INTRODUCTION                                                                    
The second half of the 2009 calendar year saw many companies still struggling   
through the effects of the recession and global economic fallout. As a result,  
Eqstra`s first half of its 2010 financial year proved to be extremely           
challenging. We envisage South Africa`s economic growth to remain fragile in    
2010 with its growth outlook depending critically on the developments in the    
local economy. We do believe that Eqstra is well positioned to navigate through 
this economic climate as we maintain our ability to move into new markets,      
flexibly switch between capital intensive activities limiting capital           
expenditure and protect revenue streams through our comprehensive after-market  
services.                                                                       
OVERVIEW OF RESULTS                                                             
Due to the decline in the economy and the effect that it has had on the group,  
we have included comparative figures for the second half of the 2009 financial  
year to facilitate more meaningful comparison between half year periods.        
At the 30 June 2009 year end results announcement we indicated that we did not  
expect a "V-shape" recovery given the effects of depressed commodities prices,  
slowing economic growth, inclement weather and stricter criteria by banks for   
financing capital equipment. Losses after taxation amounted to R58 million      
compared to a profit after taxation of R224 million for the corresponding       
period. Although Eqstra incurred a loss to December 2009, this is a significant 
improvement from the loss after taxation of R179 million incurred in the second 
half of the 2009 financial year.                                                
- Basic losses and headline losses per share at 31 December 2009 were 22.4 cents
and 23.3 cents per share respectively, which is lower than the comparable basic 
earnings of 86.4 cents per share and basic headline earnings of 85.9 cents per  
share. This is an improvement from the second half of 2009 that showed a basic  
loss and headline loss per share of 69.8 cents per share and 73.9 cents per     
share respectively.                                                             
- Revenue for the period decreased by 20.5% from R4 412 million to R3 507       
million mainly as a result of reduced revenue from the Construction and Mining  
divisions. Revenue increased by 0.9% compared to the second half of 2009.       
- Operating profit decreased by 58.4% from R735 million to R306 million due to  
the reduced revenue and increased depreciation charges. This reduction was      
offset by a reduction of 16.8% in operating expenses from R2 899 million to R2  
411 million. This resulted in EBITDA to revenue decreasing from 34.3% to 31.3%. 
Operating profit increased by 47.1% to R306 million from R208 million in the    
second half of the 2009 financial year. This can be attributed to the reduction 
in operating costs of 4.1% and the increase in revenue of 0.9% compared to the  
second half of 2009.                                                            
- Total assets have reduced by R272 million to R9 961 million as expansion      
capital expenditure has been curtailed and inventories reduced.                 
- Debt levels reduced by R186 million to R6 544 million. The decreased debt and 
lower interest rates resulted in net finance costs decreasing by 18.2% from R407
million to R333 million. The group`s commercial paper issuance continues        
successfully with R1 379 million in issue at 31 December 2009 supported by a    
standby liquidity facility of R1 950 million that has an 18-month rolling       
period. In November 2009 Eqstra successfully issued a five year inflation-linked
bond of R270 million that was used to repay existing funders.                   
- Cash generated by operations increased by 108.9% from R652 million to R1 362  
million as a result of focused management of working capital throughout the     
period. Net capital expenditure decreased by R669 million to R855 million.      
- Interest cover for the period was 3.3 times which is an improvement from 3.2  
times at the year end and 2.4 times cover for the second half of the 2009       
financial year. Capital adequacy improved marginally to 18.0% from 17.8% at the 
June 2009 year end. Eqstra has met all debt covenants.                          
- The taxation charge to the income statement had a negative impact on the after
tax loss as deferred tax assets in the Construction and Mining: Distributorships
division have not been recognised for the current period.

Revenue reduced by 10.3% to R1 588 million as a result of lower utilisation of  
equipment, illegal industrial actions and delays in the commencement of awarded 
contracts. This reduction in revenue led to a reduction of 64.4% in profit      
before taxation to R64 million. This reduced profit was offset by a reduction in
operating costs and net finance costs of 7.5% and 13.9% respectively. Revenue   
improved however by 14.1% compared to the second half of 2009. This contributed 
to an improvement in operating profit by 86.5% from R104 million to R194        
million.                                                                        
Leasing assets increased by 1.8% to R3 173 million as a result of committed     
expansion capital expenditure of R301 million for anticipated contracts.        
The plant rental division continues to benefit from the current scarcity of     
accessible funding, with many customers electing to rent rather than purchase   
heavy equipment. The contract mining division faces the challenge improving     
utilisation of equipment, improving production output from existing contracts   
and containing costs. The prospects of this division will improve as coal       
contracts previously secured, such as Coal of Africa`s Vele project, are        
expected to commence in the next 6 to 12 months.

