COMMENTARY

1. NOTES TO THE SUMMARISED AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

1.1   BASIS OF PREPARATION

The summarised consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listing
Requirements for abridged reports, and the requirements of the
Companies Act applicable to summary financial statements. The
listing requirements require abridged 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 the Financial
Pronouncements as issued by the 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 consolidated financial
statements, from which the summary consolidated financial
statements were derived, are in terms of International Financial
Reporting Standards and are consistent with the accounting
policies applied in the preparation of the previous consolidated
annual financial statements.

The consolidated abridged report is extracted from audited
information, but is not itself audited. PricewaterhouseCoopers
Inc audited the financial statements for the year ended 30 June
2017 and expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial
statements. For a better understanding of the Group’s financial
position and results of operations, these abridged financial

**The group has adopted a new leave policy that allows
discretionary time off. The leave accrual was realised during the
period resulting in no obligation at year end. This change will
eliminate future obligations.

1.3 EARNINGS PER SHARE

BASIC EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE

Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the
profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the
parent, of R13.1 million (2016: R10.1 million) by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year of
31.3 million (2016: 34.7 million).

programme (refer to note 6).

HEADLINE EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE

Headline earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the
headline earnings attributable to ordinary equity holders of the

1.6 FAIR VALUES

The carrying amounts of all financial assets and liabilities are a
reasonable approximation of their fair value.

2. CORPORATE ACTIVITY

2.1. DIVIDEND

The directors have declared and approved a final gross dividend of
7 cents per share for the year ended 30 June 2017 from income
reserves.

The following dates will apply to the abovementioned final
dividend:

Last day to trade cum dividend:    Tuesday, 10 October 2017
Trading ex-dividend commences:     Wednesday, 11 October 2017
Record date:                       Friday, 13 October 2017
Dividend payment date:             Monday, 16 October 2017

Share certificates may not be dematerialised or re-materialised
between Wednesday, 11 October 2017 and Friday, 13 October 2017,
both days inclusive.

The dividend is made from income reserves and is subject to
dividend withholding tax of 20% which results in a net dividend of
5.6 cents per share. In determining the dividends tax (DT) of 20%
to withhold in terms of the Income Tax Act (No. 58 of 1962) for
those shareholders who are not exempt from the DT, no secondary
tax on companies (STC) credits have been utilised. Shareholders
who are not exempt from the DT will therefore receive a dividend
of (dividend multiplied by 80%) cents per share net of DT. The
Company has 34 781 471 ordinary shares in issue as at 30 June 2017
and its income tax reference number is 9841087647.

The above dates are subject to change. Any changes will be
released on SENS. Where applicable, dividends in respect of
certificated shares will be transferred electronically to
shareholders` bank accounts on the payment date. In the absence of
specific mandates, dividend cheques will be posted to
shareholders. Ordinary shareholders who hold dematerialised shares
will have their accounts at their CSDP or broker credited/updated
on Monday, 16 October 2017.

3. AUDIT REPORT

The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 have been
audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. with Pienaar Zietsman as
the designated partner. Their unmodified audit report is available
for inspection at the Company’s registered office.

4. RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

The board of directors recommend the re-appointment of PwC
Incorporated, as the independent external auditors for the
2017/2018 financial year.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to year end the directors have declared and approved a
final gross dividend of 7 cents on 12 September 2017 for the year
ended 30 June 2017 from income reserves. Other than the dividend
distribution referred to above, no events occurred subsequent to
the year end that would require adjustment to a disclosure on the
summarised consolidated financial statements.

6. PURCHASE OF TREASURY SHARES

The SilverBridge Employee Share Trust concluded an agreement with
C Shell 448 Proprietary Limited for the purchase of shares during
the period under review. The SilverBridge Employee Share Trust
purchased and paid for 5 874 923 ordinary shares for the
consideration of R11.7m on 30 November 2016. Although these shares
remain in issue, they are treated as treasury shares resulting in
the total issued number of shares of R34.8 million being reduced
to R29.0 million when considered net of treasury shares.
The purchase of the treasury shares has been disclosed accordingly
in the Summarised Audited Consolidated Statement of Financial
Position, Summarised Audited Consolidated Statement of Changes in
Equity and Summarised Audited Consolidated statement of Cash
Flows. The effect on the weighted number of shares in issue and
the resulting Earnings per Share has been disclosed in note 1.3

7. RECOGNITION OF DEFERRED TAX ASSET

An assessed loss carried forward incurred by SilverBridge Holdings
Limited, resulted in unrecognised deferred tax for the previous
financial year. A deferred tax asset of R3.18m was recognised to
the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

8. FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE

We are pleased with the continued improvement in our results and
the ability to declare another dividend. Net profit increased by
30% compared to the prior year. Revenue was up 8%, with good
growth in annuity-based software rental making up for a decline in
implementation revenue and a small increase in support revenue.
Growth in revenue was also assisted by the managed services
revenue increasing by 45%, albeit off a small base. Total costs
(net of other income) increased by 8% leading to a 7% increase in
profit before interest and tax. Net profit was up 30%, and HEPS
was up 43% to 41.51 cents from 29.05 cents in the prior year.

