COMMENTARY ON THE GROUP RESULTS
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
During the period under review, TCS continued to deal with the challenges at hand in order to adjust to
changing market conditions and seize opportunities. Management’s focus during this period has been to
continue to consolidate the existing contracts, improve the service offering and pursue new viable business.
The Company moved away from non-performing or unsustainable contracts and focused on sustainable
segments of the business.
Although there are notable losses in the period under review, it needs to be understood that these losses
were compounded by changes in the market conditions, the challenges brought by an ongoing internal
restructuring process and the re-alignment of the basic business model. These adjustments were necessary
to address the effects of 2014 and 2015 and the subsequent re-positioning of the Company within the
market-place.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Revenue for the year under review compared to the previous year decreased by 6% to R18 million. The
continued efforts by management to stabilise income and improve efficiency and the service offering, started
to deliver results with certain cost reductions noted.
After depreciation and finance costs, a loss before tax of R14 million was recorded compared to the loss of
R13.2 million recorded in the prior year (excluding extraordinary income of R7.4 million in 2015). Cost of
sales improved by 7% on the prior year and this reduction is in line with the reduction in sales.
The headline loss per share reduced to 2.88 cents compared to a headline loss per share of 2.93 cents for
the prior year ending 28 February 2015.
The movement in non-current assets relates mainly to depreciation recorded during the year. Trade and
other payables of R11.5 million includes regular trade payables of R3.1 million, revenue received in advance
of R1.2 million and SARS liabilities of R6.7 million. These SARS liabilities are accumulated debts recorded
during the Business Rescue period (up to August 2014) and the accumulated taxes until year end. At the end
of the year the Group’s closing cash balance was R0.1 million.
PROSPECTS
TCS has aligned its business strategy, products and services in accordance with the requirements of the
current market, specifically those of the Administration Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Project, and
our equipment and systems are fully compliant.
The Company continues with a more focussed approach based on its superior software, technology and
equipment. The Company will form alliances, co-operate or support clients and other role players within the
market, either as primary or secondary service provider.
In this regard, the Company offers a quality basket of products and services, these being: own re-engineered
Artimis fixed radar camera, own new “TCS CAPTURE” mobile camera, handheld devices, new Windows based
Traffic Management System, the Pound Management System and the On Board Automatic Number Plate
recognition systems.
These products, supported by superior customer service and market knowledge, will be at the centre of the
business model going forward.

Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Listings Requirements
of the JSE Limited (“JSE Listings Requirements”) for provisional reports and the requirements of the
Companies Act of South Africa, 2008 (Act 71 of 2008), as amended. The JSE Listings Requirements require
reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition
requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides
as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial
Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated
financial statements are in terms of IFRS and consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the
year ended 28 February 2013 and the condensed results for the 2014 and 2015 financial years, except for
the adoption of new, improved and revised standards and interpretations which became effective, which had
no material effect on the financial results.
The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the financial information and the financial
information has been correctly extracted from the underlying financial information.
The reviewed condensed financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of the Financial
Director, Mr C Els.
Business rescue process and subsequent events
As per the announcement released on SENS on 22 November 2013, the board of directors of TCS (“the
Board”) deemed TCS to be financially distressed as contemplated in Chapter 6 of the Companies Act, 71 of
2008, as amended (“the Companies Act”) and accordingly, on 21 November 2013 resolved that business
rescue proceedings commence, and that TCS be placed under supervision in terms of section 129 of the
Companies Act.
In this regard, Mr Piers Marsden of Matuson & Associates was appointed as the Company’s business rescue
practitioner (“Business Rescue Practitioner”) on 9 December 2013.
An announcement was released on SENS on 2 May 2014, informing shareholders of the publication of a
proposed business rescue plan (“Business Rescue Plan”) and included a notice of meeting of creditors, other
holders of a voting interest and shareholders to be held on 19 May 2014 to consider the Business Rescue
Plan.
As per the announcement released on SENS on 19 May 2014, the Business Rescue Plan was approved by the
requisite majority of creditors, other holders of a voting interest and shareholders. Subsequent to the
announcement released on SENS on 19 June 2014, wherein shareholders were advised that the Company
submitted its Schedule 13 application to the JSE to enable the Company to raise capital through the issue of
new shares, the application was approved by JSE Limited.
The Business Rescue Practitioner confirmed on 14 August 2014 that the Business Rescue Plan had been
substantially implemented and that the control of the Company effectively reverted back to the Board.
