SPG                                                                             
SPG - Super Group - Reviewed Results For The Year Ended 30 June 2009            
Super Group Limited                                                             
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)                                  
Registration number 1943/016107/06                                              
ISIN: ZAE000011334                                                              
Share code: SPG                                                                 
("Super Group" or "the Group")                                                  
Reviewed results for the year ended 30 June 2009                                
Overview                                                                        
The year under review was characterised by extraordinary economic and business  
challenges for Super Group. Amongst the many issues faced by the Group were     
tough trading conditions, major managerial and operational changes, business    
disposals as well as the implementation of a restructuring plan aimed at        
streamlining Super Group back to its core businesses and competencies.          
The financial consequences of the poor operational performance and subsequent   
restructuring of the Group have significantly impacted the financial results for
the year ended 30 June 2009. Significant fair value provisions related to the   
non-core businesses had to be made to bring their carrying values in line with  
market related values and the Group incurred once-off costs associated with     
rationalising and consolidating certain support functions.                      
The trading losses from discontinued operations and the once-off and exceptional
costs referred to above, have resulted in a financial performance significantly 
below that recorded last year. However, continuing operations are trading       
profitably. Super Group`s recapitalisation process will put the Group on a firm 
financial footing.                                                              
Financial results                                                               
Revenue generated by continuing operations reduced by 8,4% from R7,8 billion in 
2008 to R7,1 billion, mainly as a result of certain low margin contracts not    
renewed within the Supply Chain South Africa operations during 2008 and a weaker
sales performance by the Dealership business. Total revenue for the Group       
decreased by 9,2% from R12,4 billion to R11,3 billion as the slowdown in        
economic activities and stricter bank lending criteria impacted all of the      
Group`s businesses.                                                             
Trading profit from continuing operations decreased by 17,8% to R604,7 million  
from R735,2 million in 2008, which resulted in the trading profit margin for    
these operations dropping from 9,4% to 8,5%. The drop in the trading profit and 
margin is largely attributable to lower sales volumes across the sectors in     
which the Group operates as well as the effect of restructuring and severance   
costs. In addition, the strengthening of the rand resulted in lower translated  
earnings from foreign operations. The total trading loss for the Group amounted 
to R169,7 million for the year ended 30 June 2009 compared to a trading profit  
of R581,7 million for the corresponding prior period. The significant trading   
loss reported by the discontinued operations is largely attributable to closure 
costs, working capital impairments, provision for onerous leases, unusually     
large claims received by Emerald Insurance (Pty) Limited and slower consumer    
spending in the retail businesses.                                              
An operating profit from continuing operations of R473,8 million and an         
operating loss from discontinued operations of R1,2 billion, resulted in a total
operating loss for the Group of R741,7 million compared to an operating profit  
for 2008 of R523,2 million. The difference between trading profit and operating 
profit is due to the once-off and exceptional capital items. The most           
significant capital items relate to non-current asset impairments for property, 
plant and equipment, intangible assets, foreign investments and fair value      
adjustments after taking into account expected proceeds from disposals compared 
to their carrying values.                                                       
Net finance charges for continuing operations increased by 22% to R431,1 million
from R353,4 million in 2008. The increase is largely attributable to the adverse
mark-to-market fair value adjustments related to interest rate swaps of R47,9   
million compared to a positive amount of R16,8 million for 2008.                
Losses attributable to equity holders of the Group increased from 4,5 cents per 
share in 2008 to 296,1 cents per share for 2009. Earnings from continuing       
operations dropped from 69,7 cents per share reported in 2008 to 6,4 cents per  
share for the year ended 30 June 2009. Headline earnings per share amounted to  
11,9 cents in 2008 compared to the headline loss for 2009 of 170,9 cents per    
share. Headline earnings per share from continuing operations have declined from
82,3 cents to 35,0 cents.                                                       
The cash generated from operations together with the proceeds of the rights     
issue reduced debt by R769 million mainly through the repayment of full         
maintenance lease borrowings and short-term bridging debt.                      
The Group converted its operating results into cash of R1 089 million before    
working capital movements. A strong focus on working capital management resulted
in a R100 million reduction in working capital levels.                          
Divisional overview of continuing operations                                    
Supply Chain Division                                                           
The Supply Chain Division performed well and will constitute the core business  
of Super Group in the future. Total revenue for this division decreased by 4,2% 
to R2,754 billion (2008: R2,875 billion) mainly as a result of certain low      
margin contracts not being renewed in 2008. The trading profit of the Supply    
Chain Division dropped by 14,2% to R313,4 million from R365,3 million in 2008.  
