REVIEWED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PROVISIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH
2017


NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
Trustco is a diversified listed financial services group that invests and operates in sustainable high-growth assets in
emerging markets.



BUSINESS REVIEW



Trustco’s operations continue to demonstrate resilience in performance coupled with stable results in the face
of adverse financial conditions in the region.

Namibian inflation was recorded at a 7% year-on-year increase at 31 March 2017. Namibia has experienced four
consecutive quarters of negative growth in its GDP. The contraction in GDP was recorded at 2.7% in the first quarter
of this calendar year.




The group delivered overall business operating profit before tax of NAD 581 million, an increase of NAD 132
million or 29%. Revenue increased by 8% to NAD 1 247 million. Real estate in the investments segment
achieved a strong result whilst maintaining its focus on priority markets and extracting value from its core
business. Investment income continued its positive momentum mainly from investment property capital gains
and currency exchange gains.




Total expenses increased by 3%, which supported the growth of revenue. Interest cover ratio decreased from 4.35
times in FY2016 to 4.23 times in FY2017, however the number remains healthy.

Earnings per share increased to 69 cents from 55 cents, a 25% growth, whilst headline earnings per share grew by
28% from 55 cents to 71 cents.
SEGMENTAL PERFORMANCE



Insurance
The insurance segment’s net profit after tax decreased to NAD 40 million (FY2016 NAD 45 million) due to slow down
attributed to the local economic climate.

Banking and Finance
During the year under review the banking segment secured new funding of NAD 410 million from various foreign
funders. The funding was utilised in the consolidation of the advances book. Total advances increased by 54% to
NAD 1 818 million (FY2016: NAD 1 184 million).



Investments
The investments segment’s net profit after tax grew by NAD 123 million representing a 39% increase to NAD 440
million (FY2016: NAD 317 million). Solid performance is attributed to the monetization of the real estate inventory
held by the group and a strong demand within the local economy. The group disposed of 54.4 hectares during the
year and at the same time property debtors worth NAD 71.9 million were realised. The property debtors’ cycle is
approximately 24 months.



Resources
The reporting year saw the establishment of a new segment; namely “Resources”, through the acquisition of Meya
mining. The acquisition of the mine represents a natural progression of the group strategy. The acquisition offers a
best-fit strategic opportunity to diversify the revenue stream of the group and at the same time earn foreign
currency.

With positive drilling results, it is expected that this project will generate significant returns for shareholders in the
future.

A large part of value creation will be realised via the diamond cutting and polishing factory that forms part of the
Huso transaction. As a result, the payment terms of the aforementioned transaction was renegotiated to ensure
optimal wealth creation for all shareholders

10. Business Combinations

Business combinations occurring during the current year (Meya mining)

On 11 November 2016 the group acquired 51% of the voting equity interest of Meya Mining, which resulted in the
group obtaining control over Meya Mining Ltd. Meya Mining is incorporated in Mauritius and is the holder of
Exploration License No EL 07/2015 granted under the Provisions of the Mines and Minerals Act 2009, of the republic of
Sierra Leone. This acquisition represents a natural progression of the group’s expansion strategy. The acquisition
offers a best-fit strategic opportunity to diversify the revenue stream of the group. The numbers used for business
combinations are provisional.

Goodwill of NAD 206 million arising from the acquisition is attributable largely to the intangible asset. Goodwill is not
deductible for income tax purposes.

Contingent consideration arrangements

Upon completion of an eighteen 18 months exploration programme from the date of purchase if the results are either
of the following conditions:

- resource statement of at least 3,000,000 carats, or

- resource statement valued at least USD 1,000,000,000 (at international market price)



The Group will pay an additional USD 25,000,000 to the sellers provided that a mining license has been issued. The
directors estimate that the group has a 60% chance of paying the contingent amount. The fair value of contingent
consideration is included in trade and other payables. The estimate accounted for as provisional and might change
after the resource evaluation program is completed by October 2017.

Meya Mining Ltd commenced a resource evaluation program in November 2016, with the aim of verifying the intrinsic
geo economic potential within the exploration license area, EL07/2015. The evaluation programme is scheduled into
several phases and multiple zones across the license area. Dyke Zone B was prioritised for the 2017/2018 periods.
The phases include; diamond drilling, bulk sampling, geological modelling, micro diamond analysis and diamond
valuation. A total of 9,559m was drilled along the 11,500m strike, which confirms continuation of Dyke Zone B. The
intersections range from 120m to 370m vertical depths, thus proving the depth of kimberlite extensions.

Based on the drilling results and assumptions derived from historical information from previous experience of the
management team, regarding diamond grade, rock density and diamond values from this specific ore body, a
preliminary high level estimation by management indicates that the potential in situ diamond resource of Dyke Zone B
alone (down to 500m) is 6.5 million carats contained in 11 million tonnes of kimberlite, thus an in situ value of more

13. Subsequent events

The parties of the Huso transaction entered into an agreement in terms whereof the payment terms of the Huso
transaction be amended. The payment terms were amended to reflect an EBITDAASA (earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation, amortisation after stock adjustments) payment instead of a resource driven payment. The shareholders
approved the amendment to the Huso transaction on the 13th of June 2017. The amendment will be effective upon
conclusion of the Huso transaction when the mining license is issued to NNDC and the Huso transaction becomes
effective.

Other than the event noted above, no other material events requires disclosure.

CHANGES TO THE BOARD

During the year under review, Mr Ryan McDougall the financial director of Trustco Group Holdings Limited resigned on
the 31st of December 2016. Mrs Marizanne van Niekerk, was appointed in his stead from the 1st of January 2017 and
subsequently resigned on the 5th of April 2017. Mr Floors Abrahams, executive director of Trustco Group Holdings
Limited resumed the responsibility of Financial Director from the 5th of April 2017 to date.



DIVIDEND DECLARATION
During the year under review, the board recommended that no dividend be declared for the financial period ended 31
March 2017. The main reasons for the decision is that the board believes that Trustco shareholders would be better
served over the long term by capitalising the banking and finance segment and to further invest in the resource
segment. The company will also implement an aggressive share buyback programme for the next reporting period.


The full integrated report including the notice of AGM will be uploaded to the company’s website and posted to the
shareholders of the company who were recorded as such in the company’s securities register in due course
