1. PRIOR PERIOD ERROR
   The restatement presented below has been identified by the 
   Johannesburg Stock Exchange through its proactive monitoring 
   review process.
   In the 2016 annual financial statements, the Group presented 
   the realisation of revaluation reserve to retained earnings 
   via other comprehensive income in the Statement of Profit or 
   Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The impact hereof was 
   that total comprehensive income was understated by R23.8 
   million. The restatement had no impact on the profit for the 
   period, EBITDA, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of 
   Changes in Equity, Earnings per share or Headline earnings per 
   share. 
   The effect of the restatement on the Statement of Profit or 
   Loss and Other Comprehensive Income is illustrated below:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A summary of the financial instruments measured at fair value is 
set out below.
Fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 - fair value is determined from quoted prices 
          (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or 
          liabilities. 
Level 2 - fair value is determined through the use of valuation 
          techniques based on observable inputs, either directly 
          or indirectly. 
Level 3 - fair value is determined through the unobservable 
          inputs for the asset or liability.

instruments measured at amortised cost as their carrying amounts 
closely approximate their fair value. There were no other

COMMENTARY
INTRODUCTION 
The Board of directors of Alviva (“The Board”) is pleased to 
announce the reviewed condensed consolidated financial results 
for the year ended 30 June 2017.
OVERVIEW
Alviva has delivered satisfactory results with all of its 
operating divisions performing well despite the difficult market 
conditions. 
On 30 January 2017, it was announced on SENS that Alviva had 
fulfilled all of the conditions precedent to acquire the balance 
of the ordinary share capital of Datacentrix Holdings Limited 
(“Datacentrix”). Consequently, Datacentrix has been accounted for 
as a wholly-owned subsidiary with effect February 2017. This, 
together with the consolidation in the second half of last year 
of Datacentrix, and to a lesser extent of Solareff (Proprietary) 
Limited (“Solareff”), has contributed positively to the Group in 
the year ended 30 June 2017. The strategy to diversify the 
Group’s business from that of predominantly distribution is 
bearing fruit with the contribution from the Services and 
Solutions cluster becoming more significant. In addition, the 
focus on delivering profits into cash has transformed the gearing 
of the Group and allowed us to make substantial investments 
whilst maintaining dividend payments.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Group had a satisfactory financial year. Headline earnings 
per share (“HEPS”) increased by 23.3% to 243.9 cents (2016: 197.8 
cents) and Core earnings per share (“Core EPS”) increased by 
24.9% to 256.3 cents (2016: 205.1 cents). Although Core EPS is a 
non-IFRS measure, the directors believe that it is a meaningful 
additional measure of evaluating the performance of the Group’s 
operations, particularly when the Group is looking to acquire 
additional companies into its operations. It is based on the HEPS 
measure and adjusted to exclude the amortisation charges of 
intangible assets, recognised on business combinations, and 
related transaction costs.  
Revenue increased by 16.8% to R12.8 billion and gross profit 
increased 36.6% to R2.3 billion. The increase in expenses was 
largely attributable to the inclusion of Datacentrix for the full 
year. Interest paid remained static despite paying out R563 
million on the acquisition of the balance of the shares in 
Datacentrix that Alviva did not previously own. 
Shareholders’ Equity reduced to R2.0 billion (2016: R2.1 billion) 
following the buy-out of minorities in Datacentrix and various 
share repurchase transactions and treasury shares processed 
during the year. These transactions offset the addition to equity 
from Profit for the period. The acquisition of Datacentrix only 
resulted in R100 million of long-term debt being raised as the 
balance of the acquisition was funded through internal resources 
and great cash generation. This leaves the only other significant 
debt being the funding of the Centrafin book which is ‘ring-
fenced’ with a securitisation structure.  
DIVISIONAL PERFORMANCE
ICT DISTRIBUTION
Management is pleased to report that the Distribution division 
delivered in line with expectations and contributed positively to 
the Group. In 2016, revenue for the division included two large 
deals of approximately R500 million that were not able to be 
repeated in the current year. Despite this, the pleasing aspect 
was that the division was able to make up almost all of this in 
run rate business with its enterprise and software products. 
Notwithstanding, EBITDA increased by 9.9% and the cash generated, 
due to excellent working capital management, was such that we 
were able to decrease finance costs by R10 million. Margins were 
improved due to the improved management of inventory throughout 
the period. During the period, the division contributed R317 
million (2016: R185 million) in dividends to the Group 
demonstrating that it remains a valuable supplier of capital for 
the Group to utilise in its investing activities.
SERVICES AND SOLUTIONS
This division includes Datacentrix and Solareff. Datacentrix had 
a great year and executed several big contracts during the 
period. The roll out of the upgrade of the court rooms with the 
Department of Justice, involving some 3,200 court rooms 
throughout the country, has been taxing, both logistically and 
administratively, but is now close to conclusion. In addition, it 
has executed technology upgrades in several countries for 
Barclays Africa. These projects demonstrate Datacentrix’s ability 
to conduct large scale bespoke contracts in multinational 
locations. 
The acquisition of Solareff some 17 months ago has brought the 
Group into the exciting renewable energy domain. With the 
management of this entity as the driving force, we are now 
looking to add further renewable energy entities into the cluster 
and we remain optimistic about the possibilities that this young 
energetic team can deliver within this segment in the future.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Centrafin grew its revenue by 15.7% and EBITDA grew by 16.1%.  It 
should be noted that certain additional expenses have been 
incurred since implementing the securitisation of the majority of 
its book at the beginning of May 2016. This year has been a 
tougher year for Centrafin and the book’s growth has been the 
lowest for some time (now at R649 million from R607 million a 
year ago). This has largely been due to economic factors as well 
as limiting our pricing reaction to competitive activity. The 
management of the book remains of the highest order with 
delinquent debtors remaining well below industry norms. This can 
be attributed to the application of strict credit control 
policies, the specific selection of assets to fund and a well 
experienced credit collection team.
INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Cash generated by Operations came in at R1.3 billion following 
another year of profit and exceptional working capital 
improvements. Management in each segment in the business has 
focused throughout the year on this area, albeit never at the 
expense of revenue generation. 
This has allowed us to invest in two of the best businesses we 
know – Datacentrix and Alviva – without incurring significant 
long-term debt. Datacentrix repurchased 6 461 472 shares for R35 
million in the first half of the year, and then, in February 
2017, Alviva purchased the balance of shares that it did not hold 
for R563 million. The only long-term debt taken on from this 
transaction was a R100 million preference share facility with 
ABSA. In addition, and as detailed in the SENS announcements 
dated 3 October 2016 and 29 June 2017, Alviva repurchased a total 
of 8 333 492 of its shares during the year for a total 
consideration of R150 million. A further 3 220 000 shares were 
acquired for the Forfeitable Share Plan (“FSP”), that was 
approved by shareholders at the AGM in November 2016, for a total 
consideration of R59 million. These shares will be treated as 
Treasury shares until they vest.
DIRECTORATE 
Further to previously announced succession planning measures, 
Arnold Fourie, the previous long standing Chief Executive Officer 
and current non-executive Chairperson, has announced his 
intention to step down from this role and from the Board. He will 
remain as Chairperson until a suitable candidate to replace him 
has been found. It is Arnold’s view that the succession planning 
has been successfully implemented with a management team and 
Board that is capable of taking the Alviva group to new heights. 
Although we will greatly miss all of Arnold’s wisdom, experience 
and counsel, the appointment of an independent non-executive 
Chairperson will further strengthen the independence of the 
Board.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
SHARE BUY-BACK
At the last AGM held on 25 November 2016, shareholders gave the 
Board a general approval in terms of section 46 and 48 of the 
Companies Act, by way of special resolution, to acquire shares of 
the Company. In June 2017, the Board exercised this authority and 
mandated a buy-back of issued ordinary shares of the Company, to 
a maximum of 3 840 000 shares. Since the mandate and subsequent 
to the reporting period, 2 025 696 ordinary shares have been 
bought back totaling 1.1% of the total issued share capital 
(excluding treasury shares).
No other material events, except as specifically mentioned in 
this report, occurred in the period between the reporting date 
and the date of issue of this report.
DIVIDENDS
The Company’s policy is to declare a dividend of 10% of HEPS (and 
since the introduction of dividend tax, a gross dividend of 10% 
of HEPS before deducting dividend tax).  To this end, the board 
has declared a final dividend of 25 cents (2016: 20 cents) per 
ordinary share for the financial year ended 30 June 2017. 
Notice is hereby given that a final dividend of 25 cents per 
ordinary share for the year ended 30 June 2017 has been declared 
by the Board of Directors of the Company.

