*   In the previous financial year, segment profit in Rail, Defence and Information Security,
    Mining and Industrial was reported on a Gross Profit basis, and Telecommunications was
    reported on Net Profit (after tax and interests). This year all segment profits are all based
    on Net Profit, calculated as Gross Profits for the segments, with the remaining costs in the
    entities (less Corporate costs) being apportioned to segments based on Gross Profit margin
    percentages.

In the prior year the segment profit/(loss) were stated as follows:

                                            R'000                                R'000

Mining and Industrial                       (R 4 110)   Telecommunications     R 5 936

**     Corporate costs include group head office, corporate, marketing and administration costs. In
       the prior year this was a balancing figure and was reported as R18.191 million in the
       segment report. This year the figure was restated to reflect the same method of calculation
       used in the current year's segment report.

 ***    Management has reviewed the segment report due to the Parsec acquisition.
        The segment names have been changed from "Mining" to "Mining & Industrial" as well as
        "Defence" to "Defence & Information Security" to include new segments from the Parsec
        Holdings acquisition.

COMMENTARY

INTRODUCTION
Ansys has delivered a strong performance under challenging trading conditions experienced during
this year. Profitability has improved owing to both organic and acquisitive growth in line with the
Group's strategy of developing into an IP-led engineering and technology solutions provider.

GROUP PROFILE
The group develops, produces, distributes and integrates niche technology-driven engineering
solutions for harsh environments in four key sectors: Rail, Mining and Industrial, Defence and
Information Security as well as Telecommunications. Ansys' range of standard and bespoke
solutions is aimed at improving clients' productivity, safety and security.

The Group intends to be a centre of engineering excellence that is underpinned by research and
development in order to remain at the forefront of innovation in its areas of operation.

FINANCIAL RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS
The Group's performance continues to reflect growth across the board. This year's results have
been augmented by the inclusion of Parsec Holdings (Pty) Ltd and its subsidiaries ("Parsec
Holdings") for ten months from the effective acquisition date of 1 June 2015. Revenue is up by
88.8% from R251.1 million to R474 million. EBITDA improved to R42.7 million from R19.1 million
representing an increase of 123.9%. Profit before interest and tax increased by 123.2% to R36.0
million from R16.1 million in the comparative period. Headline earnings improved to R22.8 million
from a profit of R10.9 million (increase of 109.8%) in the comparative period, translating to
headline earnings per share of 5.55 cents (February 2015: headline earnings per share of 4.44
cents) which is an increase of 25.1%.

OUR OPERATIONS
Our strategy to strengthen our four vertical markets and reduce concentration risk as well as
enhancing our delivery capability is paying off. The Parsec Holdings acquisition was duly concluded
and the integration process has been largely completed. The resulting operating segments now
consist of Rail, which has all legacy Ansys' rail business, Defence and Information Security which
combines Ansys' and Parsec Holdings' defence and information security businesses, Mining and
Industrial comprises the mining business of Ansys and Parsec Holdings, and Telecommunications
now includes the Parsec Holdings and Ansys telecommunications businesses.

Rail
Revenue for the rail segment grew by 45.6% to R137 million from R94.1million in line with
expectations. However segment profit declined to R15.9 million from R 17.1 million mainly due to
a change in the product mix, which has lower GP margins than the previous year, and delayed roll-
outs by our major clients. In addition the division was negatively impacted by foreign exchange
translation losses experienced in the last quarter.

Defence & Information Security
The increase in revenue and profit in this segment is mainly as a result of the amalgamation of the
Parsec Holdings' and Ansys' defence and information security businesses. This has allowed us to
rationalise costs and exploit synergies and market opportunities. Included in this growth is an
increase in the year on year defence and information security business. Segment revenue grew by
802.1% to R90.1 million (February 2015:R9.9 million) and achieved a profit increase of 1 116.1%
to R19 million (February 2015:R1.6 million).

Mining & Industrial
Performance in the mining and industrial segment has improved significantly following the
acquisition of Parsec Holdings when compared to the previous year's results. The increase in
revenue and profit in this segment is primarily as a result of the acquisition. Revenue for the
period increased by 1 914.6% to R42.5 million (February 2015: R2.1 million) with a profit of R5
million (February 2015: loss of R2.3 million).

