Commentary
Corporate information
Mustek is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in South Africa. The main business of Mustek, its
subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates is the assembling, marketing and distribution of Information Communication
Technology (ICT) products and services. 

Basis of preparation
The audited summarised consolidated financial information for the year ended 30 June 2014 has been prepared in
accordance with the framework concepts and measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”), the SAICA Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Reporting
Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council, the information as required by IAS 34: Interim Financial
Reporting, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The
audited financial statements and this set of provisional financial information, which are based on reasonable judgements
and estimates, have been prepared using accounting policies that comply with IFRS. These are consistent with those
applied in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013.

Auditors’ opinion
The independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche, have issued their unmodified opinion on the Group’s annual financial
statements and this set of summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014. The audit was
conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. The directors take full responsibility for the preparation
of this provisional report and the financial information has been derived from the Group financial statements and are
consistent in all material aspects with the Group financial statements. Their unmodified audit reports for this set of
summarised consolidated financial statements and the Group annual financial statements are available for inspection at
the company’s registered office. Any reference to future financial performance included in this announcement has not been
reviewed or reported on by the company’s auditors.

Discontinued operations and re-presentation of comparative numbers
Rectron Australia BV was classified as a discontinued operation at 30 June 2013. During the year, management took a
decision not to dispose of the company. As a result, the comparative statement of comprehensive income has been re-presented to 
include the results of Rectron Australia BV as part of continuing operations.

Operating results
The Group is pleased to announce that the gross profit percentage improved from 13,5% to 13,8% after a declining trend
in recent years. Revenue increased by 13,4% to R4,764 billion (2013: R4,203 billion). The revenue growth was supported
mainly by the growth in the Acer, Lenovo and Asus product ranges as well as the Security range of products distributed.

Excluding the effect of the additional short-term incentive bonuses paid to Mustek and Rectron’s executive teams, the
increase in the provision for share-based payment expenses, the increase in the provision for bad debts, once-off
repairs and maintenance to the Midrand premises, the cost of our LED installation and once-off legal and retrenchment costs in
Rectron’s Australian subsidiary, distribution, administrative and other operating expenses increased by 9,6%. 

The Group’s more conservative forex hedging policy appears to be working well and as a result, forex losses decreased
from R51,2 million in 2013 to R23,2 million in the current year.

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 R7,2 million (2013: R8,2 million) was classified as finance costs as opposed to
forex losses.

The contribution from our associates increased mainly as a result of the additional earnings arising from the
acquisition of an effective 26% stake in Sizwe Africa IT Group Proprietary Limited effective from 10 March 2014. 

Rectron Australia incurred losses in the year under review mostly arising from legal fees incurred in settling a shareholder's 
dispute and retrenchment costs. Prior to the change in management, the company lost a number of key distribution rights and 
had very limited access to higher margin products. New management was appointed effective January 2014 and managed to secure 
various new higher margin distribution rights in addition to regaining most of those previously lost. Through a better product mix, 
the company managed to return to profitability during July 2014. The board is confident that the company will show a significant 
improvement for the 2015 financial year.

As a result, Mustek’s headline earnings is 38,3% higher at 100,72 cents per share (2013: 72,85 cents per share) and
basic earnings is 27,6% higher at 100,07 cents per share (2013: 78,43 cents per share).

Cash flow
Increased levels of inventory and receivables resulted in cash used in operations of R83,8 million. Inventories
increased by R333,0 million, mainly as a result of delays in orders. The excess inventory will be largely disposed of by the
end of September 2014.

Transformation
Following an audit by an accredited verification agency, Mustek was awarded a level 2 BBBEE rating, using the 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 operatives and commercial benefits of such a process
can be achieved, thereby ensuring the sustainability of the Group in a competitive market sector.

Board of directors
No changes were made to the board during the year under review. Total remuneration paid to directors for the year
under review amounted to R14,8 million (2013: R9,5 million) and share-based payments of R6,8 million (2013: R0,5 million)
were expensed relating to directors.

Corporate activities
On 9 July 2013, the Group disposed of 10% of its investment in Zinox Technologies Limited, a company incorporated in
Nigeria for a cash consideration of USD850 000. The Group retains a 20% investment in Zinox.

On 31 July 2013, the Group acquired vacant land in Midrand for an amount of R9,6 million for future expansion
purposes.

The acquisition of an effective 26% interest in Sizwe Africa IT Group Proprietary Limited (“Sizwe”), announced on SENS
on 13 December 2013, was completed on 10 March 2014. Mustek acquired a 26% stake in Sizwe, a provider of information
and communications technology products, network products and solutions and information technology maintenance and support
services for a total cash consideration of R15,2 million. Mustek also advanced a loan of R6,7 million to Zaloserve
Proprietary Limited (“Zaloserve”), the ultimate holding company of Sizwe and a loan of R8,0 million to Omni Capital
Proprietary Limited (“Omni”), a 100% black-owned company as part of its enterprise development initiatives. Interest is charged
at the prime rate and the loan is repayable five years from the effective date. In turn, Omni subscribed for 35% of the
share capital of Zatophase Proprietary Limited (“Zatophase”) for a total consideration of R8,2 million and Mustek subscribed for 
65% in Zatophase for a total consideration of R15,2 million. Zatophase subscribed for 40% of the share capital of Zaloserve, 
Sizwe’s ultimate holding company, for a total consideration of R23,3 million.

