COMMENTARY
1. Statement of compliance
These abridged financial statements for the six months ended
31 December 2011 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 these abridged unaudited
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 2011.
3. Audit report
Neither the consolidated financial results for the six months ended 31 December
2011, nor this set of summarised financial information has been audited by the
Group`s auditors, and thus no audit report was issued.
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 period under review. Total
remuneration paid to directors for the six months under review amounted to R3,8
million (31 December 2010: R3,3 million) and no share-based payments (31
December 2010: R0,2 million) were expensed relating to directors.
7. Cash flow
Inventory and receivables increased in line with historic trends while revenue
growth and the weaker Rand also contributed to the R280,1 million cash used in
operations (31 December 2010: R116,6 million). This was funded by our long-term
borrowing facilities and is expected to reverse in the period through to June
2012, in line with historic trends.
8. Operating results
Revenue increased by 20,9% to R1,964 billion (31 December 2010: R1,625 billion)
and the gross profit percentage increased to 14,7% (31 December 2010: 14,4%).
Included in profit from operations is R62,9 million relating to realised and
unrealised foreign exchange losses (31 December 2010: R14,7 million foreign
exchange profits). A significant portion of these losses will be recovered when
the related inventory is sold and by settling certain foreign creditors at lower
levels than the R8,10 used at 31 December 2011 to revalue foreign creditors.
Mustek uses the Rand/USD spot rate at the beginning of each month to determine
its selling prices with adjustments made during the month should the exchange
rate change substantially. As a result of the sharp and sudden depreciation of
the Rand against the USD during September 2011, a substantial amount of
inventory is accounted for at lower levels compared to where the Rand has
depreciated to. Accounting standards do not allow the fair valuation of
inventory, but require the corresponding foreign accounts payable to be stated
at the closing spot rate. As long as this is the case and the Rand remains as
volatile as it currently is, reported earnings will be in line with the
volatilities of the Rand.
As a result, Mustek`s headline earnings is 13,40 cents per share (31 December
2010: 36,20 cents per share) and basic earnings is 21,14 cents per share (31
December 2010: 36,12 cents per share).
Mustek grew its revenue by 59,8% after adding new products and a renewed focus
on its customers ensured growth in all sectors. Rectron`s revenue declined
slightly after the departure of its CEO caused uncertainty amongst staff. This
was short-lived and the company has regained its focus, growing its revenue
after the appointment of Lindi Shortt as the new CEO.
Distribution, administrative and other operating expenses (excluding foreign
exchange profits and losses) were well controlled and increased by only 2,7%.
9. 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.
10. Industry outlook
Internet connectivity costs - particularly in the mobile arena - continue to
decline in South Africa, lowering the total cost of ownership for notebooks and
desktop computers and driving users to seek more value from their purchases.
As these costs continue to drop, the landscape will become more attractive for
large international content owners and distributors to make their entry, only
increasing the usage case for owning a home computer.
This we believe over the coming six to 12 months will make all-in-one computers
with big screens and high-end components, as well as Ultrabooks, the new
category of ultrathin, super-powerful and power conscious mobile computers, more
attractive to a larger audience of buyers.
The market has also begun paying close attention to the upcoming release of
Microsoft`s Windows 8 operating system. With its intuitive user interface,
support for touch-based input and its cloud centricity, Windows 8 could be the
operating system that finally blurs the line between individuals` professional
and personal lives on the conventional computer.
11. 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 products over the past
12 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 is finally in a
position to offer customers increased choice. For customers that have relatively
generic technology requirements, but are not prepared to compromise on quality
there is 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 their hardware platforms, Mustek can build
configurations to exact customer requirements through the Mecer brand. The
company believes this strategy will serve it 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.
12. Dividend
The declaration of cash dividends will continue to be considered by the board in
