JSE LIMITED REVIEWED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR the six months ended 30 June 2013
JSE DELIVERS STRONG PERFORMANCE IN SIX MONTHS TO
30 JUNE 2013 AND announces THE APPOINTMENT OF A
NEW NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The JSE Limited ("JSE" or "Group") delivered a strong performance in the
six months to 30 June 2013.
Group operating revenue of R793.5m is up 16% (H1 2012: R682.8m) as
a result of:
- increased trading activity in the Equity, Financial Derivatives, Interest
Rate and Currency Markets; and
- continued strong performance from the Post-Trade Services and
Market Data Divisions.
Group earnings are up 191% to R292.7m (2012: R100.7m) and Group
headline earnings are up 35% to R285.2m (2012: R211.2m) driven by
the Group operating revenue performance in H1 2013 and the effect of
the impairment in the comparable period in 2012 (H1 2012: R72.6m).
The strong growth in trade volumes in the Equity Market (up 58.16% from
the same period in 2012; value traded up 22.2% from the same period)
enabled the JSE to provide approx. R60m in rebates to Equity Market
members in H1 2013, amounting to 8% of Group operating revenue.
While the Equity Market remains the JSE's biggest revenue generator,
above-average H1 2013 revenue growth from most of the JSE's business
units has contributed to the Group's H1 2013 revenue mix remaining in
line with that of H1 2012.
Group operating expenditure is down 3% at R487.8m (2012: R503.6m).
Of this:
- although head count is slightly up (2013: 503; 2012: 495), personnel
expenses for the six months have increased 19% year-on-year. This
reflects the impact of a larger proportion of these costs being
expensed rather than capitalised to projects (2013: R4m; 2012:
R29m). Gross remuneration actually paid for the six months to
June 2013 has only increased by 2% as a consequence of the
average salary increase for 2013 being contained to 5.6%;
- depreciation is up 28%, primarily as a result of the investment in the
new Equity market trading engine which was successfully implemented
in H2 2012; and
- the comparable period in 2012 was impacted by the effect of the
R72.6m impairment. The need, or otherwise, to make any further
impairments will be reviewed at year end.
The Group cash position is strong at over R1bn with the only significant
movement being the R100m that the JSE contributed in January 2013 in
establishing the Safcom Default Fund, a necessary condition to achieving
CPSS-IOSCO compliance for the Group Safcom Clearing House.
The Board has not declared an interim dividend, in line with its previously
stated preference for a single annual dividend based on a full year's
results. No change to the JSE's current dividend policy is contemplated,
which is to maintain dividend cover between 2.5x and 1.5x after-tax
profits.
Strategic and operating focus
The JSE is focused on growing all its business areas, none of which is
regarded as mature. Most projects are designed to strengthen the JSE's
delivery of products and services and many will introduce new lines of
revenue. In particular:
- T+3: Phase I of the JSE's move to T+3 was successfully implemented
on 21 July 2013. Phases 2 of the T+3 implementation will take place
in H2 2014 with Phase 3 as soon as possible after that. The JSE will
only be able to confirm the cost of these implementations once
detailed technical design work has been completed;
- a new web-based portal through which JSE Market Data clients can
report their monthly usage direct to the JSE, has been rolled out. This
reduces administration and complexity enabling JSE sales teams to
focus on building the Market Data client base and revenue;
- the JSE's initial colocation data centre with space for 35 client racks
at a capex cost of approx. R50m, of which the 2013 spend is expected
to be approx. R38m and the remainder in 2014. There will be on going
spend, the extent of which will depend on the rate at which the
colocation environment is expanded to meet client needs. Colocation
will introduce a new revenue line and increase speed of access to and
liquidity across all markets;
- the possibility of providing an Over-The-Counter clearing service
continues to be investigated;
- subject to confirmation on costs and functional fit, the Equity
Derivatives market will be migrated to the same trading engine as the
JSE's Equity Market and to a new clearing engine. This move will help
internationalise this market and increase speed liquidity on the
market. This is planned for mid-2015. Investment confirmation will
follow the imminent detailed design;
- work with National Treasury and industry participants to implement an
electronic trading platform (ETP) for the South African Government
bond market is gaining momentum; and
- some elements of the research into a possible new Equity Market
Business Model have been completed but the new Model is not
expected to be finalised this year. As previously indicated, the JSE
expects to be on BDA until at least the end of 2015 and possibly
longer. The work to date on the Equity Market Business Model has
been expensed.
Directorate
The Board is delighted to announce that Michael Jordaan, who retires as
CEO of First National Bank in December this year, will join the JSE Board
as a non-executive director with effect from 1 January 2014.
Outlook
The JSE is a largely fixed cost business. Costs are tightly controlled while
the necessary capital investments are made in areas that will enhance the
Group's sustainability. The Group's revenues are variable and largely
driven by activity on the various markets the Group operates. For this
reason, the Board makes no projections regarding the Group's
performance in H2 2013.
The Board is excited by the opportunities ahead as the Group continues
to make good progress towards delivering on its 2017 strategic
objectives. The Board is confident that as these deliveries succeed, the
JSE will increasingly be positioned as a growing, formidable and
sustainable business.

