finalised over the past two years, assuming they
were included for a full 12-month period, would have added approximately R7
billion of annual turnover to the group.

The division faced a challenging trading environment in the current year,
particularly in the second half when consumer volumes decreased in certain
instances and a strike in February had a material impact on profitability across
all business units. The Cold Chain, which is an important unit in our Consumer
Products division, experienced operational problems which followed a
restructuring of the business and recorded lower throughput in the second half,
resulting in losses. These adverse factors were to some extent offset by the
acquisition of CIC, effective from 1 November 2010, as well as significant
contract gains.
The operating margin was lower than the prior period mainly due to the strike in
February, losses at The Cold Chain and the inclusion of CIC`s results for eight
months. Due to the nature of its operations, CIC operates at lower margins than
our current mix of businesses but is able to generate good returns.
Our Transport and Warehousing business, which mainly services the manufacturing,
mining, commodities and construction industries, performed satisfactorily,
despite inconsistent volume growth. New contract gains and good activity in the
tipper business made a positive contribution to results whilst construction
related volumes were weak.
The Specialised Freight business produced good results as volumes grew in the
food and chemicals businesses and volumes were gained in the liquid petroleum
gas markets. New contract gains and the acquisition of 60% of 777 Logistics also
contributed to the positive performance.
The Consumer Logistics business was affected by a sluggish consumer market in
the second half as well as the disappointing performance of The Cold Chain.
Manufacturing volumes in our customer base were also depressed. The division`s
performance was however enhanced by contract gains and the acquisition of 80% of
EWC Express, which trades in the parcel and express delivery sector of the
logistics market.
Integration Services produced satisfactory results with Volition and Imperial
Air Cargo performing well. Pragma, a 34,4% associate also increased its
contribution from the prior year. The division continues to make a valuable
contribution to the intellectual capital of the group, specifically by assisting
other divisions to expand and integrate client solutions.
Imperial Logistics Africa was established in the period by combining the
businesses that operate mainly on the continent outside South Africa into one
management and strategic structure to focus on expanding our footprint in the
region. The division performed in line with expectations, although the strong
rand impacted on revenue streams. The acquisition of 100% of CIC made a
significant contribution to this division and significantly increased the scope
of our operations on the continent. The expansion of our Africa operations
remains a strong strategic imperative for the division.
Gross capital expenditure of R919 million was incurred. The net investment in
the fleet is slightly higher than the prior year.

Imperial Logistics International achieved an outstanding result on the back of a
strong German economy. Revenue growth was experienced across all major business
units. New contracts were gained and near record volume growth contributed to
the increase in revenue despite lack luster freight rates.
Imperial Reederei, our inland waterway shipping business, benefited from good
transport volumes, especially in dry bulk goods. Two major steel furnaces for
which we perform shipping services operated at full capacity whilst one was
undergoing maintenance in the prior period.
Panopa, which provides parts distribution and in-plant logistics services to
automotive and steel manufacturers, performed well. Gillhuber`s new business
gains and a major turnaround in the automotive and steel industries in Germany
contributed positively. The parts logistics business is also performing well and
the recently commissioned parts distribution warehouse in Herten is operating at
full capacity with expansion plans underway.
The port operator, Neska, performed well due to increased volumes at container,
bulk and paper terminals. The good performance was achieved despite the
additional start up costs and weak demand at the Krefeld Container Terminal.
Due to much improved economic conditions and a more positive outlook, capital
expenditure for the period was higher when compared to the prior period.

The above table excludes contributions from the sale of financial services
products that are of an annuity nature, i.e. results derived from JV alliances
with financial institutions are excluded. These results are now reported under
the newly created Financial Services Division. Comparatives have been re-
presented.
The division had to contend with extremely difficult trading conditions during
the period. The prior year`s results were boosted by the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Turnover growth was recorded in the car rental business with revenue days up by
11%. Utilisation was good at 72% but revenue per day decreased by 2%. Both
volumes and rates of international and leisure business were lower than the
prior year.
The average rental fleet size was 10% up from last year, mainly due to higher
rental days and the delayed de-fleeting of vehicles in the middle of the year.
