3.   FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE

Despite positive growth in our core annuity revenue segments we
experienced a difficult six months in terms of implementation
revenue and growth of some of our new initiatives. This was
largely influenced by the continued slow down of the economies in
the countries in which we do business, as well as increased
political uncertainty in many African countries, including South
Africa.

Our customers in Zimbabwe have specifically faced a difficult
period and continue to do so. These businesses while large and
successful, with strong financial positions, have found it
difficult to get access to foreign currency to pay for the
software and services we have been contracted for and provided
them. We however remain committed to these businesses and
continue to support them while their country navigates this
difficult period. From an accounting perspective we have taken a
position that, where there is historic evidence and an indication
from these customers that payment may be made on delayed terms,
we will discount the revenue amount and account for a financing
component as finance cost which is then realised over this
extended period. This charge to the income statement was R1
million for the period under review.

Revenue was down 4% as a result of a significant decrease in the
implementation segment. Revenue from our core annuity segments of
software rental and support, however, grew by 10% and 8%
respectively. Gross profit was down 18%, impacted by the decrease
in revenue but also due to no capitalisation of costs. After the
allocation of indirect costs, an operating loss was posted for
the period.

Our cash position increased to R14.5 million from R13.5 million
at year end. The balance sheet remains healthy and debt free.

Despite difficult circumstances we have maintained strong
relationships with our clients. Although not to the extent that
we would have hoped, we have had some success in securing new
contracts for some of our new offerings. While the drop in
revenue and earnings is disappointing, we are pleased that we
continued to strengthen and grow our annuity segments.

SEGMENTAL REVIEW

IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES

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

Revenue decreased by 81% due to the low number of implementations
when compared to the comparative period. This was mainly due to
delayed decisions in securing new business. After the allocation
of indirect costs, the segment posted a loss.

We remain happy with our implementation delivery model. Although
we have not secured many new deals in the period, we see this as a
temporary impact of the current economic and political climate.

SUPPORT SERVICES

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

Revenue increased by 8% from higher demand for additional support
and projects. The segment posted a loss of R4.5 million compared
to a loss of R1.2 million in the comparative period. This was due
to the excess capacity which historically would have been
allocated to the implementation segment being used to provide
value to our existing customers.

We continue to focus on additional higher value-added offerings in
this segment. Despite the tough economic climate, we are seeing a
pickup in the uptake of these offerings.

HOSTING AND OUTSOURCING SERVICES

This segment provides a range of complementary managed services to
our clients. The services include cloud-based hosting, outsourced
technical services, digitalisation services and full business
process outsourcing.

This segment is important for the Group as 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 regarding technology trends.

Revenue was down 8% from R2.3 million to R2.1m as a result of the
cancellation of some outsourced contracts. The segment posted a
loss of R1 million after an increase in direct costs in an effort
to generate more revenue and growth in this segment.

While the slowdown in growth of this segment is disappointing, we
still see opportunities that lie ahead. We envisage the segment
becoming a larger contributor to profit as it achieves more scale.

SOFTWARE RENTAL AND MAINTENANCE

Software rental is annuity based.

Revenue was up 10% from the addition of new clients that were
implemented in the previous year. The segment posted a profit of
R17.4 million compared to R14.6 million in the comparative period.
While we continued to invest in the maintenance of our products,
we were able to do so at a comparatively lower cost in this
period.
Our software and the growth of our annuity rental stream remain a
core focus going forward.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (“R&D”)

The majority of our research and development for the period was
related to research efforts in terms of insurtech opportunities.

Total direct costs were R3.9 million compared to R4.8 million in
the comparative period. Given that the nature of these efforts
were research based, no amounts were capitalised.

4.   GROUP OUTLOOK

We remain positive about the future despite a challenging period.
Although the tough economic conditions and political uncertainty
are likely to remain for some time, we are confident that we are
well positioned to capitalise on any improvement that may come in
future. We also remain committed to our customers in Zimbabwe and
confident that our relationships will hold us in good stead when
the country is in a better position.

We still see opportunity within some of our new initiatives,
albeit slower than expected. We continue to build our core annuity
streams which are the foundation of the group.

The financial services industry continues to face significant
challenges and increased competition to meet its customers’
changing needs in an increasingly digital 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 product development initiatives.
