REVIEWED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND UNAUDITED
ILLUSTRATIVE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF MIX TELEMATICS LIMITED FOR

A WORD FROM THE CEO, STEFAN JOSELOWITZ ("JOSS")
Just when I thought I had been in business long enough to have experienced
the full ambit of economic cycles, this latest crisis hits and reminds one
that over-confidence is for war-heroes and teenagers (of which I am neither).
Although I anticipated a tough trading cycle for the period under review, I
certainly underestimated the extent of the damage to the motor industry, both
locally and abroad. Having said this, your management team has weathered the
storm reasonably well and, despite choppy conditions in some sectors of the
business, we feel that we are well positioned to navigate through these
waters.
During the period we completed two new acquisitions, both of which present
the Group with additional high growth opportunities:
Tripmaster
We concluded the acquisition of Tripmaster, based in Dallas, USA. The
business has now been re-branded MiX Telematics North America, our product
range has been fully integrated into the operation and we have phased out
sales of the old Tripmaster legacy range. As with all of our businesses, the
emphasis has also been switched to an annuity revenue focus.
SDI
We opened initial discussion and then successfully concluded the acquisition
of the SafeDrive International Group, with offices in Australia and Dubai. We
have enjoyed a long standing relationship with the vendors of SDI, who have
been distributors and product integrators of our fleet management range for
many years - with particular success in the Middle East oil-and-gas sector.
This business also dovetails nicely with our efforts in the USA, with many
cross pollination opportunities becoming apparent.
Growth
We previously announced an expansion of our sales focus to include `mega-
fleets` and also announced the award of the Debis tender for almost 10 000
vehicles. Its implementation is proceeding well, with the initial start-up
costs carried in these results with little of the future annuity revenue
benefit coming through as yet, the bulk of which only starts to flow in the
second half of this financial year. Additionally we have landed some
significant wins internationally, including the Go Ahead Bus Company in the
UK, Baker Hughes in the USA and Chevron in the USA and Middle East - these
deals represent significant growth potential for MiX.
So, halfway through our first full year of operations as a merged and listed
entity, I can report that I am satisfied with the progress that the Group has
made toward achieving both our short and medium-term objectives.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
MiX is a group that is focused on all levels of vehicle telematics, combining
vehicle tracking, driver/passenger safety and recovery services with a
complete range of fleet management products and services.

Note to the Pro Forma Comparative Income Statements
The comparative pro forma Income Statements have been prepared by management
in an effort to provide a meaningful basis of comparison for users of the
Group`s financial information and are the responsibility of the directors of
MiX. By its nature, the pro forma comparative information may not fairly
reflect the financial results of the Group after the acquisitions of
OmniBridge RSA and Omnibridge Europe on 1 October 2007.
An unqualified reporting accountant`s report was issued on the pro forma
Income Statement of the Group for the six-months ended 30 September 2007.
The pro forma Income Statement of the Group for the six-months ended 30
September 2007 was revised to reflect the reversal of the negative goodwill
(R4,4 million) and tax thereon (R2,9 million) that was included on a pro
forma provisional basis at 30 September 2007. This negative goodwill and the
tax thereon had been determined on a provisional basis and on review of the
initial accounting for the business combination at 31 March 2008, it was
determined that no negative goodwill existed in Omnibridge Europe and
accordingly the pro forma results were revised.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial information
1. Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial information ("financial
information") of the Group for the six-months ended 30 September 2008
has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS"), International Accounting Standard 34, the Listings
Requirements of the JSE Limited and the South African Companies Act
(1973) as amended. The principal accounting policies have been
consistently applied for all periods and are consistent with those used
in the preparation of the latest audited financial statements.
2. Business combinations
Effective 1 August 2008 MiX acquired 100% of the issued share capital of
Tripmaster (a US registered company), subsequently renamed MiX
Telematics North America, for a nominal consideration.
Effective 1 September 2008 MiX acquired the SDI Group of companies
("SDI") - comprising 100% of the issued share capital of SafeDrive
International (an Australian registered company), 100% of the issued
share capital of Safe Drive FZE (a UAE registered company), and a 49%
interest in Driver Training International Middle East and Africa (a UAE
registered entity) - for a total purchase consideration of AUD6 million
and 17 million ordinary shares, which will be issued at R1,00 each.
Had these acquisitions both been effective from 1 April 2008, the
Group`s revenue for the period would have increased by R50,4 million and
the profit after tax for the period would have increased by R2,6
million. Tripmaster and SDI contributed combined revenues of R11,1
million to the Group for the period and a combined net loss after tax of
R0,8 million to the Group for the period. These amounts have been
calculated using the Group`s accounting policies.
Details of the net assets acquired are as follows:

