  •   Net Tangible Asset Value increased 31.3% to R 244.5 million
      ( Feb 2012: 186.3 million)
  •   Received formal consent from the Registrar of Banks to
      establish and register a mutual bank, namely Finbond Mutual
      Bank,
  •   Became a member of the Banking Association of South Africa
      (BASA)
  •   Raised R 164million in fixed term retail deposits in the first
      five months of operation as a Mutual Bank.
  
  The twelve month period ended 28 February 2013 has been pivotal
  for Finbond in terms of its evolving strategy to establish and
  register a Mutual and Savings Bank in order to provide clients
  with a full range of low cost banking services.

  After due adherence to the South African Reserve Bank’s
  conditions of establishment, the Registrar of Banks issued
  Finbond Mutual Bank with a banking license during July 2012.This
  is a significant achievement for a number of reasons :

  1. It was the first Banking License issued to a local company by
     the South African Reserve Bank in more than 10 years in South
     Africa.
  2. Finbond is one of only three micro lenders in the 20 years
     existence of the micro finance industry (following the
     exemption to the Usury Act and deregulation of interest rates
     in 1994)   that were able to make the transition and evolve
     from micro lender to bank [the others being Capitec and
     African Bank].
  3. In line with the principles set out in Treasuries National
     Policy Document “A safer financial sector to serve South
     Africa better” with regards to financial inclusion and
     promoting access to financial services, Finbond Mutual Bank
     provides Finbond’s credit target market and consumer community
     of previously disadvantaged, low income, unbanked, under-
     banked and under serviced consumers, in the LSM Group 1- 7 (
     predominantly   1  –   3),   with   a  meaningful   empowerment
     opportunity to own shares in their own Mutual Bank.
  4. It encourages financial inclusion and greater competition in
     the retail banking sector in South Africa stimulating market
     competition and promoting affordable access to quality
     services, by facilitating entry for a smaller dedicated bank
     that is limited in complexity, scope and size that is in line
     with both the National Planning Commission’s Department of the
     Precedencies National Development Plan (“NDP”) and National
     Treasury’s Policy Document referred to above.

Finbond continues to manage for the longer term and to invest in
people, training, information technology and banking systems, as
well as in enhanced collection strategies and systems, in order to
build a sustainable bank.


Finbond Mutual Bank

A “Mutual Bank” also known as a “Mutual Savings Bank” is a bank
which is operated on a mutual bank model, with the specific goal of
encouraging savings and providing benefits to its depositors.
Finbond Mutual Bank with its 487 staff compliment specializes in the
design and delivery of unique value and solution based savings and
credit solutions tailored around depositor and borrower requirements
rather than institutionalized policies and practices. We exist to
improve and transform the lives and livelihoods of our clients by
availing them of modern inclusive banking products and services that
benefit and empower them.

Finbond Mutual Bank conducts its business through two divisions
focused on:

      1. Investment and Savings Products and

      2. Short and Medium Term Micro Credit Products

Basel III

Basel III was introduced in response to the deficiencies in
financial regulation revealed by the late2000s financial crisis. The
three basic elements of Basel III are to require more capital for
banks, better liquidity for banks and a lower leverage ratio for
banks.

Although Finbond as a Mutual Bank are not subject to the Basel III
requirements Finbond already complies with and significantly exceeds
all Basel III requirements set for 2018 and 2019. As at 28 February
2013 Finbond’s:

  •    liquidity coverage ratio % was 1112% [1012% more than required
       from 2019]
  •    net stable funding ratio % was 408% [308% more than required
       from 2019]
  •    capital adequacy ratio % was 57% [38% more than required from
       2019]


Micro Credit Portfolio

The overall gross loan book reflected strong positive growth of 36%
ending the financial year at R 166,4 m (2012: R 122.6m)

Total segment revenue from Finbond’s Micro Finance activities, made
up of interest, fee and insurance income (portfolio yield) increased
30,2% to R 207,7 million (2012: R159.3 million).

During the period under review Finbond offered 1 month – 6 month
micro loans from R 100 - R 7,000 with an average loan size of R 1567
and an average tenure of about 2.6 months. Given the short term
nature of Finbond’s products, Finbond’s loan portfolio is very cash
flow generative and a good source of internally generated liquidity.
The whole loan portfolio turns 5 times a year. For the twelve months
ended February 2013 Finbond granted R 407,9 million worth of loans
and received cash payments of R 563,2m from customers.

