Commentary
Introduction
Mvela Group continued with its value unlocking strategy during the period
under review with the disposal of 135 500 000 Vox Telecoms Limited ("Vox
Telecom")ordinary shares and 2 700 000 Life Healthcare Limited ("Life
Healthcare") ordinary shares. Further, Mvela Group redeemed its 265 362
perpetual preference shares for a redemption amount of R3 million.
Subsequent to 31 December 2011, 28% of Mvela Group`s ordinary share capital
was acquired by Blackstar Group SE ("Blackstar").
Financial review
Financial performance
Mvela Group received dividend income of R13 million (31 December 2010: R53
million) during the period under review, of which, R8 million was received
from Life Healthcare.
Net interest expense for the period under review decreased to R7 million from
R16 million for the previous comparable period mainly as a result of a
reduction of debt during the period under review.
Net fair value adjustments and profit and loss from investments amounted to a
net gain of R93 million (31 December 2010: R207 million loss) which comprises
a net gain from fair value adjustments on investments of R76 million (31
December 2010: R130 million), and a net released gain of R17 million from
disposal of investments. The net fair value adjustment of investments of R76
million mainly includes R103 million fair value gain from the Group`s indirect
investment in Absa Group Limited ("Absa"), offset by R38 million fair value
loss from the Group`s investment in Group Five Limited ("Group Five").
Profit from associate, Avusa Limited ("Avusa") amounted to R7 million against
a profit of R15 million the previous comparable period, being the Group`s
share of Avusa`s comprehensive income for the six-month period 30 September
2011.
Tax credit of R3 million (31 December 2011: R46 million charge) was charged to
the statement of comprehensive income during the period of which R12 million
relates mainly to the over-provision of deferred tax provided for on the
Group`s investment in Life Healthcare, R6 million capital gains tax ("CGT")
incurred from the sale of Life Healthcare shares and normal tax of R3 million.
Financial position
The Group`s cash position increased by R129 million at 31 December 2011, this
resulted from proceeds received mainly from the disposal of the Group`s
investments in Life Healthcare, Vox Telecom and Swissport South Africa
(Proprietary) Limited of R138 million, R16 million from dividends and net
interest received, offset by R25 million reductions of interest-bearing
liabilities.
On 21 July 2011, Mvela Group entered into a collar option transaction with a
commercial bank in respect of 7 000 000 Life Healthcare shares ("the collar
option transaction"), as at 31 December 2011 the closing Life Healthcare share
price of R20,64 per share exceeded the capped rate of R19,60 per share
resulting in an equity collar liability of R7 million.
Capital structure
On 31 December 2011 the Group redeemed its 265 362 perpetual preference shares
of R0,1 each. On 3 January 2012, preference shareholders were paid for each
perpetual preference share held, the deemed value of R10,00 plus the
preference dividend for the six-month 31 December 2011 (No.13) of 36,1 cents
and the arrear preference dividend for the six-month period ended 30 June 2011
(No.12) calculated up to 31 December 2011 of 38,14 cents, calculated on 80% of
the ruling prime overdraft rate, this equates to R3 million.
Intrinsic net asset value
The Group`s intrinsic net asset value per share increased to R3,66 from R3,65
at 31 December 2011, mainly due to the decline in the share prices of Group
Five and Avusa.
The intrinsic net asset value per ordinary share net of capital gains tax and
debt is set out in the table below:

shares of 529 million ordinary shares.
2)BEE shares issued in June 2007 and December 2010 have not been taken into
account in calculating the intrinsic net asset value per ordinary share as the
minimum option strike price of R9,18 is greater than the current Mvela Group
ordinary share price.
3)The intrinsic net asset value is unaudited and unreviewed.
Based on Mvela Group`s ordinary share price listed on the JSE of R3,50 on 31
December 2011, the ordinary shares were trading at a discount of 4,58% to the
Group`s intrinsic net asset value per ordinary share of R3,66 at that date.
Investment review
Absa
The Absa intrinsic net asset value of R2,26 per share was based on the Absa
share price of R141,0 per share at 31 December 2011 compared to R1,99 per
Mvela Group share which was based on an Absa share price of R134,81 per share
at 30 June 2011. The Absa investment comprises 61,8% of the Group`s intrinsic
net asset value at 31 December 2011.
Avusa
Based on a closing price at 31 December 2011 of R18,11 (30 June 2011: R24),
the intrinsic net asset value amounted to R0,30 per Mvela Group share compared
to R0,57 per share at 30 June 2011. The Avusa investment comprises 9% of the
Group`s intrinsic net asset value at 31 December 2011.
Group Five
Mvela Group`s interest in Group Five is valued using an option-pricing model.
Based on a share price of R22,71 at 31 December 2011 (30 June 2011: R29,90),
the intrinsic net asset value amounted to R0,09 per Mvela Group share compared
to an intrinsic net asset value of R0,15 per Mvela Group share at 30 June
2011. Mvela Group`s 12,7% investment in Group Five comprises 3% of the Group`s
intrinsic net asset value at 30 June 2011.
Life Healthcare
Of the 17 499 903 Life Healthcare shares held at 30 June 2011, 2 700 000 Life
Healthcare shares were sold during the period under review and as mentioned in
the financial review above, Mvela Group entered into a collar option
transaction in respect of 7 000 000 Life Healthcare shares.
The Life Healthcare share price at 31 December 2011 amounted to R20,64 per
share which translated to a net intrinsic value of R0,48 per Mvela Group share
compared to R0,51 per Mvela Group share at 30 June 2011. The decrease was
mainly due to the sale of 2 700 000 Life Healthcare shares and the collar
option on 7 000 000 Life Healthcare shares being fair valued at its capped
share price of R19,60. Life Healthcare comprises 13,84% of Mvela Group`s
intrinsic net asset value at 31 December 2011.
Mvelaserve
The share price of Mvelaserve at 31 December 2011 was R10,10 which translates
to R0,17 per Mvela Group share at 31 December 2011 compared to R0,18 per Mvela
Group share at 30 June 2011. Mvelaserve comprises 5% of Mvela Group`s
intrinsic net asset value at 31 December 2011.
Vox Telecom Limited
In November 2011 Mvela Group disposed of its entire interest in Vox Telecom of
135,5 million Vox shares at 45 cents per share equating to R61 million to
Business Venture Investments No. 1542, a special purpose vehicle held by
Investec Bank Limited and Lereko Metier Trustees (Proprietary) Limited.
