Basis of preparation
The reviewed condensed consolidated results for the six months ended 31

director, John King, CA(SA), in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (`IFRS`), IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements,
IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the AC 500 Standards as issued by the
Accounting Practice Board, the South African Companies Act, 2008 (Act 71 of
2008), as amended, and the JSE Listings Requirements.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the preparation
of these reviewed condensed consolidated results for the period under review,
which are based on reasonable judgements and estimates, are in accordance
with IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the
group`s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2011.
Review opinion
The condensed consolidated results for the six months ended 31 January 2012
have been reviewed by the group`s auditors, PKF (Gauteng) Inc., Registered
Auditors and Chartered Accountants (SA) and their unmodified review report is
available for inspection at the registered office of EOH.
Financial results
The board of directors of EOH (`the board`) is satisfied with the performance
for the period under review. The statement of financial position is strong
with substantial cash resources to ensure sustainability to support future
growth. Revenue increased by 44,1% to R1 642,3 million and profit before tax
is up by 54,9% to R169,2 million. The growth is attributable to a combination
of both organic growth and recent acquisitions. Earnings per share (`EPS`)
and Headline earnings per share (`HEPS`) have grown by 31,8% and 31,6%,
respectively, with cash increasing to R388,8 million.
Business combinations
During the period under review, EOH`s primary focus was to increase its
Managed Services, Microsoft and BPO businesses and, accordingly, the group
made several acquisitions in these areas.
- Stanley Security Solutions Proprietary Limited (`Stanley Security`)
The group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Stanley Security, a
company specialising in security equipment, for a cash consideration of R83
million on 7 November 2011.
- Airborne Consulting Proprietary Limited (`Airborne Consulting`)
The group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Airborne Consulting
with effect from 1 December 2011 for an amount of R33 million. Airborne
Consulting specialises in software development, management consulting,
infrastructure and managed services. The business was acquired to augment
EOH`s existing Microsoft businesses.
- Other smaller add-on acquisitions during the period under review
The group acquired the entire business of Benguela Health Proprietary
Limited, Blue Platinum Consulting Proprietary Limited, Coros Consulting
Services Proprietary Limited, Systems Consulting and Training Services
Proprietary Limited, and LMM Occupational Health Inc.
The aggregated turnover of businesses acquired during the period under review
amounted to R105,6 million contributing R11,2 million to profit before tax.
Further information regarding these acquisitions is contained in EOH`s
Integrated Annual Report 2011, note 36, which can be viewed on EOH`s website:
www.eoh.co.za
Segmental reporting

Net profit before tax 21 038 14 610 169 153 109 204
All areas of EOH`s business operations have seen growth during the period
under review, with a shift to services in line with EOH`s strategic intent.
Services revenue has increased to R1 026,9 million, a 58,0% increase over the
previous corresponding period, with the margins increasing from 9,8% to
10,9%. Software sales have increased to R264,2 million (increase of 14,5%)
with an increase in margins from 13,4% to 13,7%. Infrastructure sales have
also increased by 35,6% with the margins increasing from 5,6% to 6,0%.
Subsequent events and capital commitments
There have been no significant events since the end of the period under
review. There was no significant capital expenditure authorised as at 31
January 2012.
Transformation
EOH`s current black shareholding is 37,4%, and 54,0% of EOH`s staff are
black. 60% of the board members are black. EOH`s community involvement is
focused on the Maths Centre programme which has as its primary objective to
equip teachers with programmes to develop learner competency in maths. EOH
also has an extensive graduate and school leavers programme.
EOH is certified as a large enterprise Level 3 contributor (AA) rating with
BEE procurement recognition of 138,0% as a Value Adding Vendor. EOH has a
holistic approach to transformation: ownership; management and control;
employment equity; skills development; preferential procurement; enterprise
development; socio-economic development and employee/or relations.
Future plans
EOH will continue to grow both organically and acquisitively. There are
opportunities to grow EOH`s solutions and service offerings and to strengthen
EOH`s industry verticals. The main areas of growth will be in infrastructure
and application managed services, cloud offerings, enterprise applications,
information management, BPO, security and intelligent infrastructure
management.
EOH feels that as a South African enterprise it has the responsibility to
actively contribute its knowledge and resources to improve Public Sector
effectiveness. The Public Sector represents a major business opportunity and
will form a part of its future growth.
Prospects in the rest of Africa are encouraging and EOH sees opportunities in
this territory.
EOH`s job creation initiative is gaining momentum. With the assumption that
skills equal jobs, EOH has embarked on a learnership development programme
whereby 620 young people will be given the opportunity to participate in year-
long learnership and trainee programmes.
EOH is working with its international partners and large customers on plans
to avoid sending jobs overseas and rather to bring global jobs to South
Africa. EOH is also lobbying government to create regulations and incentives
to keep and bring jobs into South Africa. EOH has initiated an off-shoring
business, as well as created an internal role for job creation.
EOH has the resources, track record, know-how, ability and capability to
continue to grow aggressively.
Directorate
There have been no changes to the board during the period under review. At
the Annual General Meeting held on 6 March 2012, directors who were eligible
for re-election in terms of the policy of rotation, were re-elected.
