Condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2011
Commentary
The results for the 6 months ended 31 December 2011 are characterised by
improved operational performance, with a 16% increase in revenue resulting in a
24% increase in operating profit. Primary contributors to the increase in
revenue were higher volumes at existing clients and the commencement of new Edi
Enterprise revenues. Core software revenue, increased by an impressive 15% (2010
- 15%),over the corresponding period. Three Edi Enterprise implementations have
been successfully rolled out and five are currently in progress. Additional
revenues from these implementations will commence in the second half of the
financial year.
Increased profit before tax, together with a lower charge for tax on companies
due to a Research and Development deduction, resulted in a pleasing 36% increase
in net profit after tax.
Cash generation remains strong. Cash generated by operations was again in line
with operating profit. Dividend payments and capital expenditure to maintain
operations have resulted in lower average cash balances.
The Group was rated as a value-added level 6 BBBEE contributor. Management are
mindful of the importance of BBBEE in bringing about transformation and are
committed to developing the Group`s BBBEE profile, in a meaningful, sustainable
manner.
Prospects
The Group traditionally performs more strongly in the second half of the
financial period. Five new Edi Enterprise implementations are planned for the
second half, and will make a contribution towards revenues. The Group`s presence
in Durban and Cape Town is being expanded with a view to improve customer
service levels, and achieve further market penetration.
