INTRODUCTION                                                                    
Eqstra`s first full trading year as a listed company coincided with the         
global                                                                          
economic downturn. However, Eqstra`s vertically integrated business model       
proved its worth despite precipitous declines in several core customer          
sectors.                                                                        
Eqstra is an integrated capital equipment and leasing provider with value-      
added                                                                           
services in Construction and Mining, Passenger and Commercial Vehicles and      
Industrial Equipment with operations in South Africa, the rest of Africa and    
the United Kingdom ("UK").                                                      
In a year characterised by change, more specifically the speed and magnitude    
of the downturn, Eqstra`s business model has demonstrated its ability to        
provide a uniquely solid foundation through extreme market fluctuations by      
providing total solutions for a diverse spectrum of customers. We are able to   
rapidly move into new markets, flexibly switch between capital intensive        
activities to value added services limiting capital expenditure and protect     
revenue streams                                                                 
through our comprehensive after-market services.                                
The ongoing actions taken to limit the impact of this downturn is having the    
desired effect. Our Construction and Mining division was awarded three          
opencast mining and rehabilitation contracts in coal which will replace         
platinum contracts that ended. Two of these contracts commenced during the      
latter part of the period under review whilst the other will commence once      
the mining licence is granted.                                                  
In addition, Eqstra`s South African bank-funding package was reaffirmed and     
covenants renegotiated to incorporate a change of the group`s interest cover    
ratio covenant methodology from EBIT (earnings before interest and taxation)    
to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and                 
amortisation). This methodology is more appropriate for a company focused on    
cash flow and cash generation.                                                  
Prior year comparative pro forma unaudited financial statements which           
comprise the ten months trading for the period 26 June 2007 to 30 April 2008    
that represent the divisional financial statements of the Leasing and Capital   
Equipment division of Imperial Holdings Limited prior to unbundling and two     
months audited financial statements from 1 May 2008 to 30 June 2008 have been   
prepared for illustrative purposes only, providing a more meaningful            
comparison.                                                                     
OVERVIEW OF RESULTS                                                             
At the interim results we advised shareholders that the remainder of the year   
would be extremely challenging, given the combined effects of depressed         
commodities prices, slowing economic growth, inclement weather and stricter     
criteria by banks for financing capital equipment. These predictions            
materialised, resulting in losses after tax for the second half of the          
financial year of R179 million against the first half profit after tax of       
R224 million.                                                                   
Full year basic earnings and headline earnings per share to 30 June 2009        
were 16.6 cents and 12.0 cents per share respectively, which is 90.3% and       
92.4% lower than the 2008 comparable pro-forma basic earnings of 170.3 cents    
and pro-forma headline earnings of 158.7 cents per share.                       
Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2009 grew by R347 million to R7 889          
million, 4.6% higher compared to prior year.                                    
Operating profit decreased by 23.8% to R943 million mainly due to increased     
depreciation charges based on a leasing fleet that increased by 9.0% to R7      
138 million. This resulted in operating margins reducing from 16.4% to 12.0%.   
Net working capital (inventories, receivables and payables) increased by        
R566 million to R1 349 million mainly due to the large reduction in trade and   
other payables as inventory became fully paid and slower sales in the second    
half of the year.                                                               
Debt levels increased by R976 million to R6 730 million in order to finance     
the acquisition of long term revenue producing assets and net working           
capital. The increased debt and high interest rates during the year resulted    
in net finance costs increasing by 55.3% to R795 million.                       
Cash generated by operations increased by 19.0% to R2 096 million as a          
result of strong operating cash flows and focused management of working         
capital throughout the year. Net capital expenditure decreased by R313          
million to R2 446 million. The group`s commercial paper issuance continues      
successfully with R1 603 million in issue at year-end supported by a standby-   
liquidity facility of R1 950 million.                                           
DIVISIONAL REVIEW                                                               
Construction and Mining: Contract mining and plant rental                       
Revenue increased by 31.8% to R3 162 million in spite of the conclusion of      
mining contracts for Zimplats and Lonmin in November 2008 and the decrease in   
production for other platinum projects. Increases in net finance costs of       
107.7% and depreciation of 62.9% resulted in net profit before tax reducing     
by 68.7% to R135 million. Leasing assets increased by 23.7% to R3 117 million   
in anticipation of increased activity in coal.                                  
