COMMENTARY ON THE GROUP`S RESULTS:
The Group results for the year ended 30 June 2011 reflect headline earnings per
share of 6.8 cents, this represents a 119% improvement from that reported for
the year ended 30 June 2010 of 3.1 cents. The continued recession that has been
experienced in the South African construction sector has adversely affected the
Scaffolding Division, necessitating a strategic realignment of the division. In
comparison, the Personnel Outsourcing division has experienced exceptional
results which have resulted in an overall increase in Group earnings.
During the current year, debtors balances that were considered irrecoverable in
the previous financial years were recovered to the extent of R1,3 million. The
directors of Top Fix have adopted a prudent approach, and in compliance with
International Financial Reporting Standards, have reassessed the recoverability
of the debtors balance and increased the remaining provisions against debtors
balances in dispute from R6,6 million to R10,6 million.
Net interest charges incurred in the current year were R3,5 million as compared
to R3,8 million in the prior year. Trade and other receivables increased from
R53 million at 30 June 2010 to R62 million at 30 June 2011, this increase being
attributed mainly to the increased activity levels in the Personnel Outsourcing
division. Significant reductions in the debtors balance have been achieved since
the financial year end as a result of an improved debtor`s collection strategy.
Despite the increased debtors balance, the Group achieved a net cash inflow from
operating activities of R8.3 million during the current year.
Scaffolding
In light of current economic conditions, the Scaffolding division experienced an
operating loss for the year of R14,4 million, (2010: loss of R6,1 million).
Included in the current year operating loss is a loss of R5,2 million incurred
on the sale (R1,3 million) and scrapping (R3,9 million) of scaffolding
equipment.
The Scaffolding division has made a strategic shift from concentrating mainly on
the building trade to diversifying the Group revenue stream and placing greater
emphasis on maintenance work and equipment hire. The Group expects that the
implementation of the strategic shift, as described above, will result in the
division returning to profitability during 2012.
Personnel Outsourcing
The Personnel Outsourcing division achieved an operating profit for the year of
R29,1 million, representing a 79% increase from the prior year. An extended
client base and major maintenance programs undertaken by the division`s largest
customers have resulted in Personnel Outsourcing achieving exceptional results,
despite the current economic difficulties. Contracts for international personnel
placements in Mozambique were secured during the year and further international
placements are actively being pursued.
Safety Surveillance
The Safety Surveillance division continues to perform well with an operating
profit of R2.9 million, representing an increase of 17% from the previous
financial year.
CHANGES IN DIRECTORS
Mr. PR Todd, Managing Director of the Scaffolding Division, has resigned and
responsibility for the Division was assumed by Mr. BW Marais. Messrs KG
Galesitoe, FW Swart and Ms KT Nondumo have also resigned as directors and MR N
de Waal and Ms N Sonjani have been appointed to the board of directors.
JOINT VENTURES AND DISPOSALS
In addition to the BEE joint ventures, the Group has commenced a further BEE
operation, `Career Jump`, in which the Group has a 40% holding. `Career Jump` is
an internet based recruitment data base and search engine.
Effective 1 January 2011, the Group disposed of its entire interest in property
holding company, Plenty Properties 115 (Pty) Ltd, to the 49% joint venture,
Umdeni Exploration (Pty) Ltd, at book value. Settlement of the consideration for
the disposal has been recognised on loan account, the terms of which are
interest free with no fixed terms of repayment.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
An amount of R4 million (2010: R 12,5 million) is due to MBM Technical Services
(Pty) Ltd, a company controlled by director Mr. BW Marais. The loan bears
interest at the prevailing prime overdraft rate plus 1% and is repayable on
demand. R1,4 million in interest charges were raised against the loan during the
current financial year and MBM Technical Services (Pty) Ltd has given the
assurance that it will not withdraw this financing to the detriment of the
Group`s ability to meet its other financial obligations.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
The shortage of skilled artisans experienced in Sub-Saharan Africa leave the
Personnel Outsourcing division`s operations well placed to take advantage of
organic growth opportunities. The changes that have been implemented within the
Scaffolding Division, including stringent cost cutting measures, are expected to
return the Scaffolding division to profitability by 2012. The Safety
Surveillance division is expected to continue to operate well and contribute to
Group profitability. The acquisition of a 40% interest in BEE operation, `Career
Jump`, is expected to further contribute towards the profitability and growth of
the Group. The Group is focused on securing new contract business in all
divisions.
