Unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2011
Highlights
* Revenue 22% higher to R38 385 million
* Operating profit improved 23% to R2 621 million
* HEPS in line with last year at 727cps
* Core EPS rose 30% to 756 cps
* An interim dividend up 36% to 300 cps
Overview of results
Imperial achieved an excellent first half result with strong revenue and profit
growth. Revenue was 22% higher at R38,4 billion and operating profit increased
by 23% to R2,6 billion. The annualised return on equity for the Group was 23%
based on core earnings.
The Group benefited from a good new vehicle market and improved trading by the
Logistics division. The Group`s new vehicle unit sales in South Africa grew by
14%, which was in line with the growth in the industry. The Logistics division
increased its revenue by 28% as both the southern African and the European
divisions performed well in their respective markets.
The operating margin of 6,8% was in line with the prior period. The
Distributorships division achieved an operating margin of 8,6% against 7,4% in
the prior period and increased revenue by 23%. Automotive Retail also improved
its margin to 2,6% from 2,5%, with revenue up 16%. The margin in the combined
southern African and European logistics business declined to 5,7% from 6,1%,
mainly due to the inclusion of the newly acquired consumer product distribution
business, CIC Holdings Limited (CIC), for a full six months versus two months in
the prior period. Due to the nature of the business, CIC does however generate
strong returns on capital. The Car Rental and Tourism division margin dropped to
10,8% from 11,9%, caused by a more difficult used car market and a challenging
trading environment for the Tourism businesses. In contrast, the Car Rental and
Tourism division enjoyed a boost from the 2010 FIFA World Cup in the prior
period.
The newly defined Financial Services division performed satisfactorily,
achieving an operating profit of R344 million, which was in line with the prior
period. The insurance businesses reported revenue growth of 9,4% and the
underwriting margin improved due to a good performance from the life assurance
unit. Insurance investment income fell short of the strong performance in the
corresponding period, as a result of lower yields on interest-bearing
investments and a flat equity market over the period. Operating profit from
other financial services grew strongly from the combination of annuity income
that includes service and maintenance plans, vehicle financing alliances and a
growing range of value-added financial products.
Over the past number of years, the Group has pursued a strategy to add parts,
components and industrial equipment businesses to its portfolio. This includes
Midas, Jurgens, Beekman Canopies and the recent acquisitions of Turbo Exchange,
Goscor and E-Z-GO. In total, across the Group including NAC, these businesses
contributed turnover of R3,5 billion and operating profit of R237 million, 5%
better than the prior period.
In aggregate, the Group`s operating profit grew by 23%, and Core Earnings per
Share (Core EPS) increased by 30%. The Group has decided to report a core
earnings number in order to exclude significant non-operational items of income
and expenditure from reported headline earnings. The table below summarises the
reconciliation from HEPS to Core EPS:
Cps December December
2011 2010
HEPS 727 725
Amortisation on intangibles other than 5
goodwill arising from business combinations
Fair value gain on Lereko call option (148)
Business acquisition costs 28 6
CGT on post acquisition earnings of 1
associates disposed
Headline earnings from discontinued (5) (2)
operations
Core EPS 756 581
Net finance costs increased by 4% to R305 million on marginally higher debt
during the period. Interest covered by operating profit has risen from 7,2 times
to 8,4 times.
The increase in the non-controlling interests share of profit is largely
attributable to the performance of the Distributorships division in which a
number of non-controlling shareholders participate.
The effective tax rate at 30% was above the statutory rate of 28% because of the
cost of secondary tax on companies and certain disallowed expenses.
The significant decrease in income from associates mainly relates to Ukhamba,
which was negatively impacted by the impairment of its investment in
Distribution and Warehousing Network Limited (DAWN). It also incurred a
significant STC charge on the dividend paid out to its shareholders, of which
Imperial Holdings` share of the STC amounted to R34 million. Mix Telematics, in
which Imperial holds a 26,5% interest performed well and contributed R9 million.
The contribution from smaller associates also increased from the prior year.