Telecommunications
Revenue for the year showed a notable improvement in line with expectations and grew by 41% to
R204.3 million (February 2015: R144.9 million), this largely due to improved network spending in
the telecommunications sector. In addition to the expectations, growth was also boosted by the
acquisition of Parsec Holdings' telecommunications business. Profit however dropped to R6.1
million (February 2015: R7.1 million) largely due to unforeseen forex losses of R 3.8 million during
the period December 2015 – March 2016.

OUTLOOK
In the short to medium term we expect weaker performance of the South African economy with
varying downward pressures on our four segments. Despite these challenging market conditions,
we anticipate continued and improved performance in the next financial year. With the successful
conclusion of the integration of Parsec Holdings into the Ansys Group, our four vertical markets
have been strengthened both in terms of delivery capability and market access. This provides the
group with more opportunities for growth.

We envisage the telecommunications sector to continue investing in network upgrades and builds
which continues to provide opportunities for growth. Given the slowdown in the economy, margins
will continue to experience pressure as operators are under pressure.      Our outlook however is
optimistic, as we have invested in making our business more efficient and capable of delivering a
much better profit margin under difficult market conditions.

The mining and industrial sector outlook remains subdued; however, we remain cautiously
optimistic about this sector where we are a supplier of safety and productivity enhancing products.

We expect the local defence and information security market to continue growing albeit at a slow
pace. Our new offering owing to the integration of Ansys' and Parsec Holdings defence capabilities
continues to offer opportunities for growth. Our opportunities in the international defence business
remain strong and our order book reflects growth in this area.

FINANCIAL RESULTS COMMENTARY

The Parsec Holdings acquisition was concluded on 1 June 2015 and the results have been included
in the reported results for the period ended 31 March 2016. As a result, the majority of the
movements in the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position and the
cash flow statement are due to the inclusion of the Parsec Holdings business.

Also contributing to the movement in the figures is the fact that the Company's year-end was
changed from 28 February to 31 March during the past financial year.

Significant movement other than noted above, comparing the period ended 31 March 2016 with
the period ended 28 February 2015, include the following:

CASH FLOW STATEMENT
The changes in working capital had a significant impact on the cash outflow from operating
activities, which decreased to R33.8 million (February 2015: inflow of R22.4 million). Included in
the working capital change of R65.8 million (February 2015: inflow of R4.6 million) is a R28.8
million increase in inventory relating to purchases to be ready for high market demand during the
first quarter of our next financial year in the Telecommunications sector. Also included in the
working capital change is a R30.3 million trade creditor relating to the purchase of the Parsec
Holdings' office building that was subsequently replaced by the bond referred to in note 4.

STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The taxation expense of R9.6 million comprises deferred tax of R1.1 million, current taxation of
R8.4 million and securities transfer tax of R 0.056m.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
Intangible assets of R117.6 million includes "intangible assets to be classified" of R87.7 million
relating to the Parsec Holdings acquisition. Refer to note 2 for additional information.

Other financial liabilities of R8.4 million relates to the outstanding balance of the cash
consideration payable for the Parsec Holdings acquisition. The total cash consideration payable of
R21.9 million, was reduced by the first tranche payment of R10 million and the second tranche
payment of R3.5 million. Refer to note 2 for additional information.

The issue price of 40 cents per share, as reported in the circular, was determined by the board on
8 October 2014 and was at a premium of 1.37% to the 30 day VWAP of Ansys for the 30 days
preceding 8 October 2014. The fair value of the shares issued was based on the published share
price as at 1 June 2015, which was 77 cents. The impact on the fair value of the shares was an
increase of R30.5 million to the purchase consideration relating to the increase in the market price
of the shares.

