COMMENTARY
PSG is proud to be a New South Africa company, having been established in November 1995.
Today PSG is an investment holding company consisting of underlying investments that operate across industries
which include financial services, banking, private equity, agriculture and education. PSG's market capitalisation
is approximately R11,7bn, with our largest investment being a 28,5% interest in Capitec.
PERFORMANCE
We believe that performance should not be measured in terms of the size of a company, but rather on the return
that an investor receives over time. As we are all PSG shareholders, we prefer to focus on per share wealth
creation. Our objective remains to continuously create wealth for all stakeholders.
When evaluating PSG's performance over the long term, one should focus on the total return index (TRI) as
measurement tool. The TRI is the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of an investment, and is calculated by taking
cognisance of share price appreciation, dividend and other distributions. This is a sound measure of wealth
creation and a means of benchmarking different companies. PSG's TRI is 51,4%, which is the highest of any
JSE-listed company over the 17-year period since PSG's establishment. PSG was ranked 2nd over 10 years and 17th
over five years in The Sunday Times Top 100 Companies 2012 analysis based on TRI. Capitec achieved the number
one spot over both measurement periods an achievement which we believe is unlikely to be easily repeated.
When evaluating PSG's performance over the short to medium term, we focus on the growth in PSG's sum-of-the-
parts (SOTP) value per share and recurring headline earnings per share. History confirms that PSG's share price
tracks its SOTP value per share. Positive growth in PSG's SOTP value per share thus inevitably leads to share
price appreciation. However, an increase in PSG's SOTP value per share over time will ultimately depend on
sustained growth in the profitability of our underlying investments. PSG consequently introduced the recurring
headline earnings per share concept to provide management and investors with a more realistic and transparent
way of evaluating PSG's performance from an earnings perspective.
RESULTS
PSG had a successful financial year to 28 February 2013, with strong growth in both its SOTP value per share and
recurring headline earnings per share.
SOTP
The calculation of the SOTP value is simple and requires limited subjectivity as approximately 81% of the
value is calculated using listed share prices, while the unlisted investments are valued using market-related
multiples. At 28 February 2013, the SOTP value per PSG share was R72,67 (29 Feb 2012: R55,92), which equated to
a 40% CAGR over the last three years. At 11 April 2013, the SOTP value was R78,60 per share.

Recurring headline earnings for the year ended 28 February 2013 increased by 27,1% to 392,3 cents per share. The
growth was (again) predominantly as a result of Capitec's remarkable performance, while the majority of the
remaining investments also reported improved earnings.
Headline earnings increased by 47,2% to 480,2 cents per share. The increase in non-recurring headline earnings
was mainly as a result of substantial marked-to-market profits achieved in Thembeka's portfolio of listed
shares in the current financial year.
Attributable earnings increased by 54,7% to 625,5 cents per share mainly as a result of the non-headline profits
achieved on the disposal of PSG's Capitec rights offer shares and Zeder's disposal of a 15,1% interest in
Capevin Holdings.
Operating profit before finance costs and taxation increased by 60,3% to R2bn, mainly as a result of the
aforementioned improved performance from our underlying investments, and the non-headline profit on disposals.
Although we focus less on headline and attributable earnings due to the volatility of the aforementioned, it is
important to note that over a five-year period we reported a cumulative total recurring headline earnings of
R2,3bn, headline earnings of R2,5bn and attributable earnings of R3bn. The fact that both headline and
attributable earnings are substantially more than recurring headline earnings indicates that PSG has added
value having continuously made significant non-recurring profits.