Balance sheet
Net debt to equity (excluding preference shares) at 39% was significantly lower
than in December 2010 (48%), but higher than the 31% at June 2011. The
Lehnkering acquisition became effective on 2 January 2012 when payment was made.
After adjusting for the Lehnkering acquisition, the net debt to equity
(excluding preference shares) would have increased to approximately 59%. After
the acquisition, the net debt level is still below the target gearing range of
60% to 80% and leaves room for further expansion of the Group.
The Group`s liquidity position is strong with R7 billion in unutilised
facilities and only 18% of debt is due within one year. Forty-eight percent of
the Group`s debt is at a fixed interest rate.
Net working capital increased by R2 715 million from 30 June 2011. In June 2011,
inventory levels were exceptionally low due to stock shortages, which have now
been alleviated. The imported stock situation has improved significantly and
Imperial`s ability to satisfy demand for the majority of Group products has
improved, reflecting various recent new product launches in the inventory mix.
In addition, there has been an increased investment in stock and debtors to
support higher revenue, especially in the automotive businesses. Debtors also
include fair value adjustments for cash flow hedges which increased by R505
million.
Shareholders` equity increased due to the strong profits and the weakening of
the Rand which resulted in gains on cash flow hedges accounted for through the
statement of comprehensive income. In addition, equity increased by R305 million
from the dividend declared by Ukhamba on the fair value adjustments on its
Imperial shares.
On the back of strong vehicle sales, new business written on maintenance and
warranty contracts generated through the Financial Services division,
contributed to the robust growth of 22% in insurance, investment, maintenance
and warranty contracts on the balance sheet.
Cash flow
Cash generated by operations before capital expenditure on rental assets was 14%
lower than the prior period, which amounted to R1,8 billion. After financing
costs, tax payments and capital expenditure on rental assets, net cash flow from
operating activities decreased by 84%. This was mainly due to the increase in
net working capital of R2 billion referred to above. Capital expenditure on
rental assets was higher than in the corresponding period.
Net replacement and expansion capital expenditure excluding car rental vehicles
was higher than the prior period, as trading conditions warranted renewed
expansion and replacement. Capex in the second half is anticipated to be lower,
as the majority of capex for the year has been spent in the current period.
A net R77 million was spent on the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses.
Business conditions in Imperial`s markets
Trading conditions in the automotive retail market continue to be favourable.
The higher growth experienced in 2010 continued into the 2011 calendar year,
with new vehicle sales up approximately 16%. Demand continues to be driven by
low interest rates and increased appetite by banks for vehicle finance. The
commercial vehicle market, which lags the upturn in passenger vehicle sales, has
also reversed its negative trend and has shown good growth. The used car market
is more difficult, partly because of stronger new car sales. New vehicle price
increases could relieve some of the pressure in the used car market as the price
gap between new and used vehicles widens.
Volumes in the Consumer Logistics market, which represents approximately 45% of
the revenue of SA Logistics, remain under pressure, as volume throughput in some
areas was lower. The construction sector is still weak, although volumes in
steel, bulk food, chemicals and fuel were positive. Acquisitions and the
inclusion of CIC for a full six-month period contributed positively to the
performance of the SA Logistics division.
Despite the European debt crisis, the German economy remained solid, especially
in the sectors and industries which we serve, i.e. mainly the steel, automotive
manufacturing and export industries, which benefit from the weaker Euro. There
are, however, initial signs of a slowdown in the steel industry.
Lower volumes in the international and local leisure car rental segments persist
and competition is fierce in this industry. A difficult used car market also
places pressure on car rental margins. The tourism business continues to operate
in challenging market conditions with low inbound tourism volumes and the
oversupply of coaches following the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Strong vehicle sales, especially in the vehicle brands which Imperial
distributes, benefit the Financial Services division. The majority of products
sold generate a valuable annuity earnings stream. Insurance underwriting
conditions, particularly in the short-term industry, were difficult and
deteriorated significantly from the second half of the previous financial year.
Investment markets were less favourable, with lower interest yields and flat
equity markets.
