Basis of preparation
The reviewed condensed consolidated results for the six months ended 31 January 2013
('period under review') have been prepared by the Financial Director, John King, CA (SA),
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'), IAS 34 - Interim
Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting
Practices Committee, the South African Companies Act, 2008 (Act 71 of 2008), and
the JSE Limited 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 2012.
Review opinion
The condensed consolidated results for the six months ended 31 January 2013 have been
reviewed by the group 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 six months
under review. The statement of financial position is strong with substantial cash resources
to ensure sustainability and to support future growth. Revenue increased by 45,5% to
R2 389,2 million and profit after tax is up by 53,5% to R163,5 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 38,7% and 35,2%, respectively, with cash increasing to R532,5 million.
Business combinations
During the six months under review, EOH's acquisitive strategy was to consolidate and
complement its existing service offerings in its consulting, managed services, human capital
and industrial technology businesses and grow its public sector business. Accordingly,
the group made several acquisitions totalling R224,6 million (less than 5% of EOH's market
cap) of which R124,9 million is payable in cash and the balance through the issue of equity
instruments. The goodwill associated therewith is R179,3 million.
The cumulative assets acquired were R406,5 million. The cumulative liabilities acquired were
R357,8 million. The aggregated revenue of these businesses included in these results was
R184,0 million, netting a profit before tax of R29,9 million.
Included in the above acquisitions was the purchase of 100% of the issued share capital
of Siemens IT Solutions and Services South Africa Proprietary Limited, a company
offering IT services primarily to the Public Sector. EOH acquired the shares with effect
from 1 October 2012. The assets acquired were R312,8 million. The liabilities acquired
were R308,4 million.
Segmental reporting
EOH's revenue for the six months ended 31 January 2013 was derived from the provision of
services (consulting systems implementation and integration and managed services), software
(software sales and maintenance revenue) and infrastructure products.

Profit before tax 166 923 111 904 43 635 36 211 26 445 21 038 237 003 169 153
All areas of EOH's business operations have seen growth during the period under review with
the revenue from services being the most significant revenue generator. Services revenue
has increased to R1 660,2 million, a 61,7% increase over the previous period. Software sales
have increased to R350,6 million (increase of 32,7%). Infrastructure sales have also increased
by 7,7% to R378,3 million. The overall operating margin is 9,9%.
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 2013.
Transformation
EOH is certified as a Large Enterprise Level 2 Contributor with BEE Procurement Recognition
of 156% as a Value Adding Vendor.
EOH's current black shareholding is 34,62%. 59% of EOH's staff and 55% of its board members
are black.
EOH's Corporate Social Investment initiatives are focused around education and wellness.
One of our community involvement projects is the Maths Centre Programme which has its
primary objective to equip teachers with skills to develop learner competency in maths.
We have also given our support to The Child and Youth Development Programme of
AfrikaTikkun. This programme provides support to youth during their school career and
assists them in finding employment in the workplace.
Our Enterprise Development initiatives are aimed at developing black-owned ICT companies
through financial and non-financial support which includes the transfer of business skills.
EOH has 620 trainees participating in a year-long graduate and school leavers' programme
and has spent R12,7 million on this programme during the six months under review.
Future plans
EOH will continue to expand its solutions and service offerings and strengthen its industry
verticals. This will be achieved through both organic and acquisitive growth. The main
areas of growth include managed services, cloud offerings, enterprise applications,
information management, Business Process Outsourcing, security solutions and industrial
and infrastructure solutions.
EOH has expanded its activities in the Public Sector and will continue to actively contribute
its knowledge, know-how and organisational ability to improve service delivery. There are
many opportunities in this sector and EOH is being recognised for its delivery capability
in this area.
EOH views Africa as a growth area and will continue to pursue opportunities in identified
countries.
EOH is well positioned to continue to grow aggressively. It has the people, financial resources,
agility and know-how to continue to grow all areas of its business and to expand
into new services and territories.
Job creation initiative
EOH has taken its job creation initiative to another level and is running workshops with its major
customers and vendors with the view to encouraging other businesses to follow EOH's example.
EOH employed 620 people to participate in its year-long learnership and trainee programmes
and another intake of young learners and graduates will join EOH later this year.
It is EOH's aim to encourage job creation by working with its customers, business partners and
government. EOH hopes to mobilise business to take advantage of the Government incentive
programmes, especially in the areas of internships and learnerships.
Directorate
During the period under review, Mathews Phosa (Chairman) resigned with effect from
30 November 2012. There have been no other changes to the board. At the AGM held on
12 February 2013, directors who were eligible for re-election, were re-elected. The board is in
the process of appointing a new non-executive chairman.
