COMMENTARY
INTRODUCTION
The Company is pleased to report a growth in HEPS of 17% for the year. The Board considers this to be a satisfactory result in a period in which trading conditions remained tough due to the economic situation, both in South Africa and throughout the world. 
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Group turnover increased by 13% to R6.6 billion, aided by contributions from some newly acquired entities in the Pinnacle Africa division. Centrafin, the financial services division, has delivered remarkable net profit growth of 47%, whilst Infrasol, the services division, has struggled to repeat the growth experienced in the last financial year due to some large projects not materialising in time. The margin has remained constant at a group level as a result of gains in higher margin products offsetting pressure on margins on run rate products.
Good cost control, particularly in the AxizWorkgroup division, resulted in expenses growing at a lower rate than revenue, allowing overheads as a % percentage of turnover to continue improving, this year from 8.4% to 8.1%.   Borrowing costs decreased as a result of the growing net contribution of Centrafins financial assets and due to the lower rates payable on the bond of R315 million placed in the capital markets at the end of April 2013 under the groups Domestic Medium Term Bond Programme.  This will enhance the quality of Centrafins earnings in the future.  The net result was that the 13% turnover growth was turned into a healthy increase in pre-tax earnings of 19%.
Tax rates returned to a more normal 28.3% compared to the unusually low 25.8% in the prior year occasioned by the recognition of an assessed loss as a deferred tax asset in a new subsidiary acquired last year.  The tax rate will continue to deteriorate due to the issue of R130 million in preference shares by a subsidiary to Nedbank.  Preference dividends paid by the subsidiary are treated as non-deductible interest in the consolidated income statement.     
The increase in tax eroded the strong income before tax growth somewhat leaving a headline earnings growth of 16%, but the positive impact of the repurchase of the Amabubesi shares was that the weighted average number of shares in issue was reduced, which leveraged the year on year growth in HEPS back up to 17.4%.  HEPS ended on 205.6 cents per share (2012  175.1 cents).
DIVISIONAL PERFORMANCE
Distribution grew turnover by 13% and EBITDA by 17% year-on-year, due largely to operating efficiencies and excellent control on the expenditure side.  Core ICT spending in the market during the second half of the year has been tight, particularly in the retail sector where both margins and volumes were under pressure due to the decline in consumer demand.  Promising growth was experienced in value added areas including security, cabling, racking and automation, which supported margin improvement. The integration of Axiz and Workgroup is now complete, and the combined entity is set for promising future growth as it has an unrivalled product set.
The Projects and Services division was unable to repeat the growth experienced in the second half of last year even though revenue increased by 23% over the first 6 months of the year. Continued emphasis into this exciting part of the Group will show the desired outcome in the years ahead.
Financial Services increased operating profit by 48%. Centrafin continues to grow its book strongly (now at R270 million from R150 million a year ago).  The funding for the book was supplied by the listing of the Groups first issue of R315 million notes under the groups Domestic Medium Term Bond Programme at the end of April 2013.  This funding secures Centrafins capital requirements for growth at the right rate and over the right term.
Despite the increase in market penetration, Centrafins margins remain strong and customer defaults are at an all-time low.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND CASH FLOW
Inventories increased by R253 million which increased Days Purchases in Inventories from 46 to 66.  This came about as a result of an over estimation of the size of the tablet market and delays in orders on the retail side.  The excess inventory will be largely resolved by the end of September.
Day Sales Outstanding however improved from 56 days last year (57 in December 2012) to 50 days at the end of the financial year.  The improvement in the past six months was mainly due to the collection after the half year of a number of large deals concluded in November and December 2012, which resulted in a disproportionately higher turnover in the final months of the period and a corresponding temporary increase in the value of trade receivables.  
There was a similar impact in Days Purchases Outstanding (DPOs) from 46 days last year (56 in December 2012) to 48 days arising out of the same large deals.
The main cash outflows amounted to R756 million, comprising:
 Net interest paid of R18 million,
 Taxation paid of R118 million,
 The annual dividend to shareholders of R55 million,
 An investment into land in Samrand of R44 million, which will be developed into our new head office over the next two years, and land in Bloemfontein for R2m which will be used for our new Free State office,
 Other property improvements, vehicles, office equipment and software acquisitions (less disposals) making up the balance of R14m.
 Repayment of the Nedbank short term loan amounting to R65 million (including accrued interest) out of the proceeds of the subsidiary preference share issue to Nedbank.
 Further investment of R130 million into Centrafins customer base as it continues to build its financial lease book (R251 million) and its leased asset base (R19 million after depreciation),
 Payments on acquisitions of R6 million, and the acquisition of the Datacentrix shares for which a total of R267m was paid
 Further repayments on the Axiz acquisition and other long-term loans (R29 million).
This was funded by net operational cash flow of R132 million, funding advanced by Investec to Centrafin of R65 million for its finance book growth, increases in overdrafts of R106 million, the issue of a medium term domestic note of R315 million and the subsidiary preference share issue of R130 million. Borrowings now comprise R116 million in short-term loans raised for on Centrafins finance lease book and rental asset pool (which now total R270 million), subsidiary preference shares issued to Nedbank (treated as interest bearing liabilities at group level) of R130 million, the Nedbank loan to fund the purchase of Axiz amounting to R37 million, the medium term domestic note of R315m and overdrafts of R270 million against general banking facilities of R609 million. 
