COMMENTS                                                                        
The Board of Directors presents the audited provisional financial results for   
the Group for the year ended 31 December 2006 which have been prepared in       
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").           
NATURE OF THE BUSINESS                                                          
The primary business of the Group is the financing of secured structured leases 
to clients. Industrial Credit Company Africa Holdings Limited "ICC Holdings", is
the holding company of Industrial Credit Company Zambia "ICC Zambia", which in  
turn owns all the shares in Industrial Credit Company South Africa (Proprietary)
Limited "ICC South Africa".                                                     
BUSINESS REVIEW                                                                 
The Group focus during 2006 was to maintain leasing products and markets, and to
further develop and expand its product line in respect of operating leases.     
The South African Rand weakened against the US Dollar during the period under   
review and has traded in a broad band between R6,34 and R7,05.  The fluctuation 
is largely due to the instability of the US Dollar.  The stability of the Rand  
is important for shareholders to draw comparatives as the major trading currency
of the Group is US Dollars and Zambian Kwatcha, before translation of the       
figures into South African Rand.                                                
ICC South Africa`s contribution towards Group revenues remains immaterial.      
FINANCIAL REVIEW                                                                
ICC reported a net loss for the year of R13,75 million, which incorporates the  
following:                                                                      
Revenue decreased by 9% from the prior year, due to the company focusing on     
improving its cash flow and re-negotiating its borrowings, thus few new finance 
leases were written during the year. However the revenue attributable to        
operating leases increased by 57,5% resulting from assets purchased during the  
prior year. The revenue from operating leases contributed 19% towards the total 
revenue of ICC Zambia.                                                          
Impairment of goodwill of R6,4 million, which was necessary to restate the      
carrying value of goodwill arising upon consolidation of ICC Zambia, calculated 
based on estimates of future cash flows in ICC Zambia as required in terms of   
IFRS 3: Business Combinations.                                                  
A large increase was required in the provision for doubtful debts of ICC Zambia 
(equivalent to R8,2 million), due to the Bank of Zambia (Central Bank and the   
supervisory authority) changing its methodology of provisioning policies, in    
terms of acceptable collateral offered by lessees. The directors of ICC Zambia  
consider this expense to be of an exceptional nature, as it will not be repeated
in the future.                                                                  
The increase in finance costs is due to the following:                          
Bank overdraft facilities were required to be used to finance operations in     
Zambia, as long-term credit lines had been fully repaid as at 31 December 2005. 
The bank overdraft facilities in Zambia carry a much higher cost of funding than
the long-term credit lines.  The long-term borrowings have now been             
renegotiated, the benefit of which will be seen in 2007.                        
Large deposits were received from customers on money market instruments,        
resulting in increased finance charges being paid on these instruments.         
Normal operating expenditure decreased by 15% due to the decrease in revenue as 
well as fluctuation in foreign exchange rates.                                  
The large movement in the tax charge is due to no withholding tax being paid as 
a dividend was not declared by Zambia during the current year.

table has been extracted from the Group Income Statement.

Property, plant and equipment decreased due to the disposal of non-operating    
assets during the year.  ICC Zambia`s leasehold buildings were revalued by      
Anderson & Anderson, independent registered valuation surveyors, on             
11 December 2006 on the basis of open market values for existing use.  This     
resulted in a revaluation surplus of                                            
R1 091 million.                                                                 
The decrease in loans receivable resulted from the repayment of loans and       
advances in ICC Zambia.  The large decrease in net investment in finance leases,
and increase in lease debtors resulted from few new leases being written during 
2006, as a result of the attempts to improving the cash flow of ICC Zambia      
during the year.  In addition to this, the appreciation of the Zambian Kwacha   
against the US Dollar had a negative effect on the lease book during the year.  
Borrowings decreased during the year as a result of the decreased activity in   
the lease book during the year, and cash generated from existing leases was used
to meet capital commitments and decrease the bank overdraft.                    
Foreign translation reserves increased by a R1,7 million loss as a result of the
exchange rate fluctuations.                                                     
During 2002, SAEDF extended a loan of R5 000 000 to ICC Africa Holdings Limited.
The terms of the contract are currently being disputed by the parties.          
Shareholders will be kept abreast of developments, as they take place.

TRANSITIONAL ADJUSTMENT IN TERMS OF IFRS                                        
The prior year numbers have been restated to reflect the transition from South  
African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, to IFRS.  The     
adjustment represents:                                                          
-    The reversal of amortization of goodwill which arose on the acquisition of 
    ICC Zambia, as goodwill is not required to be amortised in terms of IFRS 3: 
    Business combinations. The effect of the adjustment has been disclosed in   
the transitional reconciliations presented below.                           
-    The adoption of the new interpretation of IAS17 (AC105) - Operating leases,
    which includes fixed rental increases. The rental expense pertaining to the 
    Zambian subsidiary is not currently covered by a lease agreement, as the    
contract is being re-negotiated with the landlord and therefore there was   
    no commitment at year end. The two South African entities have entered into 
    a month-to-month rental contract, with no fixed escalation clauses, which   
    results in no material adjustment required.                                 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE                                                            
The Group will provide a full Corporate Governance report in its Annual Report. 
DIVIDENDS                                                                       
No dividends will be paid for the foreseeable future, as cash generated will be 
retained and utilised to grow and expand the business of the Group.             
AUDIT OPINION