Vehicle sales
In South Africa, the Group sold 55 800 new and 29 556 used vehicles in the
financial period, respectively 14% and 5% more than the prior period. The
national vehicle market grew by approximately 16% year-on-year for the six-month
period to December 2011, according to NAAMSA.
The Australian and United Kingdom operations sold 5 463 new vehicles, which was
24% higher than the prior period, and 2 366 used vehicles, which was 25% higher.
Expansion of the Group during the year
Acquisitions during the period consisted of:
* 74,9% of Dettmar Bulk Reederei, a dry bulk shipping business operating on
the Rhine and other areas;
* 70% of Datadot, a business that uses microdots as a security identification
system used in the detection of theft. DataDots are most widely used to
identify and protect motor vehicles, motor cycles, trailers, marine craft,
home, business and personal assets;
* 75% of Safari Centre, a vehicle accessories and outdoor equipment business;
* 60% of IJ Snyman Transport, a logistics service provider to leading retail,
FMCG and construction brands in Angola, DRC, Namibia, South Africa and
Zambia;
* 80% of Kings Transport, which specialises in the break bulk sector of the
logistics market;
* 60% of Segway SA, which imports and distributes electric personal
transporters; and
* 60% of Synchronized Logistical Solutions, operating in the automotive
logistics industry.
Acquisitions after the period consisted of:
* 100% of Lehnkering was acquired for an enterprise value of R2.8 billion
(Euro270 million). Lehnkering is one of Europe`s leading full-service
specialist logistics companies that primarily serves the chemical,
agricultural, petrochemical and steel industries. It offers a complete
range of logistics solutions, including inland waterway shipping of gas,
liquid and dry bulk cargo; road transportation, chemical warehousing and
outsourced manufacturing services. The Lehnkering acquisition became
effective on 2 January 2012. The acquisition was funded from new Euro-
denominated banking facilities with a term of five years at a pre-tax
interest rate of approximately 3,8%.

Operating profit 513 436 17,7 350 46,6
Operating margin 6,2% 6,7% 4,8%
Despite a challenging trading environment, which included strike action at
several customers during July, the division recorded an impressive 17,7% growth
in operating profit. Acquisitions made a positive contribution, with CIC, the
consumer product distribution business, being the most significant. CIC was
included for a full six months versus two months in the prior period and is
performing in line with expectations.
There was also a significant improvement from the second half of the previous
financial year with operating profit up 47%. The second half of last year was
negatively impacted by the strike in February and the restructuring at The Cold
Chain. The operations at The Cold Chain have been stabilised and continue to
improve.
The inclusion of CIC, which generates good returns, resulted in a decline in
operating margin as it operates at lower margins than the existing businesses.
The operating margin was also negatively impacted by the strike at a number of
customers in July.
Transport and Warehousing, which mainly services the manufacturing, mining,
commodities and construction industries, performed well, despite inconsistent
volumes and route imbalances.
The specialised freight business performed well as fuel and gas, food and
chemical volumes continue to grow. This was offset to some extent by difficult
market conditions in the cement industry, which impacted negatively on the
business. New contract gains and the acquisition of 60% of 777 Logistics in the
prior year also contributed to the positive performance.
The consumer logistics business operated in a challenging environment, with
volume throughput in the manufacturing segment significantly lower than the
prior period. This resulted in high utilisation of warehouses but low fleet
utilisation. The Cold Chain is still not performing optimally, but has improved
from the second half of last year. The division`s performance was enhanced by
contract gains and the acquisition of 80% of Kings Transport, which specialises
in the break bulk sector of the logistics market.
Integration Services, which makes a valuable contribution to the intellectual
capital of the division, produced good results with Volition, Imperial Air
Cargo, e-Logics and the 34%-held associate, Pragma also performed well. The
capabilities of these companies are used to offer integrated outsourced supply
chain solutions, leveraging the logistics capability of various Imperial
Logistics companies and divisions. Through this, many existing client
relationships were strengthened and some new contracts gained. Megafreight
performed well but we are currently in a dispute with our non-controlling
shareholders who own 40%.