The Business Rescue Plan included the below restructuring of the Statement of Financial Position. The pro-
forma financial effects of the specific issue of shares as part of the business rescue and subsequent
restructuring was released in an announcement on 9 June 2016.
-Equity Injection - Slade Investments CC (“Slade”)
The Company required a cash injection. The amount injected into the Company would be used as
working capital. The Company’s financial model indicated a cash requirement of R2 million. Slade
injected R2 million into the Company as follows:
1. R1 million by subscribing to 100 million shares at a fixed price of 1 cent per share. This
constituted 20.4% of the issued share capital post the issues of the new shares.
2. R1 million loan, which will be interest free for the first twelve months. Slade has the option
to convert the loan to ordinary shares at a fixed price of 1 cent per share after twelve
months, subject to all the JSE Listing Requirements and Companies Act regulations being
met at that date. Should the option to convert not be exercised the loan will become
repayable over 12 months at the prime interest rate.
-Debt Restructuring and Forgiveness - Mvelapanda Holdings Proprietary Limited (“Mvela”)
A total amount of R35.77 million was due and payable to Mvela relating to the preference shares
and accrued interest thereon. The repayment/distribution of the preference shares were subject to
section 46 of the Companies Act including the solvency and liquidity test. An amount of R5 million
was written off.
The remaining preference share capital and accrued interest were converted to loans as indicated
below which are not subject to section 46 of the Companies Act requirements.
- Terms and Repayment of Remaining Debt
The remaining debt of R30.77 million owing to Mvela was structured as follows:
R5 million to be a senior loan repayable monthly over 3 years at 10% interest per annum
with repayment of capital and interest commencing on 1 March 2015.
R25.77 million loan subordinated in favour of all creditors.
- Interest free for the first 12 months commencing on adoption of the Business
Rescue plan.
- After 12 months have the option to convert into ordinary shares at the fixed price
of 1 cent per share, subject to all the JSE Listing Requirements and Companies Act
regulations being met at that date.
- Should the option to convert not be exercised the loan will become repayable over
3 years commencing only once the senior loan has been repaid. Interest will accrue
at the prime interest rate.
- South African Revenue Services (SARS)
The tax debts of R7.9 million owing to SARS was addressed as follows:
The amount, including interest but excluding penalties, plus all tax debts up to the date of release
in August 2014, will be payable in equal instalments over 30 months starting on 1 January 2015.
After release from Business Rescue in August 2014, the Company engaged with SARS to reach
agreement on the final settlement amount and to seek relief on the payment terms. This process
was ongoing and not concluded at the end of the period under review.
At the date of this report the Company has received and accepted a final settlement offer from SARS,
which requires payment of R500 000 by the end of June 2017 to settle all SARS outstanding amounts
up to and including March 2017.
Going Concern
During the term certain minor contracts came to an end which contributed to the Group making a loss after
tax of R14 million for the year. This includes finance costs of R5.6 million as explained in note 1 of this report.
As at the year ended 29 February 2016, the Group had a negative equity position of R45 million.
Even though borrowings to the value of R34 million has been subordinated in favour of other creditors, the
Group’s Statement of Financial Position still reflects a technical insolvent position with liabilities exceeding
assets. Repayment terms of these loans have also been amended in favour of the company.
During the 2016 financial period, revenue reduced as a result of a number of smaller contracts, contributing
annual revenue of approximately R2.0 million, coming to an end and not being renewed.
These losses, together with the operating restrictions experienced in the 24 months following the Business
Rescue process, continued to have a severe effect on the trading during the year.
During the period, the primary shareholders provided capital to fund the operational losses and cash shortfalls
when required. This was done in support of the business and its restructuring initiatives during the transition
period. There are no indication that the Company will not continue to receive similar support if required for
the foreseeable future.
The Company remains confident that a sustainable business model will be achieved and that external support
will not be required in the future. Since the discharge from Business Rescue as announced on SENS on 29
August 2014, the Company has managed to restructure the business to a sustainable level. TCS managed to
secure new profitable contracts, which includes full service contracts for Polokwane (September 2014),
Tlokwe (May 2015) and Buffalo City (December 2015). It also includes a relationship with the Namibian
Police, whereby TCS will be providing services and equipment to support the traffic law enforcement
expansion in Namibia over the next few years.
Focus will also be on equipment technology advances and service delivery to improve income from existing
contracts and confidently pursue new markets and contracts.