Retail unit sales at Auto Pedigree were lower in a difficult used car market
with operating margins also depressed. While the car rental fleet size has now
been normalised, we are actively managing our stock position at Auto Pedigree.
Danmar Autobody was acquired on 1 October 2010 to provide scale and broaden the
footprint in Gauteng for our panelshop business. While the acquisition has taken
longer to bed down than anticipated, the panelshop business should start making
a more meaningful contribution in the future.
The global recession continues to affect our touring operations as international
inbound volumes remain under pressure. Tourism revenue and operating profit in
the prior year were also boosted by the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

products that are of an annuity nature, i.e. results derived from sale of
maintenance products, JV alliances with financial institutions and other
financial related products are excluded. These results are now reported under
the newly created Financial Services Division. Comparatives have been re-
presented.
Excluding our Australian operation, new vehicle registrations as reported to
NAAMSA by Associated Motor Holdings (AMH) and Amalgamated Automobile
Distributors (AAD) were 24% higher, compared to a market increase of 20%. The
successful launch of new models, increased sales to car rental companies and the
improvement in the new vehicle market over the past 12 months all contributed to
growth in revenue and operating profit. Our imported brands have also
strengthened their market positions significantly. The strongly growing vehicle
parc of our imported brands, particularly Hyundai and Kia, bodes well for the
after-market activities in future.
Margins improved due to the growth in sales volumes, an increased dealer network
and throughput, effective cost control and a stable currency. Annuity revenue
streams from after-sales parts and service business are also becoming a much
more significant contributor to results.
The performance of LiquidCapital, the financial services arm of AMH, is now
reported in our new Financial Services Division in order to better reflect the
nature of our businesses.
In Australia, new retail unit sales increased by 4% while used vehicle sales
were 14% up. The business remains profitable despite disruptions to sales caused
by upgrading facilities and the lack of new products.
Renault continues to perform well and has recorded a marked improvement in sales
volumes after new product launches. Prior year losses are however still being
recouped and therefore Renault`s positive results did not contribute to the
division.
In the Auto Parts Division, Midas contributed for the full 12-month period
against seven months in the prior year. Midas continues to perform well and has
positioned Imperial as the leader in this segment, while creating a base to
enter adjacent parts and component markets. The engine parts businesses
performed satisfactorily. The recent acquisition of 75% of Turbo Exchange was a
valuable addition to the division.
The Goscor Group performed very well, trading ahead of expectations. Crown and
Doosan increased their market share whilst maintaining a strong order book. The
cleaning equipment associate performed well. Graffiti, acquired early in the
year, produced solid results, driven by new contracts, the 2010 FIFA World Cup
and increased capacity.
During the year, E-Z-GO South Africa, a distributor of the leading brand of golf
carts was acquired. E-Z-GO also provides fleet management solutions, after-sales
service and spare parts for its product range. The need for its products by
industrial users, especially in the healthcare and hospitality industries,
offers good growth potential. The business is performing in line with
expectations.
Earnings from NAC continued to decline as aircraft sales came under pressure,
both from lower demand and lack of availability of bank funding for this asset
class. However, significant cost savings were achieved in the maintenance
divisions while flight operations and the charter businesses improved. NAC now
offers a more suitable range of products for the general aviation market after
relinquishing the Hawker Beechcraft distributorship and acquiring rights to
Piper and other well-priced products.

products that are of an annuity nature, i.e. results derived from JV alliances
with financial institutions are excluded. These results are now reported under
the newly created Financial Services Division. Comparatives have been re-
presented.
The division produced excellent growth in operating profit for the year,
reflecting the benefits of right-sizing operations in prior years and the
buoyant new vehicle market over the past 12 months. The operating margin
improved strongly to 2,9% from 2,2% in the prior year and 2,5% in the first half
of F2011.
New passenger car sales of the division rose 24%, in line with growth in this
segment of the vehicle market. There was a notable shift in the mix to entry-
level vehicles, reflecting continued pressure on consumer debt levels and
disposable income. As a result, the mid-priced and luxury vehicle markets were
less buoyant.