PROSPECTS
The overall economy faces challenging times ahead. It is evident 
that, following the cabinet re-shuffle in March 2017, households 
have been actively shoring up their balance sheets, reverting to 
a culture of saving and living more within their means. 
Businesses too have curtailed investment and are not as yet 
utilising the low interest rate environment to leverage up their 
balance sheets meaning that conservatism is dominating economic 
behaviour at the moment. There is simply no confidence to 
encourage investment. We believe this to be temporary in nature 
but anticipate a tough six to nine months ahead. To some extent, 
the IT sector will cushion this effect but much will depend on 
the elective conference in December 2017.  
After a year of strategic alignment, during which a lot of work 
was performed to contribute to the sustainable financial well-
being of the Group, the Group is keen to rigorously pursue 
commercial opportunities to take advantage of its efficient 
infrastructure and broad offerings in the distribution and 
services cluster. 
With a rejuvenated balance sheet in place, the Group is keen to 
expand its offering through acquisition opportunities of suitable 
targets.    
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE, BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES

Financial Officer, RD Lyon CA, and complies with IAS 34: Interim 
Financial Reporting, the framework concepts and the measurement 
and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting 
Standards (“IFRS”), SAICA financial reporting guides as issued by 
the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Reporting 
Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards 
Council, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and the 
requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa (Act 71 of 
2008), as amended. All new standards and interpretations that 
came into effect during the year were assessed and adopted with 
no material impact to the reviewed condensed consolidated 
financial statements. The accounting policies, inclusive of