Mustek acquired 100% of the share capital in Mecer Technology Limited, a company incorporated in Taiwan that manages
the Group’s procurement function in China and Taiwan by investing R5,5 million and R1,1 million on 28 January 2014 and 
23 April 2014 respectively.

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 updating corporate governance practices where necessary and are enhancing our internal
information gathering systems to provide the quality and type of information required for authentically integrated annual
reports. 

Initiatives include the reduction in energy consumption after a target to reduce energy consumption by 20% was set in
2011. This target was reached through ongoing staff awareness programmes, the replacement of ICT equipment with
energy-efficient units, installing hundreds of rooftop solar panels and thousands of LED lights. These installations will pay
for themselves in a few short years and will not only significantly reduce our overall electricity footprint, it will also
demonstrate the viability of renewable energy for powering corporate infrastructure.

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.

Mustek has further maintained its ISO 14001 certification since 2004 and has received no fines or sanctions for
non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations. 

Industry outlook
Desktop computer sales are showing resilience and recovery from the corporate and consumer demand for larger screens
and more powerful processors to accomplish sophisticated tasks which they cannot do on Tablets. Corporate demand is
currently the largest driver for South Africa’s technology purchases. Windows 8.1 adoption by corporations is increasing, but
we believe corporations are waiting for “Windows 9” with its renewed emphasis on the Desktop.

Large scale fibre to the home, FTTH seems like it’s finally becoming a reality. Suburbs, municipalities and gated
communities deciding to roll out FTTH themselves are stimulating the carriers into action. FTTH infrastructure spend will
benefit Huawei, cable and fibre sales in the Group. In addition, it will boost the demand on all Devices (Desktop,
Notebook, Tablet, and Smartphone) connected to the network.

Intel’s fifth-generation processors Broadwell - Core M will likely replace Haswell. We expect an enhanced
mobile-device experience with longer battery life and better graphics processing. The 14nm design has shown heat decreases four fold
so Tablets based on this technology will be a compelling design. Products based on this design will be ready for the
all-important Christmas period. We eagerly await Ultrabooks based on Broadwell-U and high performance Desktops on
Broadwell-H later this year and in early 2015.

At the Microsoft Build Conference held in April this year, the newly appointed CEO Satya Nadella announced that Windows 8.1, 
Office 365, and 1TB Cloud Storage would be free on Tablets for consumers. This game changing announcement coupled with 
Intel’s Bay Trail-T SOC (system on chip), the first platform from Intel focused entirely on entry level Tablets, has created a 
category of Windows Tablets with compelling and competitive price points. Scheduled for mass market release in the last quarter 
of the year, we expect significant uptake from consumers.

Company outlook
Mustek has now completed the first phase of our expansion from an IT distributor into a well-rounded ICT provider of
end-to-end hardware solutions. Every level of the technology stack is now filled by well proven branded products, from
tablets and computers right through to networking/fibre systems and CCTV surveillance solutions. Our in-house Mecer brand
is offered alongside a wide range of popular international brands.

Our suite of products provides Mustek with the flexibility to switch focus to more profitable market segments. Recognising that 
desktop unit sales are not showing high growth, we can push our strong variety of entry-level, mid-level and aspirational tablets.

The Group is also starting to see some traction in its Microsoft Volume Licensing offering, Huawei Enterprise
Solutions, CCTV Surveillance and Cabling products and expects growing contributions to both revenue and profit going forward.

Mustek Limited’s Midrand Service Division has been certified as ISO 20000 compliant. This ISO 20000 compliance recognises Mustek’s 
well-entrenched and structured approach to service management in the provision of IT and repair services. The certification will 
see Mustek’s customers benefitting from a multitude of value added services ranging from:
- Refined service agreements, 
- Improved description of services, 
- Improved customer communication, 
- Optimal management of availability, reliability and cost factors associated with products.

As the first distributors in the South African ICT industry to achieve the ISO 20000 certification, we expect the certification to 
give us access to large organisations who have also implemented ISO 20000.

In conjunction with strategic partners from across the ICT industry, Mustek is well positioned for the forthcoming years.

Share repurchase programme
Mustek acquired 5 550 405 ordinary shares in the issued share capital of Mustek on the open market for a purchase
consideration in aggregate of R36 326 714. The general repurchase commenced on 28 February 2014 and continued on a
day-to-day basis as market conditions allowed and in accordance with the JSE Limited (“JSE”) Listings Requirements until 
6 June 2014.

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 2015. This programme will be effected in accordance with the terms
of the authority granted by shareholders at the 2014 AGM. 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 will be adjusted to levels considered appropriate at the time of declaration.

Mustek’s continued commitment to optimal cash utilisation will mean that cash generated by the operations will be used
to fund growth and reduce debt. To this end, the final dividend declared by the board of directors for the financial
year ended 30 June 2014 has been increased to 28 cents (2013: 20 cents) per share.

Notice is hereby given that a final dividend of 28 cents per ordinary share for the year ended 30 June 2014 is
declared, payable to shareholders recorded in the books of the company at the close of business on the record date appearing
below. This dividend is declared out of income reserves. The company’s income tax reference number is 9550081716 and has
106 682 760 ordinary shares in issue and ranking for dividend at the date of this declaration. The South African dividend
tax rate is 15% and no Secondary Tax on Companies credits have been utilised, resulting in a net dividend of 23,80 cents
per share to shareholders who are not exempt. 

The salient dates applicable to the final dividend are as follows:
Last day of trade cum dividend            Friday, 26 September 2014
