Commentary
1. 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:

3. 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. To this end, the final dividend declared by the board of directors
for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 has been increased to 17 cents
(2010: 12 cents) per share.
Notice is hereby given that a final dividend of 17 cents per ordinary
share for the year ended 30 June 2011 is declared, payable to
shareholders recorded in the books of the company at the close of
business on the record date appearing below. The salient dates
applicable to the final dividend are as follows:
Last day of trade cum dividend Friday, 23 September 2011
First day to trade ex dividend Monday, 26 September 2011
Record date Friday, 30 September 2011
Payment date Monday, 3 October 2011
No share certificates may be dematerialised or rematerialised between
Monday, 26 September 2011 and Friday, 30 September 2011, both days
inclusive.
Where applicable, payment in respect of certificated shareholders will
be transferred electronically to shareholders` bank accounts on the
payment date. In the absence of specific mandates, payment cheques will
be posted to certificated shareholders at their risk on the payment
date. Shareholders who have dematerialised their shares will have their
