REVIEWED PROVISIONAL CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE 12 MONTHS
ENDED 31 MARCH 2012 AND FINAL DIVIDEND DECLARATION
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Trustco is a high growth diversified Pan-Africa financial services group.
Operational segment profit contributors are a) micro insurance and technology,
b) microfinance and education and c) property and mortgage loans. The group`s
focus is to take financial services to underserved communities in Africa and
BRICS, through the application of high-end technology solutions.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW FOR THE YEAR
Group revenue increased by 22% to NAD 713 million from NAD 587 million. Gross
profit increased by 22% to NAD 393 million from NAD 322 million and EBITDA
increased by 15% to NAD 300 million from NAD 262 million. Profit after tax
increased by 9% to NAD 207 million from NAD 190 million, while headline earnings
grew by 5% to NAD 139 million. These results should be viewed in the context of
a) a global negative economic outlook b) a once off recognition of a damages
award in FY 2011 and c) material revenue related to royalties due by Econet in
Zimbabwe, that have not been included, due to a legal dispute.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
MICRO INSURANCE AND TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS
As a segment, revenues increased by 10%, to NAD 464 million from NAD 420
million, with a corresponding increase in net profit after tax of 9%, to NAD 98
million from NAD 90 million.
NAMIBIA
The Namibian insurers continued their growth trajectory with revenue growth of
13% to NAD 126 million from NAD 112 million. Net profit after tax increased 26%
to NAD 63 million from NAD 50 million.
ZIMBABWE
The Zimbabwean venture concluded during February 2012. Revenues were down 36% to
NAD 29 million from NAD 45 million. Legal proceedings for outstanding royalties
and damages are on-going.
Refer to subsequent events.
SOUTH AFRICA
Revenues increased 18% to NAD 309 million from NAD 263 million and net profit
after tax decreased 31% to NAD 11 million from NAD 16 million. The business
model of this division should see change in line with the Namibian business
model focusing on owning a greater part of the value chain. Steps in this
direction have already commenced at time of reporting.
MICRO FINANCE AND EDUCATION
NAMIBIA
This segment continues to perform well annually in Namibia. Revenue for the 12
month period to 31 March increased by 25%. Net profit after tax decreased by
14%, due to an increased cost in educational courses sold. Gross educational
loans increased 18% from NAD 226 million to NAD 266 million. Non-performing
loans decreased 23% to 6.1% of total loan book.
Adequate funding mechanisms are in place for the expected growth in the loan
book for the next five years in Namibia.
PROPERTIES AND MORTGAGE LOANS
NAMIBIA
Another 92 000 square meters of industrial serviced land has been sold during
the 2012 financial year. This represents 2% of the total portfolio of sellable
land sold during 2012. Revenue in the segment increased to NAD 122 million from
NAD 64 million representing a 91% growth. Net profit after tax increased to NAD
130 million from NAD 91 million, a 43% growth.
A total of 5% of the portfolio has been sold over the past three financial
years, in line with group strategy. The current property portfolio should be
monetized within the next 10 to 15 years of which it is estimated that 40% of
the sales will be vendor financed by way of mortgage loans to approved buyers.
Transfer of the property to the new owners should be completed by Q3 2012.
PUT AND CALL OPTION
On 21 October 2011 the Group entered into an agreement with a long time
shareholder, The Renaissance Africa Master Fund ("the Fund"), to repurchase
10.5% of the issued share capital of the Company through the exercise of a put
option by the Fund or the exercise of a call option by the Company ("the share
repurchase"). All approvals were obtained at a general meeting of Trustco
shareholders during January 2012.
Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 28 October
2011 for further information in this regard.
The Group has accounted for the transaction through the recognition of Treasury
shares in equity and a concurrent liability for the settlement. At time of
reporting neither party has exercised any of their rights in terms of the
agreement.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
ECONET MATTER:
The contract with Econet in Zimbabwe expired during February 2012. The Group has
recognized revenue as per the limited data provided by Econet while the legal
process to recover damages and outstanding royalties continues. No liability was
raised in respect of the insurance premiums for the period 1 June 2011 to 17
February 2012 as the group believe that they do not have a constructive
obligation. In addition, no asset was raised as a result of the loss of income
for the remainder of the contract period, subsequent to 30 September 2011.
Shareholders are referred to the various SENS announcements published for
additional information.
DIVIDENDS PAID
For the year under review an interim dividend of 1.75 cents per share was paid
on 10 February 2012.
The Directors of Trustco ("the Board") are pleased to announce that the Board
has passed a resolution on the 29 May 2012 to pay a final dividend of 2.25 cents
per share for the financial period ended 31 March 2012. This represents a 14%
growth from the total dividend declared for the 2011 financial year.
The following information is provided to shareholders in respect of the new
applicable Dividend Tax:
- The dividend has been declared from income reserves;
- The company has no secondary tax on companies` credits available;
- The dividend withholding tax rate for South Africa is 15% resulting in a
net dividend of 1.9125 cents per share; and
- Trustco Group Holdings Limited`s Namibian Income Tax Reference Number is
3356338011.
The salient dates for the payment of this dividend are set out below:
Last day to trade cum-dividend Friday,29 June 2012.
Trading ex dividend commences Monday,2 July 2012.
Record Date Friday,6 July 2012.

Africa and Namibia which is pegged 1:1. Shareholders are further advised that
Namibian non-resident shareholders` tax of 15% on the declared dividend will be

FUTURE OUTLOOK

in Namibia in other jurisdictions of current operation. Expansion into Africa
and BRICS remains a priority of management despite global economic negativity.
Basis for preparation and presentation of reviewed condensed consolidated annual
financial statements
BASIS OF PREPARATION

condensed consolidated results ("results"), which are based on reasonable
judgments and estimates, are in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The accounting policies adopted are consistent
with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011.
These results, as set out in this report, have been prepared in accordance with
the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of IFRS
and the AC500 standards as issued by the Accounting Practices Board, the
Listings Requirements of JSE Limited ("JSE Listings Requirements") and the NSX

With the consistent success enjoyed by the Group during the year, the Board
extends its gratitude for the tremendous effort from all group staff in order to
achieve these results. The Board would also like to express its thanks to the
service providers and clients, without whom these results would not have been
possible.