Imperial Logistics Africa was established in the prior period to focus on
expanding Imperial`s footprint in the region, which is a strong strategic
imperative. The acquisition of CIC significantly increased the scope of
operations on the continent and is performing well. The Namibian transport
businesses were however under pressure. IJ Snyman Transport was acquired during
the period and strengthens the business in Namibia, Zambia, Angola and the DRC.
Gross capital expenditure of R697 million was incurred. The net investment in
the fleet is higher than the prior period, which is in line with the scheduled
replacement cycle.

Imperial Logistics International continues to perform well and its results
exceeded expectations. Despite the European debt crisis, the German economy
remains solid, especially in the sectors and industries in which our operations
are concentrated, namely, the steel, automotive manufacturing and export
industries. Revenue grew across all major business units, assisted by new
contract gains.
Imperial Reederei, the inland waterway shipping business, benefited from strong
transport volumes in the chartering unit and in dry and liquid bulk goods.
Increased freight rates, due to low water levels, contributed positively to
revenue.
Panopa, which provides parts distribution and in-plant logistics services to
automotive and steel manufacturers, performed well. Gillhuber`s new business
gains and the strong momentum in the automotive industry contributed positively.
The port operator, Neska, benefited from increased volumes at bulk and paper
terminals while volumes at container terminals were not as buoyant. Rates at
container and bulk terminals remained subdued. The bulk food transport
businesses performed better than in the prior period.
The Lehnkering acquisition became effective on 2 January 2012 and is performing
in line with expectations; it will make a significant contribution to this
division in the second half. '

Operating profit 210 198 6,1 153 37,3
Operating margin 10,8% 11,9% 9,3%
The above table excludes contributions from the sale of financial
services products that are of an annuity nature, i.e. results
derived from maintenance funds and JV alliances with financial
institutions. These results are now reported under the newly
created Financial Services division. Comparatives have been
restated.
Despite difficult trading conditions during the period, the division produced
satisfactory results. The prior year`s results were boosted by the 2010 FIFA
World Cup. Revenue growth was recorded in the car rental business with revenue
days up by 11%; utilisation was good at 70% and revenue per day increased by 1%.
The average rental fleet size was 11% up from last year, mainly due to higher
demand. Both volumes and rates from the international and leisure business
remain subdued.
The decline in the margin is mainly due to lower unit sales in Auto Pedigree and
a challenging trading environment for the Tourism business.
Retail unit sales at Auto Pedigree were significantly lower with operating
margins under severe pressure. Auto Pedigree continues to actively manage its
stock position.
The panel business did not perform well during the period, but significant
management and structural changes were made to the business.
The tourism business produced a pleasing improvement due to particularly good
performances of Edusport and Grosvenor Tours. However, overall it continues to
operate in challenging market conditions. Low inbound tourism volumes persist
and the oversupply of coaches following the 2010 FIFA World Cup is putting
further pressure on the charter business. Edusport, acquired in March 2011,
performed well and benefited from arranging outbound tours for the Rugby World
Cup in New Zealand.

The above table excludes contributions from the sale of financial
services products that are of an annuity nature, i.e. results
derived from maintenance funds and JV alliances with financial
institutions. These results are now reported under the newly created
Financial Services division. Comparatives have been restated.
The Distributorships division continued its exceptional performance, with
operating profit up 42% from the prior period. Excluding the Australian
operation, new vehicle registrations as reported to NAAMSA by Associated Motor
Holdings (AMH) and Amalgamated Automobile Distributors (AAD) were 13% higher,
compared to a market increase of approximately 16%. AMH experienced stock
shortages which inhibited sales growth, although stock availability improved
through the period. The successful launch of new models and the improvement in
the new vehicle market over the past 12 months all contributed to growth in
revenue and operating profit. The strongly growing vehicle parc of imported
brands, which includes Hyundai, Kia, Daihatsu, Tata and Proton, has resulted in
annuity revenue streams from after-sales parts and service becoming a much more
significant contributor to results.
Margins improved due to the growth in sales volumes and effective cost control.