The narrowing gap between new and used vehicle prices affected used vehicle
sales, with volumes flat year on year in a generally sluggish market.
The commercial vehicle market also improved during the period, with an 11% rise
in unit sales across all brands mirroring increased activity, particularly in
the logistics and construction sectors, although the latter is still at a low
level of activity.
Current trends indicate that passenger and light commercial vehicle volumes will
continue to improve for the rest of the calendar year, albeit at a slower growth
rate.
In the UK, the truck dealerships have settled down after rationalisation and
cost reductions in the prior period. The business performed ahead of
expectations despite a market that remained depressed.
Beekman Canopies` performed well, with sales up on last year. Sales volumes at
Jurgens Ci also improved markedly. Initiatives are under way to increase
throughput in this division by joint manufacture and marketing across the group.

Due to the more unified approach across the group in the management of financial
services and the focused marketing of these products, it has been decided to
create a separate Financial Services division which includes the Regent Life and
Short-term Insurance businesses and LiquidCapital that offers a broad range of
financial services and products to the motor trade and motoring public.
Financial Services products are sold through all our motor businesses, including
Auto Pedigree. It is a growing part within our motor related activities and a
focus area across the group. LiquidCapital is the major contributor to the Other
Financial Services segment with a strong emphasis on value added products
including vehicle maintenance, roadside assistance and insurance sales through a
number of different channels. This division also includes our associate Mix
Telematix, a JSE listed company involved in stolen vehicle recovery, vehicle
tracking and fleet management. Vehicle financing joint ventures with financial
institutions and cell captives which our motor retail and distribution
businesses have in partnership with Regent are also included in this segment.
The individual life business made a solid contribution to results, with gross
premium income up 16% for the year. In the short-term insurance business, gross
written premiums collected were flat year on year, reflecting the termination of
poor quality business.
The adjusted underwriting result was strongly up by 46% from R218 million to
R319 million. The primary driver behind the underwriting result was an improved
claims experience and operational cost management in the short-term business.
Investment returns were lower year on year, reflecting the low interest rate
environment. Regent`s exposure to the equity markets remained low, with built-in
downside protection.
LiquidCapital has benefited from its exposure to the motor industry, which has
shown strong growth especially in the entry level segment of the market where
our Distributorships Division is well positioned. The growth in the number of
new maintenance plans written on the back of the strong new vehicle market
provides a valuable annuity earnings underpin to our future profits.
Skills development and corporate social investment
In the 2011 year Imperial spent R116 million on skills development and training.
We currently have over 5 000 learnerships throughout the group of which 450
trainees are enrolled at the group`s Cape Town and Germiston based Technical
Training Academies in order to become skilled artisans. In addition the group
identified 1 250 employees for basic skills empowerment opportunities in Adult
Basic Education, Computer Basics and training towards obtaining a drivers
license.
To date 120 senior executives participated in a leadership development programme
with a leading business school, which was customised for Imperial`s diversified
and decentralised business model with its need for entrepreneurial and
innovative leaders. The programme is continuing and more leaders in the group
will participate in it.
A future talent pipeline is being nurtured through a graduate development
programme which currently provides 108 university graduates with hands-on
workplace experience and mentorship in respect of the Imperial culture and the
practical skills required in business.
The Imperial and Ukhamba Community Development Trust, continues to promote
effective learning and teaching at seven underprivileged schools serving 7 500
learners in Gauteng.
Ordinary dividend
A final ordinary dividend of 260 cents per share (2010: 200 cents per share) has
been declared. This brings the full dividend for the year to 480 cents per share
(2010: 350 cents per share).
Strategic intentions
The group`s strategy remains to focus on its three core pillars, namely:
- Logistics
- Vehicle Rental and Tourism
- Vehicle Distribution and Retail including ancillary Financial Services.
The group`s strong capital position will support the expansion of our Southern
African logistics business into the African continent and further growth and
diversification of our domestic and international logistics businesses. Our
objective of optimising our vehicle operations will lead to selected
acquisitions and greenfield investments in automotive related fields. In the
Tourism Division, we will focus on seeking further opportunities which match our
skills base and can add value to our existing car rental and coach touring
businesses.
