SEGMENT REPORT



IFRS8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information
about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or
aggregations of operating segments that meet specific criteria. Operating
segments are components of an entity about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker. The Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating
decision maker of the Group.

The Group does not have different operating segments. The business is
conducted in South Africa and is managed centrally with no branches.
The company is managed as one operating unit.

All revenues from external customers originate in South Africa.

LCR and Digital Direct+ are two technologies which are fully integrated
to provide one telecommunications solution to our customers and are not
separately managed.

No single customer makes up more than 10% of the Group’s Revenue.


1. COMPANY PROFILE

TeleMasters is licensed to provide voice, data and cloud-based corporate communication. The Company supplies fixed-
line, fixed cellular, fixed data and virtual PBX services countrywide.

2. FINANCIAL RESULTS

2.1 Statement of compliance and basis of preparation
The un-audited abridged condensed financial results comprise a condensed statement of financial position, condensed
statement of comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flow
for the 3 and 9 month periods ended 31 March 2015, which have been presented in accordance with the framework
concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the
information required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the South African Companies Act as amended, SAICA
Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Reporting Pronouncements
as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and the JSE Listings Requirements. The results have been prepared
in accordance with accounting policies of Group that are consistent with those applied in the audited annual financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2014.

These results were prepared under the supervision of Brandon Topham CA (SA) and have not been audited or reviewed
by the Auditors of the Group.

2.2 Commentary on operating results
The net profit for the nine months after tax was R2 243 452 compared to R2 584 270 with Earnings per share down from
6.15 to 5.34 cents per share. The decrease is due to investment in additional sales and technical staff as well as certain
once off costs to improve the medical benefits for staff. Whilst Revenue is down from R79 779 823 to R73 495 626 this is
mainly due to the loss of old LCR contracts and the board is satisfied that the growth in Revenue is progressing at a pace
which will ensure that previous Revenue levels will be attained once again in the coming financial year. The Gross Profit
margin is at 32% which is extremely positive when considering the competitive industry and the constantly changing
suppliers’ pricing structures. This volatility has forced the Group to be constantly moving products between different
suppliers, which has added to the sustainability of our product offering as we are no longer dependent on one supplier as
we were in previous years. The difficulties experienced with the Telkom infrastructure during March had an adverse effect
on the Group’s profitability which effected all organisations in the telecommunications sector. We are pleased that costs
have been adequately controlled to compensate for the decreased Revenue figures.

Cash generation was positive and operating cash generated R7 544 186 enabling the purchase of R3 278 376 additional
assets and the repayment of R2 607 391 of long term borrowings. Our gearing remains extremely low with only R648 484
long term liabilities and a 2:1 current asset ratio.

Net asset value per share increased from 76.42 to 76.76 cents per share after dividends of 5 cents per share over the
nine month period were paid compared to the 2 cents per share paid in the comparative nine month period.

The company has a good working capital position with a large potential for gearing should rapid capital expansion be
required to cater for the continued growth in the Group’s client base.


2.3. Dividends Paid and Declared and Dividend Declaration
The following dividends were declared during the financial period to date:
    -   A dividend of 2,00 cents per share was declared and paid to all shareholders recorded in the share register of the

        Company at the close of business on Friday, 24 April 2015.

Notice is hereby given that a dividend of 1 cent per share is declared and paid to all shareholders recorded in the share
register of the Company at the close of business on Friday, 24 July 2015.

The dividend will be subject to the Dividends Tax that was introduced with effect from 1 April 2012. In accordance with the
provisions of the Listings Requirements of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the following additional information is
disclosed:
  - the dividend has been declared out of retained earnings;
  - the local Dividends Tax rate is 15%;
  - the gross local dividend is 1 cent per share for shareholders exempt from Dividends Tax;
  - the net local dividend is 0.85 cents per share for shareholders liable for Dividends Tax;
  - the Company has 42 000 000 ordinary shares in issue;
  - the Company’s income tax reference number is: 9683978143.

The following dates are applicable to the dividend:

The last day to trade in order to be eligible for the dividend will be Friday 17 July 2015. Shares will trade ex-dividend from
Monday20 July 2015. The record date will be Friday, 24 July 2015 and payment will be made on Monday, 26 July 2015.
Share certificates may not be dematerialised/ re-materialised between Monday, 20 July 2015 and Friday, 24 July 2015,
both days inclusive.

2.4. Acquisition of property plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment acquired during the year comprises various items of furniture and fittings, motor vehicles,
office equipment, IT equipment and routers and handsets.

3. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance arising between the end of the period and the reporting date
which would have a material effect on the consolidated results or the consolidated financial position of the Group as
reported.

4. LITIGATION

Other than that disclosed below, there are currently no legal or related proceedings against the Group, of which the Board
is aware, which may have or have had in the 12 months preceding the date of this report, a material effect on the
consolidated position of the Group.

As previously disclosed, the Group is currently involved in litigation with a previous customer, Huge Group Ltd, pertaining
to outstanding receivables to the value of R4 294 443. This receivable is, however, adequately secured through a
cession of 10 million Huge Group Ltd shares held against the debt owed to the Group. The matter has been referred for
arbitration which is currently in process and set for hearing in August 2015.

5. SHARE CAPITAL

No changes were made to the share capital during the period under review.

6. FUTURE PROSPECTS

Revenue continues to grow with trading margins at high levels. Despite the continued growth in Digital Direct, the old LCR
technology remains popular with customers and through new agreements with suppliers will provide margins which will
ensure growth in earnings in the coming periods. The investment in new sales and technical support personnel over the
past two quarters is expected to result in higher gross margin in coming periods and sustainable earnings growth. The
industry remains extremely competitive with constant pricing changes amongst suppliers and competitors, but the
prospects and increased dealer channels bodes well for the coming years.
