Fair value measurement of financial instruments
Fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities are analysed as follows:
- Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie as prices) or indirectly (ie derived from prices); and
- Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or
liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Operating results
The Group’s revenue from continuing operations decreased by 0.8% to R5.24 billion (2016: R5.29 billion). The major
reason for the slowdown in growth was the reduction in the spending from the government sector.
The gross profit percentage from continuing operations was marginally down from 12.9% to 12.6%, predominantly as a
result of product mix, the drive to reduce inventory levels and an increase in inventory provisions. Although the gross
profit percentages achieved by products such as Huawei Enterprise Solutions and Microsoft Volume Licensing are lower, their
contributions to profit are expected to continue growing.
The Group’s hedging policy proved effective, as forex losses from continuing operations, which includes the cost of
forward points, was R0.5 million compared to R11.8 million in the comparative period.
Distribution, administrative and other operating expenses from continuing operations were well controlled, increasing
by 1.5%. This is despite a once-off R3.7 million spent on retrenchment costs.
Net finance charges from continuing operations continues to decrease. After incurring net finance charges of R45.3 million
during the first six months of the current financial year, the Group incurred net finance charges of R42.0 million
during the second half of the financial year. As a result, net finance charges decreased from R90.7 million to R87.3 million.
Working capital management continues to be a driver of profitability and is currently receiving management’s full
attention. The Group applies hedge accounting where the requirements of IAS 39 have been met to separate the interest
and spot elements from the forward contracts, and R18.5 million (2016: R14.3 million) was classified as finance costs, as
opposed to forex losses.
The contribution from our associates decreased mainly due to the start-up losses incurred at Yangtze Optics Africa
Holdings Proprietary Limited (YOA). The Group’s share of losses equity accounted amounted to R4.7 million. All the required
manufacturing equipment was completely installed and commissioned during November 2016 and core employees are now fully
trained. YOA started production during January 2017 and managed to grow its monthly revenue each month without
exception from February 2017 to July 2017 and produced their first monthly operating profit during July 2017.
Mustek’s headline earnings per share is 5.7% higher at 81.26 cents (2016: 76.88 cents) and basic earnings per share is
8.4% higher at 80.32 cents (2016: 74.13 cents).
Cash flow
The improvement in working capital levels contributed to cash generated from operations of R228.8 million (2016:
R175.0 million). Inventory on hand reduced by 3.0% and trade and other receivables reduced by 0.7% compared to the
previous financial year. Management continues to focus on optimal working capital management as it remains a driver of
profitability in our industry.
Transformation
Following an audit by an accredited verification agency, Mustek retained its level 2 BBBEE rating, using the amended
ICT sector codes.
Management has continued to meaningfully extend its initiatives in employment equity, skills development and corporate
social investment during the year. The Group is committed to a process of further transformation and economic
empowerment of its stakeholders, such that an acceptable balance between the operations and commercial benefits of such a
process can be achieved, thereby ensuring the sustainability and prosperity of the Group in a competitive market sector.
Board of directors
No changes were made to the board during the period under review.
Corporate activities
On 1 March 2017, Rectron Holdings Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mustek, acquired a 50.1% stake in Palladium
Business Solutions Proprietary Limited, an independent software vendor for a total consideration of R16.2 million.
R7.9 million of the total consideration is conditional upon the achievement of profit guarantees over the next two
financial years.
On 12 June 2017, the Group acquired a notarial lease on land in Cape Town that shall expire after a period of 99 years
calculated from 18 March 2015 for a purchase consideration of R9.6 million. The board approved a further R35.0 million
for the development of the site.
Retirement benefit plan
The Mustek Group Retirement Fund is a defined contribution fund and payments to the plan are expensed as they fall
due. The majority of the Group’s employees belong to this fund. The Group does not provide additional post-retirement
benefits.
Environmental, social and governance aspects
The Group subscribes to and complies in all material aspects with the Code on Corporate Governance Practices and
Conduct as contained in the King III Report on Corporate Governance.
Mustek is committed to transparent and integrated reporting in the spirit of King III and the Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI). We are accordingly continuously reviewing our corporate governance practices and are enhancing our
internal information gathering systems to provide the quality and type of information required for authentically
integrated reporting.
