(1) Based on Aucom achieving the cumulative three year earn-out target of R38 million the contingent consideration
asset raised in 2015 was reversed at the end of June 2016. Refer to supplementary note 2 for more detail.
(2) Non-recurring legal, consulting and transaction fees amounted to R5.1 million for the year ended 30 June 2016 relating
to the previous potential acquisitions that did not materialise, finalisation of Compart sale and Aucom acquisition
transaction and costs relating to the COJOT acquisition.
(3) Normalised earnings, as determined by the Alaris Group, is calculated by adjusting profit for the reversal of the
contingent consideration asset, goodwill impairment, loss on discontinued operations and profit (net after tax) on the
disposal of Compart and legal and consulting fees for acquisitions and disposals.
(4) COJOT numbers are consolidated for two months. Large orders were delivered during these two months resulting in
high profit margins, which should not be seen as representative of the profitability over a longer period.
(5) Net foreign exchange gains on foreign currency cash balances were accumulated for the COJOT acquisition and
have been recorded as part of this segment. Costs relating to shared services and fees associated with being a listed
company are also included in this segment. Net funding costs, including the interest paid on the PSG preference
shares of R4.8 million are also included in the segment.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Considering the slow start to the first half of the financial year, the underlying businesses performed well for the second
half resulting in robust profit growth.
The overall results were boosted by a net foreign exchange gain of R12.5 million (2015: R0.4 million). Foreign currency was
accumulated to pay for the COJOT acquisition. The Group benefitted from a weakening Rand resulting in a net profit
recognised in the year-end financial results. Foreign currency gains and losses are treated as part of normalised earnings
given the nature of the Group and have been consistently treated with the prior year.
The Group’s cash position increased by R20.1 million to R94.5 million despite the COJOT investment being paid for in cash.
Management focused on improving the investment in net working capital during the year which resulted in cash flow
from operating activities improving to R54.2 million (2015: outflow of R0.9 million).
Alaris Antennas
Revenue increased by 33% from R88.4 million to R117.3 million and profit after tax (“PAT”) increased by 62% from R20.9
million to R33.9 million.
The sales cycle consists of the generation of an order book followed by the execution and delivery thereof to the end
customer. The recognition of sales takes place when the order is executed and invoiced to the client. The recognition of
revenue in any given financial year is therefore dependent on the timing of orders executed on, which is characterised
by the size and complexity of the order. The business commenced the financial year with a lower order book value
impacting the half year results. The improvement in the order book as well as the execution and delivery thereof is evident
in the improvement in the second half results.
Alaris Antennas continued to be a leader in product innovation, adding 98 (2015: 155) new products to its portfolio in the
financial year to support future top line growth. The sales capability and product portfolio was also expanded to include
cross selling opportunities with the COJOT team.
The gross margin improved as a result of two primary factors namely: 1) pricing leverage in the supply chain as a result of
increased volumes and 2) export sales owing to a weakening Rand.
Further investment in productive headcount from 87 to 101 was necessary to execute on the order book during the year.
Headcount growth in engineering resources, a customer retention manager as well as starting a new Specialised
Production and Electronics Facility bode well for the future. These expansions support our strategy to deliver high quality
products to our customers within the committed timelines.
COJOT
All conditions precedent to the Acquisition as per the agreement were fulfilled and the results of COJOT were included in
the Group results from 1 May 2016. Revenue of R14.8 million and PAT of R5.2 million was consolidated for the two months
to year end. These two months contributed a significantly higher profit margin than anticipated owing to a few larger
orders being delivered in these months. These profit margins are not indicative of the historical average margins therefore
should not be reflective of the longer term margins of the business.
The COJOT product portfolio integration on a Group level contributed 124 products to the portfolio to be included in cross
selling opportunities going forward.
Aucom
Despite a slow first half, Aucom managed to deliver healthy growth on last year’s results with revenue increasing by 11%
from R104.6 million to R116.4 million and PAT increasing by 155% from R7.3 million to R18.6 million. The net profit margin
increased from 7% to 16% mainly due to higher commissions received and an increase from R3.9 million to R9.8 million per
annum for recurring monthly service level charges which have a lower cost base.
A significant contract in the Seychelles was secured in the first half of the year and a large portion of the deal was
completed by the end of June 2016.
Corporate and consolidation
In addition to the shared services costs and fees associated with being a listed company, this segment carried several
additional items:
- Legal and consulting fees of R2.6 million were incurred in relation to the potential acquisitions that did not
materialize, finalization of prior transactions like Aucom and Compart and settlements reached in respect of these
cases.
- Legal, consulting fees and transfer taxes of R2.5 million incurred as part of the finalisation of the COJOT acquisition.
- The contingent consideration asset value of R22.2 million raised in the prior year was reversed through the profit
and loss based on the Aucom earnings of R18.6 million for the current year. The cumulative three year
performance of R38.5 million versus the target of R38 million resulted in no shares being recallable. Refer to
supplementary note 2 for further details.
- In line with the international acquisition strategy of the Group, foreign currency was accumulated to settle the
purchase price of future acquisitions. As a result of the deterioration of the Rand versus the Dollar and Euro, net
foreign exchange gains of R9.1 million were recognised in this segment.
Discontinued Operations
The Compart businesses were consolidated up to 31 December 2014 and are therefore included in the comparative
numbers. These operations recorded a loss of R3.9 million for the year ended June 2015. Refer to the 30 June 2015 year
end results for details of the disposal previously disclosed.
PROSPECTS
The Group remains focused on achieving growth (organic and acquisitive) and improving profitability in the medium
term.
Alaris Antennas
The business has grown turnover and profits consistently since its establishment in 2005. Organic growth is stimulated and
achieved through understanding customers’ needs and adding new innovative products to the portfolio. Further
opportunities for growth are achieved by adding new system houses as clients, distributors and agents. We are also
diversifying territories and entering into new market segments where the Company’s core competencies find application.
