Statement of compliance These abridged financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011 are a summary of the Group`s unmodified audited annual financial statements and are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34), the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and the Companies Act of South Africa. 2. Accounting policies The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the audited financial statements and these abridged audited financial results, which are based on reasonable judgements and estimates, are in accordance with IFRS. These are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010, except for a change in the accounting policy adopted for the measurement of property, plant and equipment from the revaluation model to the cost model as allowed in IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment, for the year ended 30 June 2011. The change in accounting policy has resulted in the restatement of the following statement of financial position balances as at 30 June 2009 and 30 June 2010 respectively: Property, Deferred Deferred Property R 000 plant and tax tax revaluation Dr (Cr) equipment asset liability reserve 30 June 2009 - 171 616 24 044 (3 550) (12 048) balance as previously reported Cumulative (13 592) 332 1 358 12 048 restatement impact 30 June 2009 - 158 024 24 376 (2 192) - restated balance 30 June 2010 - 2010 182 499 21 545 (8 373) (34 159) balance as previously reported Cumulative (38 897) 480 4 782 34 159 restatement impact 30 June 2010 - 143 602 22 025 (3 591) - restated balance Foreign Non- currency

Audit report The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011 have been audited by Deloitte & Touche and their accompanying unmodified audit report as well as their unmodified audit report for this set of abridged financial information, is available for inspection at the company`s registered address. 4. Corporate governance The Group subscribes to and complies in all material aspects with the Code on Corporate Governance Practices and Conduct as contained in the King III Report on Corporate Governance. 5. Transformation Management has continued to meaningfully extend its initiatives in employment equity, skills development and corporate social investment during the period. The Group is committed to a process of further transformation and economic empowerment of its stakeholders, such that an acceptable balance between the operatives and commercial benefits of such a process can be achieved, thereby ensuring the sustainability of the Group in a competitive market sector. 6. Board of directors No changes were made to the board during the year under review. Total remuneration paid to directors for the year under review amounted to R8,4 million (2010: R6,1 million) and share-based payments of R0,4 million (2010: R0,9 million) were expensed relating to directors. 7. Cash flow Cash generated from operating activities of R50,5 million (2010: R159,4 million) was mainly used to reduce bank overdrafts and pay down short- term debt and long-term debt. This resulted in a reduction in net finance costs of 43,7%. Cash generated from the continued drive to improve working capital management will be used to reduce short-term borrowings further. 8. Corporate activities The Group acquired a further 25% of Digital Surveillance Systems (Proprietary) Limited on 1 December 2010 for R1,9 million and acquired a 40% stake in Continuous Power Systems (Proprietary) Limited on 14 December 2010 for a nominal amount after advancing a loan of R1,3 million. On 1 January 2011, the Group disposed of its 60% stake in Corex IT Distribution Dynamics (Proprietary) Limited for a total cash consideration of R9,8 million. 9. Operating results Headline earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders increased by 54,5% to 89,39 cents (2010: 57,84 cents). Volumes increased by approximately 10%, but a significantly stronger average exchange rate of R7,01 to the US dollar compared to R7,59 in the previous financial year, negatively affected revenue and restricted revenue growth to 2,8%. Despite the stronger rand, which normally leads to downward pressure on gross profit margins, the Group managed to increase its gross profit margin from 14,2% to 14,7%. Distribution, administrative and other operating expenses (excluding foreign exchange profits and losses) were well controlled and increased by only 1,7%. The Mustek segment contributed R75,8 million (2010: R38,6 million) to the Group`s net profit despite tough trading conditions with technology becoming more commoditised and consumers spending less. Sound financial management, inventory optimisation and a renewed focus on customers contributed to the continued success. 10. Retirement benefit plan The Mustek Group Retirement Fund is a defined contribution fund and payments to the plan are expensed as they fall due. The majority of the Group`s employees belong to this fund. The Group does not provide additional post-retirement benefits. 11. Industry outlook Windows 7 has recently seen its first service pack and in the coming months Microsoft will be lifting the wraps on Windows 8. Traditionally, this has been the point in the operating system lifecycle where all of those companies that have not yet made the switch to the latest platforms begin their rollouts in earnest. As things stand, these companies represent the largest portion of the local market and Mustek believes the market can expect there to be a veritable surge in activity. It is not just about the software though. In order for them to account for the more demanding nature of the software, companies will have to embark on substantial upgrade projects, either increasing the RAM and storage space available within their current PC fleets, or replacing older hardware with new models. It is Mustek`s belief that the latter will be the more likely route, considering that the average selling prices of new notebooks and desktops haven`t been more attractive for customers than what they are at present. While on the topic of client computing, it has become obvious over the past year to 18 months that the netbook is on its way out and the ultra- portable platform will be the domain of the tablet computer. This is great news for the market, because netbooks and notebooks were challenging to divide into separate categories. Tablets are clearly different from notebooks, so there is no confusion about what they are ideal for. Tablets are predominantly media consumption devices, whereas notebooks are for content creation. This means the two categories complement each other well and it is plausible that users will in time own one of each. This trend will be further reinforced by the fact that wireless data connectivity has finally become a viable alternative to terrestrial connectivity for the masses. Cellular data connections are today far more cost effective than ADSL in certain brackets, for example with users with average usage between the 5GB and 10GB levels and no more than R300 per month to spend on connectivity. Mustek is pleased to note this kind of activity in the market, since it makes the Internet more accessible to the average South African buyer and this in itself, lowers the total cost of ownership (and increases the attractiveness) associated with notebooks, desktops and the like. Interestingly enough, operators` device bundling deals are not as attractive as they were in previous years, leading Mustek to believe that customers will for the foreseeable future procure their connectivity and hardware through separate channels. Rounding the market trends out, it seems as if the cloud era is finally reaching South African shores. Due to trust issues associated with South African corporate culture, Mustek sees large corporates and enterprise customers experimenting by co-locating their infrastructure in their ISP`s datacentre, but not yet fully taking the plunge by renting their infrastructure like a utility. The SMB market is a different story however. Here it is proving to be more cost-effective for a customer to rent an e-mail account, and licences for collaboration software, ERP and CRM packages from a single party each month than to install and maintain those solutions, along with the underlying hardware on their own. For this reason, Mustek is exploring ways to unlock this kind of functionality for its channel and expects to have some exciting announcements in the next two quarters. 12. Company outlook The company is focusing on increasing volumes as it remains a driver of performance across our operations. The Group is placing increased focus on working capital management in order to reduce finance costs further. With the addition of Acer and Lenovo to Toshiba and Mecer over the past six months, Mustek has become one of the most preferred distributors for the local reseller community to do business with. Not only does the company now have an expanded product portfolio to offer its customers, it`s finally in a position to offer customers increased choice. For customers that have relatively generic technology requirements, but aren`t prepared to compromise on quality there`s Acer, Lenovo and Toshiba - three of the world`s top brands - to choose from. For customers that have more specific requirements and want to exercise a deeper level of control over the hardware platforms, Mustek can build configurations to exacting customer requirements through the Mecer brand. The company believes this strategy will serve it extremely well over the coming years. Mustek`s outlook remains focused on sustainable growth. Opportunities for further optimisation, improved production, further consolidation and cost management are being pursued. Enhanced cash flow will be used prudently to further reduce our debt. 13. Dividend The declaration of cash dividends will continue to be considered by the board in conjunction with an evaluation of current and future funding requirements, and will be adjusted to levels considered appropriate at the time of declaration. Mustek`s continued commitment to optimal cash utilisation will mean that cash generated by the operations will be used to fund growth and reduce debt.
