COMMENTARY
DIRECTORS` STATEMENT
Your directors take pleasure in presenting the unaudited interim results of the
Group for the six months ended 30 June 2008.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Group`s interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2008
have been prepared in terms of International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") in compliance with IAS34: Interim Financial Reporting.
The accounting policies used in preparing the interim financial statements were
consistent with those applied in the 2007 Annual Financial Statements and are in
accordance with IFRS.
CONTINGENT ASSET
At the date of the sale of KFM to Primedia, KFM was in the process of
challenging the South African Revenue Services ("SARS") disallowance of a trade
mark write-off and interest and penalties raised of R20,7 million.
In the event that KFM is successful against SARS the purchase price that
Primedia paid to acquire KFM will be increased by 97% of the sums recovered and
the present value of future trade mark deductions. NAIL bears all costs in this
regard.
PRIMEDIA LIMITED ("PRIMEDIA") OFFER
NAIL announced on 17 December 2004 that it had received a firm intention to make
an offer from Primedia to acquire all the issued ordinary and `N` ordinary
shares ("NAIL share") in NAIL as one indivisible transaction. Shareholders are
referred to the announcement for the full terms of the offer.
The salient terms of the offer are:
* The offer price of R0,356 per NAIL share in cash. NAIL will have no assets
except 24,9% of Kaya FM (Pty) Limited ("Kaya"), the various loans to P4 Radio
Cape Town (Pty) Limited and P4 Radio Durban (Pty) Limited ("P4 Loans") and
various claims and preference shares in Motsamai Media (Pty) Limited and Makana
SPV (Pty) Limited ("the SPV interests") which hold 24,9% of Kaya FM.
* The offer price is reduced by R0,146 per NAIL share if the SPV interests have
been sold or recovered and R0,059 per NAIL share if the P4 Loans have been sold
or repaid.
* Interest in the event NAIL has not disposed the SPV interests and the P4 Loans
will amount to 0,228 cents per month from 1 April 2005.
Conditions precedent
* NAIL`s disposal of Hertz.
* Regulatory approvals, to the extent required, including but not limited to the
JSE Limited, the Securities Regulation Panel and the Competition Authority.
Hertz was sold during the 2005 financial year. The Competition Appeal Court on
19 November 2007 upheld an application by African Media Entertainment Limited
("AME") to the Competition Appeal Court to set aside a decision by the
Competition Tribunal to unconditionally approve the merger between Primedia,
Capricorn Capital Partners and NAIL. The Competition Appeal Court referred the
merger back to the Competition Tribunal for consideration and determination. The
Competition Tribunal ruled on 8 May 2008 that the merger between Primedia,
Capricorn Capital Partners and NAIL may proceed without conditions. AME has
requested a review of this decision by the Competition Appeal Court.
The sale of the SPV interests and P4 Loans has the effect of reducing the
Primedia offer to R0,151 per NAIL share in cash plus the appropriate interest.
AME OFFER
AME made an offer on or about 13 July 2005 to acquire NAIL`s 24,9% shareholding
in Kaya FM (Pty) Limited ("Kaya") for R21 million. The sale by NAIL of Kaya
would require shareholder approval. NAIL received written confirmation from
shareholders controlling more than 50% of NAIL voting interests ("NAIL
controlling shareholders") that they would not support a sale of Kaya out of
NAIL. This fact was communicated to AME. On 12 January 2006 AME increased their
offer for Kaya to R25 million. The NAIL controlling shareholders have reviewed
the revised offer and have indicated that there original position has not
changed. This fact has been communicated to AME.
REVIEW OF RESULTS
The performance this period reflects the results of 24,9% of Kaya and Head
Office activities. The administrative expenses include R1,0 million incurred in
the KFM trade mark case (see Contingent asset above).