Forward exchange contracts assisted with a volatile currency throughout the
period.
The Australian dealerships performed well with new and used retail unit sales up
7% and 34% respectively.
In the Auto Parts division, Midas performed satisfactorily in a sluggish market.
The engine parts businesses performed better than the prior period. The recent
acquisition of 75% of Turbo Exchange was a valuable addition to the division.
The Goscor Group performed very well, trading ahead of expectations. Crown and
Doosan increased market share while maintaining a strong order book. The
cleaning equipment associate also performed well.
E-Z-GO South Africa, a distributor of the leading brand of golf carts, is also
performing in line with expectations and has seen strong demand for its
products, especially in the short-term rental market.
The Graffiti Group continues to gain market share and is performing in line with
expectations.
Over the years, the division has added a number of businesses that augment and
are allied to Imperial`s motor related activities. The contribution from these
businesses - which include Car Find, KMSA, Graffiti, Bid 4 Cars and the recently
acquired Segway and DataDot - continue to grow.
NAC performed better than in the prior period, with aircraft sales activities
increasing, and the maintenance divisions also experienced a positive turnaround
as costs were reduced significantly.

The above table excludes contributions from the sale of financial
services products that are of an annuity nature, i.e. results derived
from maintenance funds and JV alliances with financial institutions.
These results are now reported under the newly created Financial Services
division. Comparatives have been restated.
The division produced good growth in operating profit for the period. New
passenger car sales rose 21%, ahead of the overall market growth of
approximately 16%. There was a notable shift in the mix to entry-level vehicles,
reflecting continued pressure on consumer debt levels and disposable income. As
a result, the mid-priced and luxury vehicle markets were less buoyant and
impacted margins to some extent. Used car volumes were flat, as consumers
continue to prefer well-priced entry-level new cars.
The commercial vehicle market was strong during the period, with a 16% rise in
unit sales across all brands mirroring increased activity, particularly in the
logistics and construction sectors, although the latter is still at a low level
of activity.
Growth in parts and service revenues was encouraging during the period. The
strong growth in new car sales over the last two years bodes well for the future
growth of these revenue streams.
Imperial`s truck dealerships in the UK performed well, aided by the
diversification of brands. The business performed ahead of expectations despite
a depressed market.
Beekman Canopies performed well, with sales up on the prior period. Sales
volumes at Jurgens Ci also improved, albeit at a slower rate.

policyholder investment returns between the underwriting result and the
investment return. The adjusted underwriting result and investment
return more accurately reflect the performance from a shareholder point
of view.
The comparatives have been restated for the inclusion of results from
maintenance funds and JV alliances previously reported under other
divisions.
The Financial Services division as a whole performed satisfactorily. The
individual life business made a solid contribution to results, with gross
premium written up 16% for the period. In the short-term insurance business,
gross written premiums were up 7%, reflecting success achieved in the broadening
of the product range.
The adjusted underwriting result was up 24% from R107 million to R133 million,
despite much more challenging underwriting conditions, where the claims
experience in the short-term business deteriorated significantly from the second
half of the previous financial year.
Investment returns were lower year-on-year, reflecting the low interest rate
environment and a largely flat equity market performance during the period.
Regent`s exposure to equity markets remains low.
LiquidCapital continues to perform well and generates valuable annuity earnings
streams. The current positive cycle in the motor industry favours this unit, as
increased vehicle volumes provide an opportunity for the sale of its broad range
of financial products and services. These include service and maintenance plans,
manufacturer warranties and roadside assistance. Penetration levels also
continue to improve as new channels are developed. The joint venture alliances
with financial institutions also continue to show good growth.
Imperial Fleet Management is experiencing improved activity and volumes are
starting to gain traction.
Jurie Strydom who has been with the Group since January 2007 has been appointed
as the CEO of the Regent Group.
Skills development and corporate social investment
The Group continues with its substantial investment in the development of
employees at all levels.
To date, 160 senior executives have participated in a leadership development
programme which was customised for Imperial`s diversified and decentralised
business model, focusing on its need for entrepreneurial and innovative leaders.