Management believes the business has significant potential for organic growth and acquisitive growth where there is a
complimentary opportunity in markets and products.
Our products are designed locally by our team of engineers and manufactured at our premises in Centurion. This makes
us competitive in the global market, resulting in approximately 80% of our revenue from exports.
COJOT
COJOT is a customer intimate organisation where new product development is centered around the customer’s needs.
Sales are generated by the company’s sales team with the help of its channel partners. By taking cognisance of our
customers’ needs and adjusting our product features and operations accordingly we stay competitive. The organisation’s
efficiency is complemented by the partnership with contract manufacturers and a professional service provider network
to enable sustainable growth.
Aucom
The business continues to bid for significant Digital Terrestrial Television and Transmission infrastructure opportunities across
the African continent and is well positioned to obtain these opportunities. There is an upswing in market activity from the
urgency to comply with deadlines set by the International Telecommunication Union.
Further increased returns are expected on the capital investment made this year on the service lab facility. The income
stream from this facility has steadily increased in these past few months.
The Group
A significant portion of the Group’s performance is associated with long sales cycles and three to six month delivery
timeframes. In order to mitigate this, the Group continues to expand its regional and product diversity to improve our
proximity to our clients and meet their needs.
The current focus is to ensure the profitable organic growth of the Alaris Antennas, COJOT and Aucom businesses and
further improve working capital management of the Group.
Post-merger integration processes to capitalise on synergies between Alaris and COJOT, as well as cross selling
opportunities, will remain a focus area in the next twelve months. The two businesses are complimentary and the
combined operations will allow existing customers to receive an improved service as well as an expanded product
portfolio through cross-selling. With both companies historically strongly focused on research and development and both
holding exploitable patented technologies, it is expected that the fostering of design innovation and continued pursuit
of novel technologies will be enhanced through the sharing of ideas and talent in both organisations. As such, the design
and development of new products resulting from the combined skill sets of the two companies will provide more
competitive features enabling increased performance for end users.
International expansion is an important part of the Group’s global strategy and management will remain on the lookout
for further opportunities to increase the global footprint.

2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE
The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer
of a Iiability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The existence of published price quotations in an active market is the best evidence of fair value and, where they exist,
they are used to measure the financial asset or financial liability. A market is considered to be active if transactions occur
with sufficient volume and frequency to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Financial instruments fair valued
using quoted prices would generally be classified as level 1 in terms of the fair-value hierarchy.
The carrying values of other financial assets and liabilities, trade and other receivables and payables and loans and
borrowings approximate their fair value. The Group measures currency futures at fair value using inputs as described in
level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Contingent consideration
Of the 66 million shares issued, 49.5 million shares were held as guarantee, to be released to the sellers as profit warranties
are met for the years ended 30 June 2014, 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016, or recalled if warranties are not met in
aggregate.
In the 2015 financial year a contingent consideration asset of R22.2 million was recognised, equal to the estimated claw-
back of the original purchase price paid to the Aucom vendors should profit warranties not be achieved. The contingent
consideration asset was classified as a level 1 instrument.
Aucom achieved cumulative earnings of R38.5 million over the three year period putting them slightly ahead of the earn
out target of R38 million as stated in the sale of share agreement signed in 2014. Therefore, no shares are recallable as at
30 June 2016 and the contingent consideration asset of R22.2 million was adjusted through profit and loss.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATION
As announced on SENS the Group concluded an agreement to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of COJOT OY
and any and all shareholder loan claims that the Sellers have against the company (“the Acquisition”). All conditions
precedent to the Acquisition as per the agreement were fulfilled and the results of COJOT were included in the Group
results from 1 May 2016.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements from which the summarised
consolidated financial statements were derived are in terms of International Financial Reporting Standards and are
consistent with those accounting policies applied in the preparation of the previous consolidated annual financial
statements. The following standards and interpretations were in issue but not yet effective:
- IAS 16 and IAS 38 – Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation
- IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers
- IFRS 16 - Leases
- IFRS 9 – Financial instruments
- Improvement project to IFRSs 2012-2014 cycle:
o IFRS 5 – Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations: changes in method of disposal
o IFRS 7 – Financial instrument disclosure
o IAS 19 – Employee benefits
o IAS 34 – Interim financial reporting
- IFRS10, IFRS12 and IAS 28 – Investment entities: applying the consolidation exception
- IAS 1 – Disclosure initiative
Management is in the process of reviewing the impact of the above standards and interpretations in issue not yet
effective.
The summarised consolidated results have been presented on the historical cost basis except for the contingent
consideration asset and currency futures, which are fair valued. These results are presented in Rand, rounded to the
nearest thousand, which is the functional currency of Alaris and the Group presentation currency. These summarised
consolidated results incorporate the financial statements of the company, its subsidiaries and entities that, in substance,
are controlled by the Group. Results of subsidiaries are included from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective
date of disposal. All significant transactions and balances between Group entities are eliminated on consolidation.
The summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 have been audited by KPMG Inc.,
who expressed an unmodified opinion thereon. The auditor also expressed an unmodified opinion on the annual financial
statements from which these summarised consolidated financial statements were derived.
A copy of the auditor’s report on the summarised consolidated financial statements and of the auditor’s report on the
annual consolidated financial statements are available for inspection at the company’s registered office, together with
the financial statements identified in the respective auditor’s reports.
The auditor’s report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in the announcement. Shareholders
are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditors’ engagement, they should
obtain a copy of the auditor’s report together with the accompanying financial information from the issuer’s registered
office.
The summarised consolidated financial statements were prepared under the supervision of the Group Financial Director,
Gisela Heyman CA(SA).