In addition to the revenue initiatives, the cost saving processes started during the Business Rescue period
continued during 2016, and will continue as part of an ongoing profitability improvement process.
The Board believes that as a result of the above, positive operating cash flows will be realised in the
foreseeable future. The Board determined the future cash flows of the Group when it assessed the going
concern status. Although due care has been exercised in the preparation of these forecasts, any forecast is
based on certain assumptions which may or may not materialise in the future. Any forecast financial
information contained in the year end results has not been reviewed and reported on by the Group’s auditors
in accordance with paragraph 8.40(a) of the Listings Requirements. However, the Board is of the opinion
that the mentioned positive developments combined with management processes and initiatives
implemented, makes the forecasts realistic and achievable.
The Group has come through an extremely difficult trading period and cash flow remains under constant
pressure. The key components of the Group continuing as a going concern is the ability to provide
sophisticated management systems and equipment to the market, maintain a low cost base, selectively
approach new tenders, considering strategic partnerships and co-operation agreements and ensuring existing
contracts are profitable.
The forecasts and Going Concern assumptions are based on the following:
- no deterioration in the current market conditions;
- municipalities continue to outsource the administration of traffic violations;
- the Company is able to reduce and maintain its operational expenses in line with sales levels;
- no deterioration in the payment and collection cycle;
- the Company continues to have the ongoing support of all its stakeholders, especially key staff and
financiers;
- no repayment of loans is required during the foreseeable future; and
- the Company’s JSE listing to be re-instated.
Significant negative change in these areas of assumptions will require swift action and adjustment by the
Company in order to continue as a going concern.
These conditions underline the ever-present uncertain and variable circumstances in the market. Failure by
the Company to effectively operate under these conditions, will give rise to a material uncertainty which may
cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore that it may
be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis which presumes that the Group will
generate sufficient cash flows to enable it to service its debts in the normal course of business as and when
they become payable.
Modified review report
The condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for the year ended 29 February 2016 have been
reviewed by the Company's auditor, BDO South Africa Incorporated, who has expressed a modified review
conclusion on the results. A copy of their review report is available for inspection at the Company’s registered
office. The auditor’s report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in these financial
results. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the
auditor’s engagement they should obtain a copy of the auditor’s review report together with the
accompanying financial information from the issuer’s registered office.
The Disclaimer of Conclusion and Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements paragraphs as
contained in the review report are set out below:
Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion
As indicated in the going concern section, the Group incurred a net loss for the year ended 28 February 2016
of R14 million (2015: loss of R5.4 million) and, as at that date its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by
R45.4 (2015: R31.4 million). The going concern of the Group is significantly dependent on a number of
factors. The going concern note also indicates that these conditions, along with other matters, indicates the
existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a
going concern and therefore it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal
course of business. In these circumstances and as a result of the significance thereof, we have not been able
to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to confirm or dispel whether it is appropriate to prepare the financial
statements on the going concern basis.
Disclaimer of Conclusion
Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion paragraph, we
have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis for a conclusion. Accordingly
we do not express a conclusion on the financial statements.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with our responsibilities in terms of sections 44(2) and 44(3) of the Auditing Profession Act,
we report that we have identified certain unlawful acts or omissions committed by persons responsible for
the management of the Company which constitute reportable irregularities in terms of the Auditing Profession
Act, and have reported such matters to the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors. The matters
pertaining to the reportable irregularities are as follows:
-The entity has submitted Income Tax returns (IT14), Value Added Tax returns (VAT 201) and Employees
Tax returns (EMP 201) to the South African Revenue Services but no payment has been made to settle
the outstanding liability.
-Contravention of Section 30 of the Companies Act, 2008 by failing to prepare annual financial
statements within six months after its financial year end.
-Contravention of Listing Requirement 3.19 of the JSE Limited Listing Requirements which requires
issuers to distribute a notice of the annual general meeting and annual financial statements to all
holders of securities and to submit to the JSE Limited within six months after its financial year end.
-Contravention of Section 66(2)(b) of the Companies Act, 2008 by failing to have the minimum
number of directors as prescribed.
-Contravention Section 94 (6) of the Companies Act by failing to appoint a person to fill any vacancy
on the audit committee within 40 business days after the vacancy arises.
-Potential contravention of Section 22 and Section 29 of the Companies Act, 2008 as the company was
unable to settle liabilities as it became due and is technically insolvent.