The Group`s formal development strategy includes the next level of management,
and there are currently 90 participants enrolled in the programme.
A future talent pipeline is being nurtured through a graduate development
programme which currently provides 150 university graduates with hands-on
workplace experience and mentorship, providing insight into the Imperial culture
and the practical skills required in business.
Ukhamba
Since its establishment, Ukhamba has generated significant value from its
investments, of which 47% is owned by the Ukhamba Trust and 6% by the Ukhamba
Community Development Trust. A portion of the value created was liquidated and
paid out to Ukhamba`s shareholders during December 2011. As a result, the
Ukhamba Trust made a distribution of approximately R350 million to its 15 000
beneficiaries. The Imperial and Ukhamba Community Development Trust also
received a payout of approximately R50 million and continues to promote
effective learning and teaching at seven under privileged schools serving 7 500
learners in Gauteng.
I-Pledge campaign
Road safety has been identified as a social project in which the Imperial Group,
with its vast presence on South Africa`s roads, can make a difference. The Group
launched its I-Pledge road safety campaign publicly in November 2011, after an
internal campaign in which 25 500 of the Group`s staff pledged their own
commitment. The campaign is aimed at improving the behavior of all road users
and attaining the goal of safer and friendlier roads in South Africa. I-Pledge
has already made a meaningful impact on road safety in the areas in which its
activities are concentrated. Valuable partnerships have been established with
important role players in the field of road safety, including the Department of
Transport.
Ordinary dividend
An interim ordinary dividend of 300 cents per share reflecting a 36% improvement
(2011: 220 cents per share) has been declared.
Proposed change to STC and introduction of dividend tax
As a result of the proposed changes to secondary tax on companies (STC) and the
introduction of taxation on dividends, the Board intends to pass on any savings
in STC (subsequent to the proposed changes) to shareholders by increasing the
dividend payment.
Strategic intentions
Since the Group`s restructuring in 2008, more emphasis has been placed on
businesses which generate higher returns on capital and have defensive annuity
income streams. In pursuit of this strategy, the majority of expansion capital
will be applied to:
* The further expansion of the European and southern African logistics
businesses in markets where attractive opportunities continue to exist
* Expanding the Imperial logistics business into Africa. The skills resident
in our southern African and European logistics businesses are well suited
to the opportunities being pursued
* The expansion of current, and acquisition of new, distribution businesses
that require a similar set of skills to that of Imperial`s auto
distribution businesses, which will serve to smooth cycles that result from
motor retail and distribution
* Expanding the motor-related financial services offering - this activity has
gained sufficient scale and importance in our automotive divisions. Its
results are now disclosed separately from the motor businesses where it
originated. The consistency in its results will demonstrate the success
achieved in reducing the Group`s exposure to the natural cyclicality of the
car market
These growth initiatives take place organically and through acquisition,
partnerships and grassroots development. Acquisitions and partnerships are
preferred where the Group does not have the necessary skills and relationships.
Grassroots development will be considered where the expansion initiative is
sufficiently closely related that it forms a natural extension to an existing
business.
Imperial`s growth into Africa will be driven by selective acquisitions and
following the customer base into the continent. Due to the nature and size of
the opportunities in Africa, Imperial`s expansion will be cautious and will take
place over a number of years.
Prospects
In the southern African logistics division, year-on-year growth will benefit
partly from the low base in the second half of the prior year, which included
strike action and the rationalisation of The Cold Chain. Given Imperial`s
infrastructure and network, it is ideally positioned to capitalise on growth
opportunities presented by the logistics industry, while its exposure to diverse
industries, markets, countries and clients offers resilience. Current transport
volumes are, however, under pressure.
The Lehnkering acquisition and the favourable terms of the financing
arrangements will make a positive impact on the results of the European
logistics business. Despite the debt crisis in Europe, the German economy
remains solid in the sectors and industries in which Imperial operates. However,
there are initial signs of a slowdown in the steel industry.
