Commentary
During the past year, the board of Intertrading continued looking for a way in
which critical mass could be achieved for the company to justify the current
listing and associated overhead costs, and on the 4th of March 2011, were
pleased to announce the proposed acquisition of a 60% shareholding in ConnectNet
Broadband Wireless (Proprietary) Limited ("ConnectNet")("the Proposed
Acquisition"), the terms of which were disclosed in the announcement released on
SENS on 17 June 2011.
The rationale for the Proposed Acquisition is to lift the suspension of trading
in Intertrading shares and to remove the current cash shell status of
Intertrading. The Proposed Acquisition will give shareholders exposure to an
exciting technology company or the opportunity to accept the mandatory offer as
disclosed in the announcement released 17 June 2011.
Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The results for the six months ended 31 August 2011 and the comparative
information have been prepared in terms of International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS"). The results also comply with IAS 34 (Interim Financial
Reporting) and the relevant sections of the South African Companies Act No 71 of
2008, as amended, as well as the AC 500 standards as issued by the Accounting
Practices Board and in terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the results for the six
months ended 31 August 2011 are consistent with those adopted in the financial
statements for the year ended 28 February 2011.
Documentation
A circular to shareholders containing the requisite information pertaining to
the Proposed Acquisition and convening a meeting of shareholders will be posted
to shareholders in due course.
Directorate
There have been no changes to the board during the period under review.
Prospects
Beyond the successful conclusion of the ConnectNet transaction and the changing
of business focus to technology, Intertrading will pursue an acquisitive growth
strategy at the listed holding company level as it seeks to gain critical mass.
There are several target opportunities in the pipeline, which will be disclosed
to the market at the appropriate moments. The acquisitive strategy will be
complemented by achievable organic growth strategies for the acquired underlying
subsidiary companies.
