NOTES TO THE GROUP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. Basis of preparation
These audited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
under the supervision of DJ Case (CA) SA, in
accordance with the framework concepts and the recognition and measurement
criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), its
interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB), the presentation and the disclosure requirements of IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting, the AC 500 standards as issued by the Accounting
Practices Board, the Listing Requirements of the JSE Limited and the
requirements of the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008, as amended.
The condensed consolidated financial results are prepared in accordance
with the going concern principle under the historical cost basis as
modified by the fair value accounting of certain assets and liabilities
where required or permitted by IFRS.
All financial information presented in South African Rand has been rounded
to the nearest thousand.
2. Comparative Information
The comparative figures have been restated in the statement of comprehensive
income as the group previously classified profits and losses on conversion of
foreign exchange transactions in finance income and finance costs. Due to the
confusion that this treatment caused around group cost of capital, the profit or
loss on foreign exchange transactions has been classified as part of other
income.
3.Discontinued Operations
The group continues to classify Kolbenco (Proprietary) Limited as discontinued
operations. There are ongoing discussions and negotiations around the remaining
assets, including the plant & machinery and inventory.
During September 2011 the group disposed of its entire interest in BTM
Manufacturing (Proprietary) Limited, a manufacturer of towbars and other bolt on
accessories for the automotive market. The business and assets of ARDA
Professional Machining Services (Proprietary) Limited were disposed of as part
of the transaction.
During October 2011 the group disposed of 90% of its interest in Lubrication
Equipment (Proprietary) Limited, an oil piping solutions company.
During November 2011 the group disposed of the business and assets of Automobile
Radio Dealers Association 1989 (Proprietary) Limited, a company specialising in
auto electrical accessories distribution.

5. Commentary
Commentary
Results
Headline earnings per share increased by 27% to 21 cents for the year under
review. Net asset value per share increased by 4.5% to 307 cents.
The results for the year reflect the impact cost of the restructuring of the
group that was announced last year. This entailed the disposal and closure of
non-profit contributing businesses, and a refocus of our investment into
information technology and our traditional support service operations.
Discontinued operations reduced headline earnings by R17 million (18 cents per
share). This was the financial cost of losses incurred by these businesses, as
well as the cost of closure or disposal. We can confirm that as at 31 December
2011 the full impact cost of the disposal and closure of these companies has
been fully accounted for and that we are not carrying any further direct or
indirect operating costs or cost of closure into the 2012 financial year.
Continuing operations
Headline earnings per share from continuing operations increased by 26% to 39
cents for the year under review.
In brief:
NOSA
NOSA provides occupational health, safety and environmental risk management
services and is the exclusive provider of both the NOSA Five Star Grading System
and SAMTRAC.
NOSA enjoyed a 37% growth in earnings year on year. This growth was driven by
the increasing demand for occupational health, safety and environmental services
from both general industry and the mining sector.
MECS Africa
MECS Africa is a service orientated business that alleviates the considerable
burden of manpower management by offering an integrated human resource solution
to a diverse client base.
MECS Africa`s year on year growth of 274% exceeded expectation. This growth was
attributed to the diversification of its product offering and expansion into
Africa.
Sebata Municipal Solutions
Sebata Municipal Solutions provides integrated technology solutions, enterprise
management systems and multi-disciplinary professional services to
municipalities, public entities, Provincial Government and the private sector
Sebata Municipal Solutions enjoyed a 50% growth in earnings year on year. Whilst
we were pleased with the contribution and growth from the private sector, we
experienced delays in the implementation of systems to a number of our public
sector customers.
MICROmega Securities
MICROmega Securities is an inter-dealer broker (IDB), providing a specialist
intermediary broking service to commercial banks, investment banks, stock-
brokers as well as reputable trading entities in the wholesale financial
markets.
MICROmega Securities` earnings are directly related to market volatility and
liquidity. The growth in earnings was eroded by our operating investment in an
equity derivatives brokering service that did not meet our expectations and was
subsequently closed in November 2011, as well as our ongoing investment into the
establishment of inter-dealer brokering services into Africa.
Deltec Power Distributors
Deltec Power Distributors is a leading distributor of a wide variety of high
quality imported maintenance-free batteries.
Although Deltec continues to contribute to earnings growth, as stated at the
beginning of last year, we intend fully divesting from our automotive
businesses. This will release capital and give shareholders a greater return
from our core businesses.
Turrito Networks
Turrito Networks is a converged communication provider delivering MPLS networks,
hosting facilities, internet and cloud computing services to large corporates
and the SMME market.
Turrito is a new business that made no contribution to earnings in 2011. The
cloud computing products developed over the past three years are housed within
this business and have only been taken to market in 2012.
Prospects
We are confident that the group is well positioned to deliver strong earnings
growth in 2012.
NOSA completed its investment in infrastructure in South Africa in 2011,
enabling the business to deliver services from 25 regional offices that will
underpin revenue and earnings growth going forward. Acceptance by client company
directors that they are accountable for the safety of their employees and the
enforcement of relevant legislation all result in a demand driven environment
for the business. The decision to franchise the NOSA product offering globally
in 2012 will allow multinationals, requesting our products outside Africa,
access to them through well-capitalised and established local operators.
Our investment in cloud computing solutions over the past three years will
contribute to earnings in 2012. We are leaders in the field of application
delivery through the cloud onto multiple devices. Our products are unique, and
since the launch of our first product this year we have secured twenty public
sector clients and a number of large multinationals. We are currently performing
live proof of concept trials at a number of institutions and corporates in South
Africa. We remain uncertain as to the magnitude of the demand we will receive
for our cloud products however we are confident, based on the current reception,
that this business will provide strong earnings growth for the group in future
periods.
On the whole we are satisfied that the restructuring undertaken in 2011 has
resulted in a portfolio of good businesses with solid market traction. Our
acquisitions and development of new products and services has, in past years,
primarily been funded out of retained earnings. Our realigned portfolio will be
more cash generative and thereby place the group in a position to commence the
payment of dividends.