Conditions in the car rental and tourism industry will continue to be tough,
although some improvement can be expected in the used car market due to new car
price increases. Difficult conditions in the tourism businesses are expected to
persist.
The outlook for new vehicle sales is for a slowing rate of growth as the base is
now substantially higher. We will benefit from the strong positioning of
Imperial`s imported brands, significantly improved product supply and the
benefits that flow from parts and service revenue streams, as the car parc of
these brands grew strongly over the recent past. In the longer term, high
consumer debt levels, possible interest rate hikes and any prolonged currency
weakness all present potential headwinds in the new vehicle market.
The auto parts business has proven to be resilient through economic cycles and
will benefit from a growing car parc. The lift truck and other businesses in the
Goscor Group are also expected to perform well.
While underwriting conditions are unpredictable, earnings in the Financial
Services division should be robust in the second half. The investment portfolio
continues to be conservatively managed. LiquidCapital will continue to generate
increasing annuity earnings due to new business being placed on its book in the
current strong vehicle sales cycle.
Imperial`s balance sheet remains strong despite significant organic and
acquisitive growth during the period under review, and the Group is well
positioned to take advantage of attractive acquisition opportunities as they
arise.
While the current economic environment will continue to be challenging,
Imperial`s businesses should continue performing well in most of their markets.
The strong performance of the first half of the 2012 financial year is expected
to continue into the second half.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its interpretations adopted by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in issue and effective for the Group at 31
December 2011 and the AC500 standards issued by the Accounting Practices Board
or its successor. The results are presented in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim
Financial Reporting and comply with the Listings Requirements of the JSE
Limited. These financial statements do not include all the information required
for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2011.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have not been reviewed or
audited by the Group`s auditors.
These condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of
Directors on 21 February 2012.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted and methods of computation used in the
preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are in terms of
IFRS and are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2011, except where the Group has adopted new or revised
accounting standards. The Group has adopted the required new or revised
accounting standards in the current period, none of which had a material impact
on the Group`s results.
Core earnings
The Group has decided to report a core earnings number, which excludes
significant non-operational items of income and expenditure from reported
headline earnings.
Discontinued operations
Discontinued operations are immaterial to the Group. Their results are included
in the income statement and under Head Office and Eliminations on the segment
report. The impact on the trading result is insignificant and fair value
adjustments of R26 million have been included in exceptional items.
Re-presentation of the comparative information
New financial services segment
The Group sells financial services products in a number of its segments.
Since 30 June 2011, a Financial Services division has been reported, combining
the results of insurance operations, the sale of warranty and maintenance
products, income from joint ventures on the sale of financial services, cell
captive arrangements and factoring of premium finance operations. This qualifies
as a reportable segment in terms of IFRS 8 Operating segments.
At 31 December 2010, these operations were reported in the Car Rental and
Tourism, Distributorships, Automotive Retail, Insurance and Head Office
segments.
The Insurance segment has been renamed Financial Services and includes all of
the above operations. These reallocations have been re-presented for the prior
period.
None of this has had an impact on the Group`s earnings.
The financial services segment results in the following changes:

Subsequent events
On 2 January 2012, the Group acquired 100% of the issued shares in Lehnkering
Holding GmbH (Lehnkering), a company incorporated in Germany. Lehnkering
provides the Group with an ideal opportunity to expand into global emerging
markets which are served by German exports. The purchase price was funded from a
new Euro facility established specifically for the acquisition. The details of
this acquisition are outlined under the heading "Business combinations
(including subsequent acquisitions)".

Lehnkering which has been acquired after the reporting period, of R51
million.
Lehnkering acquisition subsequent to December 2011
In respect of this acquisition, the Group has translated the Euro-based
balance sheet at a closing rate of R10,5178 and the income statement at
an average rate of R10,7789. The purchase price, assets acquired and
liabilities assumed are still provisional and work is still being done
to finalise them. This may impact the excess of the purchase price over
the net assets acquired. In addition, the total intangible assets will
need to be split into their components between goodwill and other
intangible assets. Other intangible assets will have to be amortised
over their useful lives.