Finbond’s average loan period is significantly shorter than our
larger competitors and our average loan size significantly smaller.
Given this conservative approach, Finbond does not have any exposure
to the 36 – 84 month,R 30 000 – R 180 000 long term unsecured
lending market that saw disproportionate growth over the past 12 -24
months and that caused significantly increased write offs and bad
debts. Finbond’s historic data and vintage curves indicates that the
shorter the loan tenure the lower the write off and bad debt.
Shorter term loans therefore offer lower risk as consumers are more
likely to pay them back as opposed to longer term loans.

Finbond’s micro credit portfolio is further also not exposed to any
concentration risk and does not have any significant exposure any
specific employer or industry.

Liquidity

Finbond’s liquidity position at the end of February 2012 reflects R
63.5 million cash in bank (2012: 53.2 million)

Cash Received as a % Cash Granted for the period of March 2012–
February 2013 averaged 138%.

Finbond has been able to attract more than R 160m in fixed term
deposits between the 21 September 2012 and 28 February 2013. By the
beginning of May 2013 the deposit book grew to more than R 280m with
an average deposit size of R 310 000 and average term of 30 months
at an average interest rate of 9.49%.

Finbond is not exposed to the uncertainty that accompanies the use
of corporate call deposits as a funding mechanism since Finbond only
accepts 6 – 60 month fixed term deposits. Given the long term nature
of Finbond’s liabilities [fixed term deposits with average term of
30 months] and short term nature of its assets [short term micro
loans with an average term of less than 3 months] Finbond possess a
low risk liquidity structure.

During the period under review Finbond repaid all expensive debt
owed to Development Funding Institutions such as the Dutch
Development Finance Corporation thereby reducing the average cost of
funding by approximately 10%.

Bad Debts

Strict upfront credit scoring supported by robust collection
strategies and processes further improved default rates during the
period under review.

Finbond’s Net Impairment as a percentage of expected instalments
amounted to 5.2% and Net Impairment as a percentage of cash received
(which is more conservative than instalments due) stood at 5.8% at
the end of February 2013.The best measurement of arrears and
impairments on the short term products is against instalments due
and not outstanding balances, because a large part of a short term
loan is repaid before month-end/year-end and is therefore not
reflected on the balance sheet. Computations based on the
outstanding balance therefore distort this ratio on short term
products.

Loan loss reserve, also referred to as the risk coverage ratio (Loan
loss reserves [impairment provision]/ PaR90) remains conservative at
95.6% (2011: 88.2%), which is an indication of a microfinance
institution’s ability to cope with estimated loan losses.

The write off vintages show that Finbond’s 1 to 6 month product
range write offs range between 4% and 8%.

Upfront Credit Scoring

Over the past 12 months Finbond continued to improve on and apply
strict upfront credit scoring and affordability criteria. The scores
on the various products are monitored on a monthly basis and
adjusted upwards or downwards. Detailed affordability calculations
are also done prior to extending any loans in order to determine
whether the client can in fact afford the loan repayments. .

Rejection rates between March of between 47% and 55% for our 3 – 6
month product range that Finbond upfront credit scoring is stricter
than its larger competitors:


Increasing Footprint

Finbond currently operates through 172 branches in South-Africa of
which 46 are located in Gauteng, 45 in Kwazulu Natal, 54 in the
Western and Eastern Cape and 27 in the Free State and North West.

We intend to open 25 to 40 branches in the current financial year
and thereafter approximately 40 branches per year for the next five
years.



Providing Inclusive Financial Services

Achieving sustainable and inclusive development in the financial
sector goes hand-in-hand with improving access to financial
services, particularly for the poor and vulnerable.

More than 40% of the adult population in South Africa are actively
seeking banking and credit solutions but remain largely unattended
and underserviced due to the traditional banks concentration on the
higher income brackets of the population.

There is a need among Finbond’s current customer base and target
market for a Mutual Bank that specifically caters for their needs
with regards to inter alia the following banking products and needs:

  •   Savings accounts that earn interest on small amounts
  •   Higher interest on savings deposits than traditional banks,
      that actively encourage saving [due to Finbond’s higher
      margins on the micro lending it can afford to pay depositors
      more than the traditional banks that have low margins can]
  •   No minimum operating balance
  •   Branch Network in rural areas
  •   Low monthly bank charges and no cash deposit or cash handling
      fees
  •   Innovative and modern cash deposits, transfers and drawings
  •   Unsecured Loans with credit guarantee insurance
  •   Basic Financial Education


Finbond is well positioned and able to provide much needed inclusive
Banking services and products to the vulnerable, unbanked, under
banked and previously disadvantaged in line with the principles set
out in Treasuries National Policy Document “A safer financial sector
to serve South Africa better” with regards to financial inclusion
and promoting access to financial services.