The following once-off, non-cash flow items impacted positively on
the current year’s results:

  •   The decreased number of shares used in the earnings per share
      and headline earnings per share calculation from the share
      purchase by the Silverbridge Employee Share Trust (which
      increased the number of treasury shares). These shares will
      vest in employees as they pay back the respective loan
      amounts related to the shares purchased and as outstanding
      share options vest.

  •   The recognition by SilverBridge of a deferred tax asset from
      an incurred assessed tax loss that was carried forward from
      prior periods.

The following once-off, non-cash flow items impacted negatively on
the current year’s results:

  •   The increase in the office rental expense from the smoothing
      of the expense over the newly entered five-year lease period
      as required in terms of IAS 17 Leases.

  •   The increase in IFRS 2 share base payment charges resulting
      from the acquisition of shares by employees in terms of the
      share ownership scheme as well as calculations related to the
      share option scheme.

Cash on hand reduced to R11.55 million compared to R26.96 million
at the previous year end. This was mainly a result of the treasury
share purchase, mentioned in note 7. The balance sheet remains
healthy and debt free.

Our client relationships also remain healthy. We continued with
efforts into higher value-added offerings for existing clients as
well as further developing our offerings in cloud-based hosting
and managed services. We are satisfied with the performance and
especially with the growth in the annuity software rental segment.
We remain focused on efforts to enable ongoing growth.

SEGMENTAL REVIEW

Implementation services

This segment implements our solutions for clients and is project
based.

Although revenue declined by 10%, the segment posted a profit for
the year.

The revenue decline is a result of further improvement in delivery
efficiencies. We are implementing projects faster and more
efficiently to enable better growth in the support and software
rental segments.

We are happy with our implementation delivery model and continue
to secure new contracts in the small to medium sized market in
South Africa and the rest of Africa.

Support services

Support is contracted on a monthly basis and is annuity based.

Revenue increased by 4%, helped by new offerings in data
analytics. The segment result decreased to a profit of R269k
compared to a profit of R2m in the comparative period.

There was a slowdown in the second half which impacted growth and
margins. However, several new contracts have been won near the end
of the period, which should assist growth going forward.

We continue to focus on additional higher value-added offerings in
this segment.

Hosting and outsourcing services

This segment provides a range of complimentary managed services to
our clients. The services include cloud based hosting, outsourced
technical services and full business process outsourcing.
This is still a relatively new initiative for the Group. It
enables us to offer additional services to existing clients as
well as make our offerings appeal to a wider range of potential
clients. It also helps keep our offerings relevant with regard to
technology trends.

For the year, the segment generated revenue of R3.2 million, which
was 45% up on the prior year. After the allocation of indirect
costs the segment made a loss of R2.2 million. We remain satisfied
with the progress thus far, albeit slower than we had hoped.
Nevertheless, there are good opportunities ahead and we envisage
the segment becoming profitable as it achieves more scale.

Software rental and maintenance

Software rental is annuity based.

Revenue was up 14% with growth mainly driven by new customers. The
segment made a profit of R34 million, compared to R23 million in
the prior year. The overall margin increased to 81% from 62% in
the comparative period.

We are pleased with the performance in this segment. Our software
and the growth of our annuity rental stream remain a core focus
going forward.

Research and development (“R&D”)

During the year significant effort was invested into the first
phase of a new product which is aimed at opening up a segment of
our market which was previously not suited to our offering. We
plan to complete this project and take the product to market in
the next year. This new product is classified as an internally
generated intangible asset not yet ready for use. A mandatory
impairment test was performed with no impairment identified.

We also continued with R&D efforts in order to keep our existing
assets relevant in terms of technology and market trends.

During the period, total direct costs were R12.2 million, up from
R6.6 million in the prior year, of which R4.2 million was
capitalised.

9. GROUP OUTLOOK

Overall, we remain positive about the outlook for the Group. We
continue to build our core annuity streams and make progress with
revenue growth, despite the tough economic climate.
We are pleased to see that new initiatives are paying off, albeit
slower than expected. We are excited about our new product
development project. We remain optimistic that our efforts will
help enable sustained growth.

The financial services industry continues to adapt to meet its
customers’ changing needs in an increasingly digital world.
Financial services providers are driving change in their business.
They are differentiating their products and services in order to
remain relevant in a rapidly changing world. This results in many
of our existing and potential clients searching for solutions to
enable them to adapt quickly and more effectively. SilverBridge
remains well positioned to meet these needs. It presents us with
opportunities to create platforms that can help the industry to
adapt and continues guiding our new product development
initiatives.