Over the past number of years the group pursued a strategy to add parts,
components and industrial equipment businesses to its portfolio. This includes
Jurgens, Beekmans and the recent acquisitions of Midas, Turbo Exchange, Goscor
and E-Z-GO. In total across the group, inclusive of NAC, such businesses
contributed
R6 billion of turnover and R410 million operating profit. We will continue to
pursue opportunities in these segments due to their asset-light nature and good
returns on capital.
Prospects
The group is well positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities in its
target markets, although trading conditions will continue to be difficult in a
number of our focus areas.
The logistics market continues to grow as customers outsource more of their
activities to logistics specialists and expectations are that the industry will
grow at a multiple of GDP growth. Given Imperial`s infrastructure, network and
representation in diverse sectors, it is ideally positioned to capitalise on the
opportunities presented by the logistics industry. Recent strike action in
industries wherein our customers operate resulted in a continued challenging
environment while consumer logistics volumes were also under some pressure. The
acquisition of CIC provides an ideal platform to take advantage of the growth
opportunities in the rest of Africa, which is a key focus for the group.
Trade volumes remain robust in Germany despite the uncertainty in weaker
European economies. The rate of growth in our International Logistics business
could however start slowing down due to the higher base created by the recent
strong performance. We are positive on the medium-term prospects of our
International Logistics business. It is well positioned in attractive niches in
the logistics industry in Germany and acquisitions could be a further growth
driver.
In a competitive car rental market, we are focused on improving brand awareness
and rental rates, while optimising our fleet size and utilisation rates. We
expect a continuation of very difficult conditions in the industry. Results from
our tourism operations will continue to be affected by global economic
conditions and the strong rand.
The outlook for our new financial year is for a slowing rate of growth in new
vehicle sales as the base is now substantially higher. High consumer debt levels
and possible interest rate hikes present potential headwinds in the new vehicle
market. This will be offset by the strong positioning of our imported brands,
improved product supply and the benefits that flow from parts and service
revenue streams as the car parc of these brands grew strongly over the recent
past. Used vehicle demand is expected to remain depressed as the gap between the
cost of new and used vehicles is very slim.
The Autoparts business is less susceptible to declining new vehicle sales and
should continue to perform solidly as initiatives in expanding its product range
and geographic footprint bear fruit. Our industrial distribution businesses
should continue to perform well. The order book in the lift truck business in
the Goscor Group remains strong and our key brands, Tennant, Crown, E-Z-GO and
Doosan continue to gain market share.
Financial Services earnings should be robust in the year ahead, while the
investment results will be muted due to a low interest rate cycle and uncertain
equity markets. Regent will focus on growing premium income by expanding
distribution channels. LiquidCapital will generate valuable stable annuity
earnings due to the new business that is being placed on its book during the
current strong vehicle sales cycle.
Our financial position remains strong despite significant organic and
acquisitive growth during the period under review. We are therefore well
positioned to take advantage of attractive acquisition opportunities as they
arise.
The global economy finds itself in extremely volatile and uncertain conditions,
which may affect the group. However, management continues to focus on our key
strategies and on further improving the group`s returns on capital. Given
current conditions, we believe that it will be challenging to achieve meaningful
growth in the year ahead.
Non-executive directors
Roy McAlpine retired from the Board on 30 June 2011 after many years as an
independent non-executive director. We thank him for his valuable contributions
while in office and wish him well in this new phase of his life.
Santie Botha was appointed as an independent non-executive director effective 1
September 2011. We believe her business acumen and marketing experience will add
to the depth of skills on our Board, and look forward to her contributions.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its interpretations adopted by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in issue and effective for the group at 30
June 2011 and the AC500 standards issued by the Accounting Practices Board or
its successor. This condensed consolidated information has been prepared using
the information as required by IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, and comply
with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited. These financial statements do
not include all the information required for full annual financial statements
and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as
at and for the year ended 30 June 2010.
These condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of
Directors on 23 August 2011.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted and methods of computation used in the
preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are in terms of
IFRS and are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2010 except for the adoption of new or revised accounting
standards, interpretations and restatements which are described below.