combination
The initial accounting for the business combination has been determined
on a provisional basis as the determination of fair values of all
tangible assets and liabilities and the valuation of underlying
intangible assets is still being finalised. With the acquisitions having
been concluded in the months close to the period end it was not possible
to have the initial accounting finalised for the period end. The
provisionally determined goodwill is expected to change once the fair
values of both the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities have
been finally determined. It should be noted that the negative goodwill
credited to the income statement has also been determined on a
provisional basis, accordingly this amount could change with the final
determination of the initial accounting for the business combination.
3. Changes to share capital
During the period under review the company agreed to issue 17 million
ordinary shares as part of the purchase consideration for the
acquisition of SDI - refer note 2. These shares had not been issued at
30 September 2008, however the share capital and the premium thereon has
been accounted for effective 1 September 2008, being the effective date
of acquisition for accounting purposes. The shares were included in the
weighted average number of shares in issue for the period.
4. Borrowings
During the period under review, the total borrowings increased to R200
million (31 March 2008: R152 million), R41 million of this increase is
attributable to the acquisition of SDI (refer note 2) and was raised in
September 2008.
5. Segmental analysis
The Group has the following primary reporting segments:
- Vehicle tracking (comprising MiX Telematics Africa)
- Fleet management (comprising MiX Telematics International, UK, North
America and SDI)

7. Dividends
A dividend of R9,6 million (2007: R15,5 million) was paid during the six
months under review. Using shares in issue of 640 million (2007: 240
million) this equates to a dividend of 1,5 (2007: 6,5) cents per share.
8. Contingent liabilities
8.1 Connection incentives
The Group has received connection/upgrade incentives from Mobile
Telephone Networks (Proprietary) Limited for connecting subscribers
to their network. In the event that the subscriber contract is
terminated during the two year service contract period, the full
amount of the connection/upgrade incentive received for this
subscriber contract becomes repayable. In the unlikely event that
all subscriber contracts were terminated prematurely, the potential
liability would amount to R79 million (31 March 2008: R77,6
million). No loss is expected under this arrangement.
8.2 Vehicle Security Association of South Africa ("VESA")
As previously reported, the Competition Commission has referred a
complaint that VESA (of which MiX Telematics Africa was a member)
had engaged in anti-competitive behaviour. This complaint will be
heard by the Competition Tribunal in the next few months. The
company has been advised that, due to the nature of the complaint,
there should be no monetary damages in the unlikely event of an
adverse finding. The company will continue to incur costs
associated with defending this matter.
8.3 Net working capital dispute
The Group is in dispute with the vendors of OmniBridge RSA and
OmniBridge Europe regarding the fair value of net working capital
in the businesses at the effective date of acquisition. The dispute
is being resolved in terms of the sale of shares agreement. Any
award made will have no material impact on earnings and the Group
has not accounted for any of the amounts claimed by it in the
dispute. In the event the award is not in the Group`s favour,
management does not expect the impact of this to be material.
9. Capital commitments
At 30 September 2008, capital commitments authorised but not yet
contracted for the six months ahead amounted to R15 million.
10. Independent review
The condensed consolidated interim financial information has been
reviewed by our auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., who have
performed their review in accordance with the International Standard on
Review Engagements 2410. A copy of their unqualified review report is
available for inspection at the registered office of the company.