CAPITEC
PSG remains proud of its investment in Capitec. Operationally the company continued to perform exceptionally
with a 35% increase in headline earnings per share for the year ended 28 February 2013. Capitec has a CAGR
of 42% in headline earnings per share over the past 10 years. There has been a lot of negative publicity
regarding the unsecured credit market in recent years, and we are well aware that the industry may face
challenges going forward. We, however, are confident that Capitec is well positioned to react to any
challenge which the market may pose. It is fairly easy to compare most of the players in this market, and it
gives us comfort that, as far as we know, 1) Capitec has the most conservative provisioning policy;
2) its sources of funding are the most secure and diverse; 3) Capitec is well capitalised with a capital
adequacy ratio of 41%; 4) its banking model continues to attract a vast number of new and sticky, less risky
clients; and 5) Capitec is becoming less dependent on interest income as it continues to experience a sharp
increase in transaction fee income. But, most important to PSG, 6) Capitec arguably has the best and most
focused management team in the industry today.
During November 2012, Capitec concluded a rights offer in terms of which R2,2bn cash was raised. As the
largest shareholder in Capitec, PSG supported the rights offer to ensure a successful capital raising.
As such, PSG furnished Capitec with an irrevocable undertaking to the value of R724m to take up its share
of the rights offer. PSG obtained funding to enable it to do so and has since sold the majority of its
Capitec rights offer shares to repay the debt raised in respect thereof. As a result, PSG's shareholding in
Capitec has reduced from 32,2% to 28,5%. PSG made a non-headline profit of R393m on the sale of these shares.
Capitec continues to be the group's star performer, contributing 56,6% to recurring headline earnings
before funding, and representing 38,7% of the assets of the group. As an investment company it is the very
fact that we can hold on to our winners that differentiates us from the normal fund management industry.
We remain positive about Capitec, its business and its management and believe that this investment will
continue to be a significant contributor to the future success of PSG for years to come.

OTHER INVESTMENTS
Further detail regarding the latest year-end results of the underlying investments is available on the following

THE HEART OF PSG
The PSG, Zeder and PSG Private Equity ("Private Equity") Executive Committees ("Exco") meet every two weeks, or
whenever required, to discuss the performance of and to provide strategic input to the underlying businesses, to
receive an update of deals in progress and to monitor and manage the capital requirements, gearing and liquidity
of the group. However, twice a year we break away from the detail to collectively revisit and, if necessary,
determine a revised strategy for the group or any of the investee companies where we could add strategic value.
In the past we have communicated very specific strategies, which included Project Unlock Value and Project Growth.
Our latest strategy, as approved by the PSG Board in February 2013, is Project Internal Focus.
PROJECT INTERNAL FOCUS
PSG has historically been an active deal-making company and today has a sizeable portfolio of 36 investments
with a combined market capitalisation of approximately R80bn, employing in excess of 40 000 people. Some
established businesses, such as Capitec, require limited attention from PSG management. However, companies in
the development phase, such as Curro, Impak, Energy Partners and Chayton, have the potential to deliver
substantial future earnings, but require more active input from PSG's side. Then there are those businesses of
which the strategy is under review and where PSG is playing a role. We believe that PSG's investment portfolio
has vast potential and, with active involvement from PSG's side, maximum value will be extracted.
Project Internal Focus is therefore all about developing strategy within the portfolio and ensuring the successful
implementation thereof. PSG will assist these companies to grow both organically and by means of suitable
acquisition and/or merger opportunities. Ideally PSG wants fewer, but larger investments. Our focus will therefore
primarily be directed at the optimisation, refinement and growth of PSG's existing portfolio instead of new
acquisitions in the year ahead. However, this does not mean (true to our entrepreneurial spirit) that we will
ignore an attractive investment opportunity.
Project Internal Focus in action
Although we have only recently formalised this strategy, we have embarked on it some time ago already.
Increased stakes, increased control
Zeder has historically only taken non-controlling strategic stakes in entities. However, during the past
financial year, Zeder acquired controlling interests in both Agricol and Chayton. In addition, Zeder is
currently in the process of acquiring additional shares in Kaap Agri in order to obtain a more meaningful
interest in that company.
Zeder appointed Antonie Jacobs as Agricol's executive chairman. His primary responsibility is to grow the
business. The operational control of Chayton now resides with Zeder, with Willem Meyer as acting CEO.