It must be borne in mind that this years borrowings profile is considerably skewed by two assets that should be ring-fenced due to their non-operational nature insofar as they relate to mainstream ICT distribution.   These are the investment in Datacentrix of R267 million and the investment into Centrafin totalling R270 million.  Without these the Groups borrowings would only be R348 million and its debt to equity ratio would be under 34%.
The Board is satisfied that the Company remains well funded for the next 12 months, and ready to meet the funding needs of ramping up stocks to meet the government season in January to March 2014. 
CORPORATE ACTIVITY
Devtrade: Pinnacle acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Devfam Fire Prevention Equipment (Pty) Ltd (trading as Devtrade) at a price that will vary between R5 million and R25.3 million depending on the earnings achieved in the two years after acquisition. A payment of R5 million was paid on acquisition and the balance of the purchase price will be paid in two equal annual tranches.
Devtrade is a security business that distributes high-end electronic security products including fire detection and suppression equipment, public address, CCTV and access control infrastructure. It is one of the two appointed Bosch distributors in the country. The acquisition of Devtrade gives critical mass and impetus to our strategic decision to enter the security market.
JAG:  Pinnacle acquired a 90% share in JAG Engineering (SA) (Pty) Ltd (JAG) during December 2012, which became effective on 1 January 2013, and the remaining 10% on 1 June 2013.  JAG designs and manufactures server racking which will reduce the reliance on imports and uncertain local supply that Datanet currently faces with this product range.
Modrac: The Group acquired 100% of Modrac (Pty) Ltd and PrecisionICT (Pty) Ltd with effect from 1 June 2013.  These companies manufacture electronic enclosures and server racking under the brand names Modrac and Enviroserve.   The intention is to combine the manufacturing facilities of Modrac and PrecisionICT with those of JAG Engineering which will give the group a significant manufacturing capacity in the electronic enclosure sector.
Datacentrix:  Pinnacle entered into an agreement with Co-ordinated Network Investments (Pty) Ltd and Hoolican Investments (Pty) Ltd (the Sellers) on 6 June 2013 to acquire 61 152 467 shares in Datacentrix Holdings Limited (Datacentrix), amounting to 29.8% of the issued share capital of that company.  The transaction is subject to the approval of the South African competition authorities, to the extent required.  Pinnacle paid the full cash price of the transaction to the Sellers as a deposit that will be refunded with interest at market deposit rates if the authorities disallow the transaction.  This deposit has been treated as an investment in the consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2013.  Pinnacle has acquired a further 7 364 581 Datacentrix shares on market during the financial year to bring its total holding in Datacentrix to 33.4% of its total issued share capital and 34.995% of its voting shares (i.e. excluding shares held by the Datacentrix  group as treasury shares).  This investment has been funded out of existing facilities pending the finalisation of the transaction.
The Datacentrix shareholding will provide Pinnacle with a significant revenue flow from the managed services and business solutions market sector which is consistent with the groups strategy to secure a greater portion of higher margin annuity services and solutions revenues in its income mix. 
CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Chris Smyth stepped down from the Board on 1 January 2013 to head up the newly created corporate finance function, which has the specific objective of generating acquisitive growth. He has also taken up the post of Company Secretary, which required him to resign as a director so that he would be independent of the Board. 
Richard D Lyon replaced Mr Smyth as Chief Financial Officer and was appointed to the Board in Mr Smyths stead.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
No other events material to the understanding of the report occurred in the period between the period-end date and the date of the report.
DIVIDENDS
Notice is hereby given that a final and only gross dividend of 41 cents per share has been declared by the Board of Directors of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2013, payable to shareholders recorded in the register of the Company at the close of business on the record date appearing below. This dividend is declared out of income reserves. There are 170 104 449 ordinary shares in issue and ranking for dividend at the date of this declaration. There are no further STC credits available for offset against the dividend before calculating dividend withholding tax at 15% so the net dividend payable to shareholders who are not exempt from dividend tax will be 34.85 cents per share after paying dividend tax. This dividend tax is not reclaimable by foreign shareholders unless specifically provided for in a double taxation treaty between South Africa and the applicable shareholders countries of residence.
The salient dates applicable to the final dividend are as follows:     2013
Last day to trade CUM dividend                          Friday 8 November

PROSPECTS
The overall economy faces challenging times ahead, with the consumer becoming more financially constrained than ever and the resources sector, the bedrock of the South African industry, bedevilled by labour and demand issues.  Nonetheless, the IT sector has remained resilient in the face of these and other economic challenges and it is envisaged that it will continue to remain reasonably so. 
Pinnacle Africa has much work to do to bed down its recent acquisitions in rack manufacturing and security products whilst AxizWorkgroup has the most complete set of IT products of any distributor in the industry.  It is in the process of setting up its Advanced Technologies division that will bring unparalleled expertise and products under its roof.
Infrasol is expanding its services offering and is seeing increased traction, while Centrafin, Pinnacles finance subsidiary, continues to enable transactions to take place within the Group.