The division`s performance for the half year was severely affected by the       
economic downturn as construction and mining equipment sales declined by 63.0%  
from R1 434 million to R530 million. An operating loss of R89 million was       
incurred as a result of the lower revenue. Revenue has decreased marginally by  
0.9% from R535 million to R530 million compared to the second half of the 2009  
financial year. Efforts to reduce operating costs have had a positive effect as 
operating losses were R50 million lower compared to the second half of the 2009 
financial year.                                                                 
Through focused working capital management, inventory and debtors reduced by    
R247 million to R1 281 million which was offset by creditors reducing by R32    
million to R283 million.                                                        
The inability of clients to secure finance for their capital equipment and the  
53% decline in the market for this division`s product will remain a risk. 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 diamond mining.

The financial performance of this division remained stable. Revenue increased   
marginally from R907 million to R911 million. Operating profit however,         
decreased by 17.5% to R160 million resulting from the conclusion of the         
government contract in the previous period. This division has noticed a general 
trend towards leasing as most companies remain cautious about capital           
expenditure.                                                                    
Leasing assets decreased by 2.5% from R2 760 million to R2 691 million despite  
the addition of expansionary capital expenditure for major clients of R137      
million.                                                                        
The division has proved its robustness and sustainability in these tough trading
conditions.

The division`s revenue decreased by 12.9% from R752 million to R655 million as  
the market reduced by 47%. Operating profit decreased by 25.2% to R80 million as
a result of lower revenue offset by a decrease of 10.9% in operating costs to   
R424 million. Efforts to reduce operating costs had the desired effect as       
operating profit decreased marginally by R4 million compared to the second half 
of the 2009 financial year.                                                     
In the United Kingdom, operating profit decreased by 52.9% from R17 million to  
R8 million which is indicative of the tough economic environment in that country
and resulted in a break even before tax.                                        
Leasing assets decreased by 7.6% to R1 134 million due to an increase in        
outright sales during the period.                                               
The benefits of restructuring and the consolidation of back-office functions in 
the previous financial year, while maintaining the front-line skills required   
for sustainable growth, continue to have the desired impact on financial        
performance.                                                                    
DIVIDEND DECLARATION                                                            
Because of the results, Eqstra is not proposing to declare an interim dividend. 
RIGHTS ISSUE                                                                    
In view of the current trading conditions, the Board is considering a rights    
issue of probably not more than R450 million. This will strengthen the balance  
sheet in preparation of refinancing long term debt and ensure sufficient        
headroom to meet future debt covenants. The final decision and amount is        
dependent on the outcomes of management initiatives underway.                   
OUTLOOK                                                                         
The year to June 2010 will remain a challenge for Eqstra as the economy is seen 
to be sluggish and it is anticipated that the company will not achieve growth in
earnings as announced in August 2009. Eqstra will continue to concentrate on    
working capital management, costs and cash flow.

(1) Basis of preparation                                                        
This unaudited financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
- Interim Financial Reporting.                                                  
The external auditors have not reviewed the financial results for the six months
ended 31 December 2009.                                                         
(2) Accounting policies                                                         
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in preparation of the
unaudited financial statements are consistent with those of the annual financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2009.                                     
The group adopted the following new standards, amendments and circulars for the 
six months ended 31 December 2009:                                              
- The revised IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements was issued, requiring
certain changes to existing disclosures as well as the introduction of the      
Statement of Comprehensive Income. These changes had no effect on the financial 
position or results of the group.                                               
- IFRS 8 - Operating Segments replaced IAS 14 - Segment Reporting. All segments 
are now presented on the same basis as for internal management reporting        
purposes.                                                                       
- The amendment to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment which states that an  
entity that, in the course of its ordinary activities, routinely sells items of 
property, plant and equipment that it has held for rental to others shall       
transfer such assets to inventories at their carrying amount when they cease to 
be rented and become held for sale. The proceeds from the sale of such assets   
shall be recognised as revenue in the accordance with IAS 18 - Revenue.         
- Circular 3/2009 - Headline Earnings was issued by the South African Institute 
of Chartered Accountants. The circular was changed to incorporate the latest    
amendments and revisions to IFRS. The circular is effective for the periods     
under review but had no material effect on the group.