The initial purchase consideration was made up as follows:
-    R63 583 492, of which R6 700 000 relates to the property and was only payable once the
     property was transferred into the name of Parsec Properties (Pty) Ltd, payable to Parsec
     Holdings sellers, by the issue of 102 475 593 Ansys shares at 40 cents per share and R22 593
     255 in cash;
-    R15 750 002, which relates to the 25% shareholding in Parsec, not owned by Parsec Holdings,
     payable to the Parsec seller, by the issue of 39 375 004 Ansys shares at 40 cents per share;
     and
-    R2 399 626, which relates to the 20% shareholding in Redline, not owned by Parsec Holdings,
     payable to the Redline seller by the issue of 3 867 404 Ansys shares at 40 cents per share
     and R852 664 in cash.

Prior to the effective date, Parsec Holdings distributed R10 000 000 and R9 779 203 to the Parsec
Holdings' sellers.

The cash consideration payable (undiscounted) to the sellers will be settled in three tranches as
follows:
-    the first tranche of R10 000 000 was paid in cash on the closing date, R9 636 327 was paid to
     the Parsec Holdings' sellers and R363 673 was paid to the Redline sellers. This payment was
     subject to Parsec Holdings achieving a minimum NTAV of R25 million on the effective date,
     which was achieved.
-    the second tranche of R3 500 000 was paid in cash on 1 December 2015, to the sellers.
     R3 372 715 was paid to the Parsec Holding sellers and R127 285 was paid to the Redline
     sellers.
-    the third tranche of R9 945 919 is payable in cash to the sellers as follows:
    -      the first instalment of R2 300 000 is payable on 1 June 2016, R2 216 255 to the Parsec
           Holdings' sellers and R83 645 to the Redline sellers.
    -      the subsequent instalments of R2 500 000 each are payable in quarterly instalments
           commencing 1 June 2017 and accruing interest at the prime interest rate. R7 367 858 is
           payable to Parsec Holdings and R278 061 to the Redline sellers.
    -      these are payable subject to Parsec having sufficient free cash flow. In the event that
           Parsec does not have sufficient free cash flow, the quarterly instalments of R2 500 000
           each shall be increased by the amount of the shortfall in free cash flow.
    -      in the event that any tranche and/or tranche shortfall is not paid after 36 months from
           1 June 2015, due to a shortfall in free cash flows, all the said amounts shall be forfeited.

The purchase price was funded by a capital raising in terms of a general issue for cash of
47 778 889 shares at 36 cents to various investors and the cash instalments will be funded out of
current cash flows. Refer to the shares issued in the Statement of Changes in Equity.

The total number of Ansys shares issued to the sellers in July 2015 was 145 718 001. This has
been disclosed as business combination in the Statement of Changes in Equity.

Management is in the process of completing the purchase price allocation and the "intangible
assets to be classified" will only be finalised after year-end.

The interest bearing borrowing is within Parsec Properties (Pty) Ltd for the new Parsec office. The
loan is secured over the property and is repayable over 10 years, for which the first 3 years the
interest is fixed at 10.43% and thereafter it will be at prime less 0.5%. A R5 million residual value
will remain on the loan at the end of the 10-year period. Included in the R30 million loan is
mezzanine finance of R5 million, with the interest rate at prime plus 2% and is repayable at end of
the 3-year period.

On the acquisition date of Parsec Holdings, this loan amount was still reflected as part of trade
creditors and the bond was subsequently registered which added to the working capital change
effect in the cash flow statement.

At the end of the period, Parsec Holdings contributed a total of R12.8 million to the inventories.
The remaining inventories show an increase in holding since the previous year due to the Group
ramping up towards future deliveries, as well as forecasted inventory requirements for high
market demand, during the first quarter of the next financial year in the Rail and
Telecommunications sectors.

At the end of the period, Parsec Holdings contributed R34.8 million of the total trade and other
receivables. The remaining increase in the year-end balance is mostly due to increases in the VAT
receivable from the Receiver of Revenue as well as an increase in the project receivables at period
end.

At the end of the period, Parsec Holdings contributed R47.2 million of the total trade and other
payables. The remaining increase in the year-end balance is mostly due to significant increases in
trade creditors due to increased purchases in the second half of the financial year as well as the
abnormal devaluation in the Rand against the Euro of 14% from December 2015 to February
2016.