Growing Market Share

Our share of the short term unsecured market [loans below R 8 000
with a tenure of between 30 days and 180 days] grew to approximately
10% and we have an insignificant share of the total R 171billion
unsecured lending market in South Africa.

Given that we are growing from a small base we can keep on growing
for a long time.

Finbond is well positioned for the implementation of its strategic
growth plans in the micro credit market in South Africa has
significant growth opportunities over the next five to ten years.

PROPERTY INVESTMENTS

Two Independent valuations by professional valuers registered with
the South African Institute of Valuers were again obtained as at 28
February 2013, as required by IAS 40.

The Independent Valuations revalued Finbond’s property portfolio at
R 233 million (2012: R 229million).

PROSPECTS

The challenging and difficult market conditions in the markets
within which Finbond operates, are not expected to abate in the
short and medium term. However, we are confident that we have the
required resources and depth in management to successfully confront
and overcome these challenges and that our client base and various
sources of revenue will continue to grow.

We are positive about our prospects for future growth due to
Finbond’s:

    •   Significantly improved earnings to date,
    •   Significantly improved revenue to date,
    •   Strong growth prospects over the next 5 – 10 years
    •   Proven Business Model
    •   Strategic position following the establishment of Finbond
        Mutual Bank;
    •   Management expertise;
    •   Low Gearing;
    •   Strong Cash Flow;
    •   Strong Low Risk Liquidity position;
    •   Uniquely positioned 172 Branch Network
    •   Access to funding; and
    •   Untapped potential in the Micro Credit and Mutual Banking
        markets.

We believe that the evolution from a Micro Finance Institution to a
Mutual and Savings Bank in the implementation of our strategic
action plan will ensure that we achieve results in the medium and
long term. Statements made in this announcement regarding Finbond’s
prospects have not been reviewed or reported on by Finbond’s
external auditors.


CHANGE TO BOARD


In terms of paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements,
Finbond wishes to advise shareholders that Mrs. Ina Wilken- Jonker
will retire, with effect from 1 June 2013, as an executive director
of Finbond.

However, Mrs. Wilken-Jonker will continue to serve on the board of
Finbond in the capacity of a non-executive director. The board of
Finbond wishes to thank Mrs. Wilken-Jonker for the various
significant contributions she has made to the Company during her
more than 10 year tenure as executive director and look forward to

DIVIDEND

It is the Group’s policy to consider the declaration of a dividend
annually.

Given the Finbond growth prospects and expansion plans the Board of
Directors decided not to declare a dividend for the year ended 28
February 2013 but to rather invest surplus capital in banking
systems and technology and towards increasing the branch network.

Segment liabilities


The Group is primarily a financial services provider with
significant business interests in the microfinance environment. The
Group is organised into four major operating divisions, namely:
microfinance, property investment, mortgage origination and deposit
taking. These divisions are the basis on which the Group reports its
segment information for internal purposes. The Group's operating
divisions operate in two principal geographical segments/ areas of
the world, namely South Africa and Namibia. As the Namibian
operations are insignificant in context of Group operations, no
secondary segmental information is provided.


BASIS OF PREPARATION


These Finbond Group Limited (“the Group”) financial results for the
year ended 28 February 2013 constitute a summary (prepared in
accordance with the JSE Listing Requirements, the South African
Companies Act (Act 71 of 2008) as amended, and the recognition and
measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting
Standards and the presentation and disclosure requirements of
International Accounting Standard 34 and the AC 500 interpretation
as issued by the Accounting Profession Council of SAICA) of the
Group’s audited financial statements.


These summarized consolidated financial statements do not include
all of the information required for full annual financial statements
and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 28 February
2013.


The accounting policies applied by the Group in these summarized
consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied
in the previous year.


Audit opinion


The Group’s financial statements have been audited by the Company’s
auditors, KPMG Inc., who have expressed an unmodified opinion which
is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office.
Annual report


The Company`s annual report, together with a notice convening the
annual general meeting, will be mailed to Finbond shareholders
before the end of May 2013, at which time an announcement
incorporating details of the annual general meeting will be
published on SENS.
