The directors of OneLogix are pleased to present the unaudited condensed        
interim financial results for the six months ended 30 November 2008 ("the       
interim period").                                                               
Basis of preparation                                                            
The accounting policies and method of measurement and recognition applied in    
preparation of the unaudited condensed interim financial statements are         
consistent with those applied in the audited annual financial statements for    
the previous year ended May 2008.                                               
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in      
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (`IFRS`),           
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 and the Companies Act (Act 61 of     
1973), as amended.                                                              
These condensed interim financial results have not been audited or reviewed by  
the company`s auditors.                                                         
Review of operations                                                            
The group`s businesses continued their positive growth trend and performed in   
line with expectations during the interim period. The strategic entry into new  
niche markets in the logistics sector successfully diversified operations.      
Vehicle Delivery Services ("VDS") - recognised superior levels of service       
continued to underpin performance as VDS further entrenched its position as a   
major competitor in the vehicle logistics market. A strong position in the      
cross-border vehicle logistics market was maintained, while market share in the 
contracting local passenger market continued to grow aided by consolidation in  
the sector. Ongoing investment in people and infrastructure has continued to    
realise benefit for the company.                                                
Commercial Vehicle Delivery Services ("CVDS") has proved a successful venture   
for entry into the local commercial vehicle logistics market. Leveraging        
existing group capability, the company performed ahead of expectations.         
PostNet, a national franchised chain of 225 business service outlets for the    
high growth SME market, sustained its record performance. The business          
continued to demonstrate its resilience to market contraction, evident          
throughout its 14 year history, and remains a defensive asset with healthy      
growth potential in the OneLogix group.                                         
Media Express continued to perform well and retained a substantial share in the 
price sensitive niche market of express delivery service. The group continues   
to investigate new opportunities within and associated with this market niche   
as additional avenues for future growth. Integrated opportunities with PostNet

Press Support and Magscene together distribute upwards of 30 million newspapers 
and magazines per annum direct to the end user. Press Support will continue to  
capitalise on opportunities in the airline industry, in which it has an         
established footprint, and further its penetration of the leisure and hotel     
industry.  Magscene intends to increase its spread of titles and control over   
distribution channels. Going forward, focus will further be on expanding market 
share and improving operational efficiencies in order to optimise               
profitability.                                                                  
4Logix and Gijima are relatively high revenue, low margin businesses that offer 
logistics solutions for the rail of bulk commodities to ports throughout South  
Africa. A number of long-term contracts continued to drive a steady and         
sustainable performance. There is currently a concentrated focus on expansion   
into related bulk commodity markets.                                            
Financial results                                                               
Solid trading performances resulted in continued growth for OneLogix in the     
interim period.                                                                 
Revenue increased by 31% to R327 million from R249 million for the comparative  
interim period ended 30 November 2007 ("the comparative period"). Operating     
profit grew by 16% from R33,2 million to R38,4 million, representing 11,7% of   
revenue. Revenue grew disproportionately to operating profit due to significant 
increases in the fuel price during the period. Net profit before tax was up 14% 
to R32 million. This was negatively impacted by increased lending rates in the  
interim period. Profit after tax increased 17% to R22,8 million, supported by   
the decrease in the Corporate Income Tax rate from 29% to 28%. Headline         
earnings per share ("HEPS") grew by 15% to 8,3 cents from 7,2 cents.            
Notwithstanding increased working capital requirements commensurate with growth 
in revenue, as well as payment of tax (see below), cash flow from operations    
increased 86% from R19,6 million to R36,4 million. The group invested R40,3     
million in infrastructure, of which R20,0 million relates to expansion of the   
VDS fleet, R16,8 million to storage facilities, R2,6 million to IT              
infrastructure and R0,9 million to other assets.                                
As previously announced all tax losses have been reversed and the company is    
now in a tax-paying position. Accordingly taxes of R8,0 million were paid       
during the interim period, compared to R1,9 million in the comparative period.  
The group`s debtors days have improved despite growth in revenue and strict     
working capital policies remain in place.                                       
Prospects                                                                       
Revenue is historically weighted to the first half of the financial year.       
Adverse economic conditions globally and locally are expected to impact on the  
group in the six months ahead to year-end, particularly as regards the          
contracting automotive industry. However, this economic landscape is expected   
to drive significant consolidation in the sectors in which the group operates.  
The attractive acquisition opportunities expected to arise, which could enhance 
the group`s current areas of focus and facilitate expansion into aligned niche  
markets, should help to offset a potential slowing of organic growth.           
The group`s focus on highly competitive offerings to growth niche markets       
remains a key strength, which is well supported by established infrastructure   
and experienced and motivated management.                                       
People                                                                          
We are satisfied that the strong management teams and staff, undergoing         
continual training and skills development, are well equipped to deliver on      
strategic and operational objectives.                                           
We thank our management, employees, business partners, customers, suppliers,    
business advisors and shareholders for their continued and invaluable support.