The South African business, despite the loss of certain low margin contracts in 
2008, produced an overall satisfactory performance. The automotive business had 
a good year despite the industry being impacted by lower vehicle sales. The FMCG
business experienced a marked decline in volumes as a result of the overall     
economic environment. Substantially reduced overheads achieved by amalgamating  
divisional functionalities have helped to offset the business performance of    
FMCG.                                                                           
Hala Supply Chain Company (Hala) was established to distribute post boxes and   
RFID tags throughout Saudi on behalf of Saudi Post. Super Group has a 33% stake 
in Hala. An impairment of R67 million was raised against Hala as a result of    
difficulties with collections of amounts due from Saudi Post. This impairment   
resulted in an adverse movement on the division`s operating profit compared to  
the prior year.                                                                 
The African Logistics business reported an impressive revenue growth of 56,6%.  
Significantly improved volumes from the mining industry together with additional
aid programmes in the first half of the year produced excellent results.        
Softening commodity prices, which resulted in a significant decrease in mining  
activity, as well as a decline in aid programmes in the second half of the year,
did moderate the overall results. Benefits derived from the improvement in cost 
structures, especially in Malawi and Zambia, were off-set by the strengthening  
of the rand. Trading profit increased by a satisfactory 24,9%, over 2008.       
Automotive Division - Dealerships                                               
Continued deterioration in the vehicle market resulted in the Dealership        
business reporting a drop in revenue of 22,5% to                                
R2,629 billion (2008: R3,390 billion). Despite the tough trading conditions, the
business outperformed the market in the second half of the current year. Closure
costs and early lease termination costs of R11,5 million were incurred as a     
result of the closure of underperforming dealerships and contributed to a       
decline in trading profit for the year of 91,6% to R4,5million (2008: R53,4     
million). Major cost cutting initiatives in areas such as headcount (reduction  
of 16%), demonstration vehicles and other significant variable costs have been  
implemented. The executive team has been restructured to optimise personnel as  
well as expertise, thereby further reducing the overhead structure. The entire  
division has undergone additional streamlining to ensure that continuing        
dealerships are well placed to generate positive results in the new financial   
year.                                                                           
Fleet Solutions Division                                                        
The Fleet Solutions Division reported revenue growth of 14,1% to R1,743 billion 
from R1,527 billion, translating into the trading profit increasing marginally  
to R300,5 million for 2009 compared to R299,6 million in 2008.                  
The FleetAfrica business, under new management since November 2008, embarked on 
an extensive restructuring and cost saving initiatives. Increases in            
depreciation have resulted in significantly reduced residual value risk in the  
business.  An improved vehicle disposal strategy was implemented during the year
which resulted in improved disposal realisations. Revenue increased by 8,5% from
R953,2 million in 2008 to R1 034,4 million in 2009. Trading profit was also     
marginally up by 0,5% to R206,6 million from R205,6 million reported in 2008.   
The Eastern Cape Provincial Government contract has been extended to the end of 
January 2010.                                                                   
The sgfleet business in Australia had a successful year which included the      
renewal of several customer contracts as well as being awarded a large          
Australian State Government contract. The business secured a new off-balance    
sheet funding structure for its UK subsidiary. The business reported revenue of 
R708,2 million, an increase of 23,5% from R573,4 million posted in 2008. Trading
profit remained constant at approximately R93,9 million, predominantly due to   
the adoption of a more conservative approach to residual value provisioning. The
business was able to gain market share during the year despite economic         
challenges such as increased fuel prices in the first half of the year and the  
decline in mining activity since November 2008.                                 
Divisional overview of discontinued operations                                  
Retail Supply Chain Division                                                    
This division, which includes AutoZone and Mica, delivered extremely            
disappointing results. The division`s overall performance saw revenue decreasing
by 5,8% to R2,569 billion (2008: R2,727 billion) and trading profit dropping    
from                                                                            
R135,0 million in 2008 to a trading loss of R219,6 million in the current year. 