The commodity slowdown, conclusion of two platinum mining contracts, lower      
resulting utilisation of equipment and illegal industrial action at one of      
our sites resulted in revenue losses in excess of R70 million per month for     
the second half of the financial year. This was further worsened by the later   
than expected start up of projects that were awarded in coal that did not       
generate                                                                        
income in the period.                                                           
The plant rental division delivered solid results for the year. It also         
benefited from the current scarcity of accessible funding, with many            
customers electing to rent rather than purchase heavy equipment.                
In this competitive market, this division is widely recognised for its          
ability to add value through expertise as opposed to merely supplying           
equipment. This attribute underpins steady activity levels, even when markets   
are as volatile as they are at present.                                         
Construction and Mining: Distributorships                                       
Performance for the year was heavily affected by the economic downturn as       
construction equipment sales declined by more than 50%. In addition sales to    
the diamond and platinum mining sectors reduced materially where the            
divisions mining sales were concentrated. This caused revenue to decrease by    
10.6% to R1 969 million. An operating loss of R16 million was incurred as a     
result of the lower revenue and non-recurring costs of R114 million for         
restructuring and inventory impairments due to the stronger Rand.               
Inventory and debtors reduced by R247 million to R1 528 million which was       
offset by creditors reducing by R753 million to R315 million. This increase     
in net working capital resulted in increased net finance costs of 146.6% to     
R143 million.                                                                   
Significantly lower revenue in the second half was primarily due to global      
credit markets effectively freezing around September 2008. This led to a        
significant number of customers not being able to obtain finance for their      
capital equipment and, in some cases, for their projects.                       
The division will continue to concentrate on reducing discretionary costs,      
targeting sales to reduce inventory and diversifying its markets to balance     
its exposure to platinum and diamonds. Its geographic footprint is now          
streamlined and optimal use will be made of synergies within the group.         
Passenger and Commercial Vehicles                                               
The division was able to withstand prevailing economic conditions due to the    
annuity business model and develop new product opportunities that are less      
capital intensive. Revenue remained constant at R1 847 million. Operating       
profit decreased by 9.3% to R361 million partly as a result of the conclusion   
of the Government of Lesotho contract in the prior year and higher              
depreciation charges on the leasing fleet due to conservative residual          
values.                                                                         
The shift in focus towards commercial vehicles has resulted in optimised        
life-cycle management opportunities with consequent downstream benefits for     
the entire division. Energies were concentrated on selective business           
opportunities and managing the balance between risk and reward.                 
The primary focus areas will continue to be maintaining the integrity of the    
balance sheet, working capital management, key employee and customer            
retention and true value creation through product diversification to non-       
capital intensive initiatives and supplier management.                          
Industrial Equipment                                                            
The division`s revenue increased by 4.5% to R1 503 million, despite the         
market reducing by over 51% compared to the prior year. Operating profit        
decreased by 14.0% to R191 million as a result of a significant shift           
recorded from outright sales to rental sales with 61% of forklifts sold into    
the rental fleet compared to 47% in the previous year.                          
Inventory levels were well-managed during the year, reinforcing the strength    
of relationships built with suppliers over many years. The benefits of          
restructuring and the consolidation of back-office functions, while             
maintaining the front-line skills required for sustainable growth, will         
enhance performance as economic conditions improve.                             
In the UK, with the long-term dealer agreement with Nissan forklifts            
concluded in February 2008, the business now covers more than 50% of the        
market. Management focused on restructuring operations to reposition the        
flagship Nissan brand. The results of this focus are evident in a profitable    
performance for the year, despite declines of 36% in forklift sales.            
DIVIDEND POLICY                                                                 
As a result of the poor trading environment, results for the year and high      
gearing, Eqstra is proposing not to declare a dividend this year.               
OUTLOOK                                                                         
For a company that listed at the peak of the market, particularly a geared      
company such as Eqstra, the economic events of the past year might have         
proved disastrous. Eqstra has proved its resilience in arguably the worst       
market conditions in decades, emerging with a keener understanding of its       
businesses, markets and embedded strengths.                                     
We believe that the fallout of the global crisis will be felt in the southern   
African economy for months to come. Realistically we do not expect a "V-        
shape" recovery in the economy and have positioned Eqstra by entering new       
markets i.e. coal, renegotiating banking covenants and cutting costs to         
operate in an environment where liquidity, growth and margins will be under     
pressure.                                                                       
Notwithstanding the foreseeable challenges, we anticipate that the business     
will again deliver real earnings growth for the next financial year.