* Investor Protection Funds comprises the JSE Guarantee Fund Trust, JSE Derivatives Fidelity Fund Trust and BESA Guarantee Fund Trust (the "Trusts").
The JSE maintains these Trusts for investor protection purposes as required under the Financial Markets Act, 2012. The JSE is required to consolidate the Trusts
into the results of the Group in terms of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). However, as these Trusts are legally separate from the JSE, neither
the JSE nor its shareholders have any right to the net assets of these Trusts on winding up. In certain limited circumstances, the JSE is entitled to the income
and surplus assets of the Trusts. For enhanced understanding, the Trusts have been shown separately, (before inter-company adjustments), although, for
compliance with IFRS, the results form part of the Group financial statements.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 13 August 2013.
3. Significant accounting policies
Change in accounting policies
Except for the new standards adopted, all accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements
are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2012.
The Group has adopted the following new standards with a date of initial application of 1 January 2013:
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group has changed its accounting policy for determining whether it has control over and consequently whether it consolidates its investees.
The Group reassessed its control in investees as at 1 January 2013, and can confirm IFRS 10 does not have a significant impact to the Group.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
IFRS 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements. The Group has applied
the new fair value measurement prospectively. This change has had no significant impact on the measurement of the Group assets and liabilities.
4. Comparative figures
Unless otherwise indicated, comparative figures refer to the six months ended 30 June 2012.
5. Estimates
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application
of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's
accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as
at and for the year ended 31 December 2012.
6. Financial risk management
The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at
and for the year ended 31 December 2012.

Vesting of Allocation 1 Tranche 1 shares during period under review
The first award ("Allocation 1") under LTIS 2010 was granted in May 2010 with the following vesting profile:
Tranche 1: 50% of the total award, which has now vested on 1 May 2013
Tranche 2: 50% of the total award, vesting on 1 May 2014
As at 30 June 2013, details of Allocation 1 were as follows:

Tranche 2 shares available for vesting in May 2014 134 450 60 350 194 800
As at the vesting date of 1 May 2013, all available Tranche 1 retention shares (134 450 shares) vested for those participants still in the employment
of the JSE on this date.
In respect of the Tranche 1 corporate performance shares, the Board assessed performance over the three-year vesting term against the pre-set
financial and strategic targets, and determined that 54% of the available Tranche 1 shares (being 60 350 shares) should vest for those participants
still in the employ of the JSE on 1 May 2013.
The remainder of the Tranche 1 corporate performance shares were forfeited by participants. The vesting of Tranche 1 shares resulted in a
movement in equity of R11.1m (a reversal against the LTIS 2010 reserve), calculated at grant date fair value.
Grant of Allocation 4 share awards during period under review
On 22 June 2012 shareholders approved a special resolution authorising financial assistance to the JSE LTIS 2010 Trust for a period of two years,
for the purpose of acquiring JSE ordinary shares in the open market for allocation to selected employees in accordance with the rules of LTIS 2010.
In accordance with the terms of this resolution the Board approved a fresh annual allocation of shares ("Allocation 4") to selected employees for
the 2013 year, and these individual allocations were all accepted by scheme participants by 17 May 2013. Allocation 4 comprised a total of
457 100 JSE ordinary shares and these shares were acquired in the open market by 17 May 2013.
Notwithstanding the fair value grant date of 17 May 2013, a charge to profit and loss in respect of Allocation 4 has been brought to account as
from 1 June 2013 based on the materiality principle. Information on Allocation 4 is as follows:

been identified as not being able to deliver value. There have been no further impairments for the period under review.
12. Income tax expense
The Group's consolidated effective tax rate for the six months ended 30 June 2013 was 28% (for the six months ended 30 June 2012: 60%; for
the year ended 31 December 2012: 42%). The reason for the higher effective tax rate for the prior periods was due to the unwinding of deferred
tax amounting to R40.5m in respect of the impairments.