AutoZone`s revenue increased by 5,2% from R1,650 billion to                     
R1,735 billion. However, as a result of a competitive trading environment,      
margin pressure translated into a reduction of trading profit of approximately  
R21 million. Once-off restructuring costs, an increase in depreciation and the  
stronger rand further impacted results. The closure of SABEX, the ABS brake     
business, resulted in a trading loss of R8 million. All these factors           
contributed to the trading profit decreasing by 79,3% from R84,6 million in 2008
to R17,5 million in 2009. A fair value provision of R129 million was raised on  
discontinuance of the business.                                                 
Mica was severely impacted by the demise of the drop-shipment model, which,     
under the poor market conditions resulted in member purchasing loyalty reaching 
an all time low, as well as the widely reported downturn in the residential     
property market. In addition, Mica faced significant managerial and operational 
challenges. As a result, revenue decreased by 22,6% to R833,5 million (2008: R1 
076,7 million) and trading profit dropped to a loss position of R237,1 million  
from a profit of R50,4 million in 2008. The operational challenges faced by Mica
included significant losses from associates, high finance costs, onerous leases 
for closed businesses, increased bad debt and redundant inventory provisions and
stock losses, impairments of goodwill and trademarks as well as restructuring   
and closure costs. Impairments of R154 million were raised on the discontinuance
of the business.                                                                
Automotive Division - Super Group Industrial Products (SGIP)                    
As previously reported, a decision was taken in mid December 2008 to dispose of 
the businesses within SGIP. The businesses being disposed of include Powerstar, 
Herman`s Truck Accident Repairs and MMS Cranes. As at 30 June 2009 both Herman`s
and MMS Cranes had been sold. Operations were consolidated and certain functions
centralised to further reduce overhead costs. Revenue generated by SGIP for the 
year ended 30 June 2009 was down 40,1% to R872,0 million compared to the        
previous year with a reported trading loss of R456,5 million. A fair value      
provision of R145 million was raised on the discontinuance of the business.     
Corporate actions and post balance sheet events                                 
During July and September 2009, the Group issued a number of cautionary         
announcements pertaining to the following transactions:                         
Recapitalisation of the Group                                                   
On 30 July 2009 shareholders were informed that restructuring agreements between
Super Group and its funders setting out the key terms of the equity             
recapitalisation and debt restructuring had been signed. Super Group may now    
proceed to prepare for the proposed rights offer of 41 new rights offer shares  
for every 10 Super Group ordinary shares held at the close of business on the   
record date. Further details regarding the proposed rights offer, the terms of  
the proposed restructuring, salient dates and processes to be followed would be 
included in a rights offer circular and released on SENS.                       
Alternative Recapitalisation Proposal                                           
During the finalisation of the proposed rights offer, Super Group was approached
by a strategic investor, regarding an alternative recapitalisation proposal     
pursuant to which the investor would become the controlling shareholder of the  
Group. The alternative recapitalisation proposal contemplates an inter-         
conditional issue of shares for cash, a claw back offer and a loan as set out in
the SENS announcement dated 30 July 2009.                                       
Shareholders are advised that discussions with the investor are still ongoing.  
Should an agreement between the parties be reached, a further detailed          
announcement would be released on SENS and published in the press.              
Disposal of Emerald Insurance                                                   
An offer by Santam Limited for Emerald Insurance Company Limited for a total    
consideration equal to the tangible net asset value at the effective date,      
estimated at R100 million as set out in detail in the SENS announcement dated 10
July 2009, has been accepted. The conditions precedent are approvals by         
shareholders, the Registrar of Short Term Insurance, JSE Limited, Securities    
Regulation Panel and Competition Commission. A circular providing information on
the transaction will be posted to shareholders in due course.                   
Disposal of AutoZone                                                            
An offer by RMB Corvest for a total consideration of R435 million, of which R35 
million is deferred, was accepted subject to the approval by Super Group        
shareholders and the Competition Commission. A circular providing information on
the transaction will be posted to shareholders in due course.                   
Disposal of Mica                                                                
The sale of Mica is being completed through various transactions. The Mica brand
and certain Mica stores are being sold to various third parties.                
Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement released on 4 September 2009 
setting out the disposal of three corporate stores to Builder`s Express, a      
subsidiary of Massmart. The transaction is a Category 2 transaction in terms of 
the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and no shareholder approval is required.  
Disposal of Powerstar                                                           
Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement released on 10 September 2009
setting out the disposal of the Equipment and Commercial Vehicle businesses     
housed in SGIP. A business co-operation agreement has been reached with China   
North Vehicle Corporation Limited (Norinco) to form a new  Vehicle Assembly and 
Distribution Entity (CVADE). China Construction Bank (Johannesburg Branch) has  
agreed to provide bridging finance to CVADE. The transaction is a Category 1    
transaction in terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and a circular    
providing information on the transaction will be posted to shareholders in due  
course.                                                                         
Prospects                                                                       
Super Group has implemented an intensive restructuring strategy which is set to 
continue into 2010. The strategy is primarily focused on the recapitalisation of
the Group and the implementation of the realigned business strategy. The        
proposed recapitalisation of the Group together with the debt restructuring     
package will ease liquidity pressure and create the financial scope to allow the
implementation of a value-maximising strategy.                                  
Further focus areas include the recovery and growth effort within Super Group`s 
area of core competence being supply chain and maximising value from medium-term
disposal opportunities. Tough economic trading conditions are expected to       
prevail in the year ahead and all indications are that consumer spending will   
remain under pressure as a result of local and global economic conditions.      
Despite the prevailing economic environment, the Group`s core businesses are    
expected to show improved profitability and with the initiatives already being  
implemented across the Group, Super Group is positioned to improve market share.