Similarly, the Private Equity team acquired control of Impak and brought in a brand new
management team to expand the business.
Restructurings/divestments
When an investment does not perform to expectation or does not fit into our defined strategy, it necessitates a
review which may lead to a restructuring or disinvestment. We have no time constraints to exit and will mostly
do so in conjunction with other shareholders.
During the past financial year, we restructured M&S (Top Fix) by selling its loss-making scaffolding
division through a share buyback. Its share price has since increased by more than 170% to 89 cents per share.
We were unable to obtain more substantial influence in Petmin and consequently decided to sell our investment
for R158m (IRR of 16%). Zeder was instrumental in driving the Capevin Holdings/Investments merger and in the
process created significant value for Capevin Holdings shareholders. Zeder subsequently sold the majority of
this investment for a R441m non-headline profit as it became non-core. The IRR of the KWV/Capevin investment
over a seven-year period was 19%.
Changes to management
We have appointed or have been part of the process to appoint successor CEOs at some of our larger investments
during the year under review. Norman Celliers (Zeder), Francois Gouws (PSG Konsult) and Phil Roux (Pioneer
Foods) are all new additions to our group. We welcome them and wish them the best of luck with the tasks at hand.
We would like to thank Willem Theron (PSG Konsult) and André Hanekom (Pioneer Foods) for the way in which they
have built their respective businesses, and for giving the new incumbents a solid platform to grow from.
Curro Holdings
Curro epitomises Project Internal Focus. Since PSG initially acquired its controlling stake in June 2009, we have
spent significant time with management to help Curro reach its full potential. Bernardt van der Linde, who worked
for PSG at the time, has since been employed fulltime as Curro's CFO. In addition, Piet Mouton joined the Curro
Exco since the beginning of this year.
Curro is undoubtedly the most successful venture that Private Equity has invested in over the last couple
of years. Curro's relentless focus on both organic and acquisitive growth is starting to pay off. Since PSG's
involvement, the number of schools has increased from three to 26 and learners from 2 059 to 20 840, and the
business has listed on the JSE Ltd. It has a continued pipeline of new opportunities, and the recent acquisition
of Northern Academy gives Curro access to a low-fee school model which could have a significant impact on the
business in years to come. A plan has been formulated to have 80 schools by 2020!
Our strategy to actively work alongside management proved to be successful in Curro's case. We believe that by
applying the same strategy of being more internally focused at other investments in PSG's portfolio, we are
likely to achieve further success.
A BEE SUCCESS STORY
Being a New South Africa company, PSG has embraced the principle of creating wealth for the previously
disadvantaged. The 51% black-owned and controlled Thembeka Capital is a prime example of same. Under the
leadership of KK Combi, its intrinsic value has increased from R1 000 in 2006 to R1,9bn today, creating wealth
of more than R900m for its black shareholders.
SHAREHOLDING
The board of directors owns approximately 37% in PSG. Steinhoff is our largest corporate shareholder with a 20%
interest. In addition, we are proud to have a loyal shareholder base of individuals who remain invested in PSG
having received exceptional returns.
PROSPECTS
PSG operates in a number of diverse industries, the performance of which is not always correlated. Although it is
difficult to predict the future, we remain optimistic and believe our strategy will continue to deliver superior
returns for shareholders.
DIVIDENDS
Ordinary shares
PSG's policy remains to pay up to 100% of free cash flow as an ordinary dividend, of which one third is
payable as an interim and the balance as a final dividend at year-end. The directors have resolved to declare
a final gross dividend of 78 cents (2012: 56 cents) per share, which brings the total dividend for the financial
year ended 28 February 2013 to 111 cents (2012: 82 cents), an increase of 35,4%.
The company will be utilising secondary tax on companies credits amounting to 78 cents per ordinary share and,
as a result, there will be no dividend withholding tax deducted from this dividend for any PSG shareholder.