New accounting standards
The group adopted accounting standards and interpretations that became
applicable during the current reporting period.
None of these have had a significant impact on the group`s accounting policies
and methods of computation, and they have not impacted the 30 June 2010
statement of financial position.
Consolidation of Lereko Mobility (Pty) Limited
The preferred ordinary shares in Imperial Holdings Limited and Eqstra Holdings
Limited held by Lereko Mobility converted into ordinary shares on 30 September
2010. Part of these shares were sold on the open market and the proceeds were
used to settle Lereko Mobility`s funding obligations to third parties. It is
likely that the remaining shares will be delivered to Imperial Holdings Limited
and Eqstra Holdings Limited to settle Lereko Mobility`s vendor funding
obligations to Imperial Holdings Limited and Eqstra Holdings Limited
respectively. As it is likely that the remaining Imperial Holdings Limited
shares will revert back to Imperial, these shares are treated as shares
repurchased.
Ordinary shares cancelled
Imperial Corporate Services (Pty) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Imperial
Holdings Limited, held 23 864 456 shares as treasury shares. Sixteen million of
these shares were bought back by Imperial Holdings Limited and subsequently
cancelled. As an intra-group transaction this had no significant financial
effect on the group`s results, financial position or cash flows other than
transaction costs that are normally incurred in transactions of this nature.
The group acquired 1 465 719 shares in the open market with a value of R156
million and were cancelled out of retained earnings.
Discontinued operations
Discontinued operations are now immaterial to the group. Their results are now
included in continuing operations in the income statement and under head office
and eliminations on the segment report and this impact is insignificant.
Re-presentation of the comparative information
Combined statement of comprehensive income
In the prior year a combined statement of comprehensive income was reported and
this has now been re-presented into a separate income statement and statement of
other comprehensive income.
New Financial Services segment
The group sells financial services products in a number of its segments.
A new financial services division is being reported combining the results of
insurance operations, the sale of warranty and maintenance products, income from
joint ventures on the sale of financial services, cell captive arrangements and
factoring of premium finance operations. This qualifies as a reportable segment
in terms of IFRS 8 - Operating segments.
Previously these operations were reported in the car rental and tourism,
distributorships, automotive retail, insurance and head office segments.
The insurance segment has been renamed financial services and now includes all
of the above operations. These reallocations have been re-presented for the
prior year. None of this has had an impact on group earnings.
The new financial services segment resulted in the following reclassifications:

These shares will be listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
There were no other material events that require disclosure that has occurred
subsequent to the financial position date.
Audit opinion
The auditors, Deloitte & Touche, have issued their opinion on the group`s annual
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011. The audit was conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing. They have issued an
unmodified audit opinion. A copy of their audit report is available for
inspection at the company`s registered office, and is incorporated in the full
annual financial statements.
Any reference to future financial performance included in this announcement has
not been reviewed or reported on by the company`s auditors.
Preparer of financial statements
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the
supervision of R Mumford CA(SA).
Operational segmental reporting
For management purposes, the group is organised into five major operating
divisions - logistics, car rental and tourism, distributorships, automotive
retail and financial services. These divisions are the basis on which the group
reports its primary segment information.
The principal services and products of each of these divisions are as follows:
Logistics - provides complete logistics solutions including transportation,
warehousing, inland waterway shipping, container handling and related value-
added services.
Car Rental and Tourism - vehicle rental operations span the domestic, corporate
and leisure sectors as well as inbound tourism, with extensive support services.
Tourism operations include inbound tour operations and niche tourism services.
Distributorships - this segment imports and distributes a range of passenger,
commercial vehicles, automotive products, industrial equipment, motorcycles and
light aircraft.
Automotive Retail - consists of a large network of motor vehicle and commercial
vehicle dealerships in South Africa and representing most of the major original
equipment manufacturers (OEM`s). Also manufactures and sells caravans and
canopies.
Financial Services - comprises insurance operations which are focused on a range
of short-, medium- and long-term insurance and assurance products that are
predominantly associated with the automotive market, the sale of warranty and
maintenance products, income from joint ventures on the sale of financial
services, cell captive arrangements and factoring of premium finance operations.