Mustek has successfully maintained its ISO 14001 certification since 2004 and has not been sanctioned or fined for
non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
Mustek has a consistent record in community support and corporate social investment (CSI). The Group focuses its CSI
efforts on children’s needs - in particular, their education - but also supports charities, sporting events and community
facilities.
For more than a decade, we have conducted a comprehensive HIV/Aids strategy and programme that also provides
antiretroviral drugs to HIV-positive staff.
Company and industry outlook
According to the International Data Corporation, ICT spending in South Africa will top USD26.6 billion in 2017 as
organisations increasingly embrace digital transformation initiatives in a bid to streamline their costs and bolster their
flexibility. It is expected that communication, finance, and government will be the biggest-spending verticals in 2017,
but healthcare, transportation, and utilities are expected to be the fastest growing over the five-year forecast period.
The three pillars that constantly evolve and change are communications, mobility and energy and Mustek is well
positioned to service and add value in those pillars with our Huawei Enterprise portfolio offering and Hytera, a provider of
radio communication technology. We have several best-in-class brands and products to service the mobility market including
Lenovo, Acer, Apple, Asus and Toshiba. Our Renewable Energy division is showing good, steady growth and our fibre-optic
cabling partner, YOA, officially opened its manufacturing plant in KwaZulu-Natal in January. This comes amid a global
shortage of cabling as demand for FTTH increases.
The smart education and learning market is expected to grow as more education institutions realise the importance of
digitisation in the mobile and connected world. We are excited to be able to support schools and universities with
digital education deployment and to assist them in taking advantage of this growth opportunity. As an early adopter of
3D printing we expect this product line to show growth in the coming years as the line-up becomes mainstream. The document
scanning market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 13.85% between 2016 and 2020 and we are excited to
support our partners, Epson, Brother and Fujitsu, to take advantage of this growth.
It is clear that the Internet of Things, including home automation, security, personal/medical health and fitness,
self-driving cars, etc are getting major coverage at the moment. We have seen tremendous growth in the field of digital
surveillance. Many large camera installations are now realising that advanced analytics are required to make sense of all
the data. We at Mustek are carefully seeking alliances with the players that will translate to our unique geography and
provide appropriate opportunities.
The growth in PC gaming and e-sports is being carefully monitored and new brands like MSI have been added to the
product portfolio to ensure we meet the needs of this market. We do however note the phenomenal rise in GPU sales based
on intense interest in Crypto currency mining by the public and supply is unable to meet the demand.
Although economic and market conditions are expected to remain difficult, net finance costs should reduce in line with
lower inventory levels at both Mustek and Rectron. Lower inventory levels should also have a positive effect on gross
profit margins.
In conjunction with strategic partners from across the ICT industry, Mustek is well positioned for the forthcoming
years.
Share repurchase programme
Mustek acquired 15 000 000 ordinary shares of its issued share capital on the open market for a purchase consideration
in aggregate of R68 986 289. The general repurchase commenced on 1 September 2016 and continued on a day-to-day basis
as market conditions allowed and in accordance with the JSE Limited (JSE) Listings Requirements until 23 June 2017.
The repurchase of shares will continue to be considered by the board in conjunction with an evaluation of current and
future funding requirements in the period to 30 June 2018. This programme will be effected in accordance with the terms
of the authority granted by shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 8 December 2016. It is currently intended
that any shares purchased will be cancelled and de-listed. The market will be notified in accordance with applicable
listing rules and regulations if and when purchases are made.
Dividend
The declaration of cash dividends will continue to be considered by the board in conjunction with an evaluation of
current and future funding requirements and opportunities to repurchase shares. It will be adjusted to levels considered
appropriate at the time of declaration.
Mustek’s continued commitments to optimal cash utilisation will mean that cash generated by the operations will be

Financial assistance
During the 2014 and 2015 financial years, the board authorised the company in terms of section 45 of the Companies Act
(the Act) to provide financial assistance in the form of loans to certain directors and senior employees in order to
buy shares pursuant to an employee share scheme that satisfies the requirements of section 97 of the Act. At the time, the
board decided to charge interest on these loans at the repo rate plus 1%.
On 24 August 2017, after being satisfied that the company would satisfy the solvency and liquidity test, the board
resolved that with effect from 1 September 2017, the company will not charge interest on these loans until they are fully
repaid. All fringe benefit tax will be paid by the company and capitalised to these loans.