The number of ordinary shares in issue at the declaration date is 208 081 893, and the income tax number of
the company is 9950080714.
The salient dates of this dividend distribution are:
Last day to trade cum dividend Friday, 3 May 2013
Trading ex dividend commences Monday, 6 May 2013
Record date Friday, 10 May 2013
Date of payment Monday, 13 May 2013
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Monday, 6 May 2013, and
Friday, 10 May 2013, both days inclusive.
Preference shares
The directors of PSG Financial Services Ltd have declared a dividend of 351,24 cents per share in respect of the
cumulative, non-redeemable, non-participating preference shares for the six months ended 28 February 2013, which
was paid on 25 March 2013. The detailed announcement in respect hereof was disseminated on Securities Exchange
News Services (SENS).

5. Receivables, payables and provisions
Included under receivables are PSG Online broker- and clearing accounts of which R1,6bn (2012: R2,3bn)
represents amounts owing by the JSE Ltd for trades conducted during the last few days before year end.
These balances fluctuate on a daily basis depending on the activity in the markets.
The control account for the settlement of these transactions is included under trade and other payables,
with the settlement to the clients taking place within 3 days after the transaction date.
6. Corporate actions
Apart from the business combinations set out in note 3, the group's most significant corporate actions
included the following:
· Issue of 5,4m ordinary PSG Group shares for R361m cash proceeds.
· PSG Group furnished Capitec with an irrevocable undertaking to the value of R724m to take up
its share of their rights offer. PSG Group obtained funding to enable it to do so and has
since sold the majority of its Capitec rights offer shares to repay the debt raised in
respect thereof. PSG Group's shareholding in Capitec has as a result reduced from 32,2% to
28,5%, with a non-headline profit of R393m being realised.
· Through Zeder, the group disposed of 15,1% of its interest in Capevin Holdings for R799,8m,
and thereby reduced its shareholding to 5,3% (being classified as 'held for sale' at the
reporting date). This resulted in a non-headline profit of R441m.
7. PSG Financial Services Ltd
PSG Financial Services Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of the group, except for the 13 419 479 preference
shares which are listed on the JSE Ltd. No separate financial statements are presented in this announcement
for the company as it is the only asset of PSG Group.
8. Segmental reporting
The group is organised into seven reportable segments, namely: Capitec, Zeder, PSG Private Equity,
Thembeka Capital, Curro Holdings, PSG Konsult and PSG Corporate. These segments represent the major
investments of the group. The services offered by PSG Konsult consist of financial advice, stock broking
and fund management, while Curro Holdings offers private education services. The other segments offer
financing, banking, investing and corporate finance services. All segments predominantly operate in the
Republic of South Africa.
Intersegment income represents income derived from other segments within the group which is recorded at the fair
value of the consideration received or receivable for services rendered in the ordinary course of the group's
activities. The majority of the segmental income comprises intergroup management fees charged in terms of the
respective management agreements.
Headline earnings (segment profit) comprise recurring and non-recurring headline earnings. Recurring headline
earnings are calculated on a proportional basis, and include the proportional headline earnings of underlying
investments, excluding marked-to-market adjustments and one-off items. The result is that investments in which
the group holds less than 20% and which are generally not equity accountable in terms of accounting standards,
are equity accounted for the purpose of calculating the consolidated recurring headline earnings. Non-recurring
headline earnings include one-off gains and losses and marked-to-market fluctuations as well as the resulting
taxation charge on these items. Sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) is the key valuation tool to measure PSG's performance.
In determining SOTP, listed assets and liabilities are valued using quoted market prices, whereas unlisted
assets and liabilities are valued using appropriate valuation methods.
These values will not necessarily correspond with the values per the statement of financial position since
the latter are measured using the relevant accounting standards which include historical cost and equity
accounting methods.
The chief operating decision-maker (the Executive Committee) evaluates the following information to assess the
segments' performance:
