INTRODUCTION                                                                    
We are pleased to report that the Eqstra Group has returned to pre-tax          
profitability from a loss of R20 million at the interim period to a profit      
before tax of R100 million for the second half of the year.                     
The Group maintained leading commercial positions in the markets within which   
it operates. Management had no real expectations that the 2010 financial year   
would be without challenges. These included depressed sales, inclemental        
weather patterns and illegal industrial action. Strides were made to contain    
the impact of these challenges and secure new contracts.                        
OVERVIEW OF RESULTS                                                             
Profit before taxation reduced from R93 million in 2009 to R80 million.         
Losses                                                                          
after taxation amounted to R55 million compared to a profit after taxation of   
R45 million for the corresponding period. This is due to the impairment of      
deferred tax assets of R112 million.                                            
Revenue for the year decreased by 12.0% from R7 889 million to R6 939           
million                                                                         
mainly as a result of significantly reduced sales from our Construction and     
Mining Equipment Distributorships division. Revenue for the second half of      
the                                                                             
year was marginally lower by R75 million than that of the interim period as     
the                                                                             
market stabilised post the global crisis.                                       
Operating profit decreased by 23.9% from R943 million to R718 million. This     
occurred mainly in the Construction and Mining divisions as a result of low     
asset utilisation and reduced gross profit margins.                             
Basic and headline loss per share at 30 June 2010 was 19.6 cents and 21.7       
cents respectively, which is lower than the comparable basic earnings of 15.1   
cents per share and headline earnings of 10.9 cents per share. The 2009         
earnings per share and headline earnings per share have been restated for the   
effects of the rights issue.                                                    
Interest cover as at 30 June 2010 is 3.6 times, an improvement from 3.2         
times                                                                           
at 30 June 2009. Interest cover for the second half of the year was 3.9         
times.                                                                          
Total assets reduced by R571 million to R9 662 million mainly due to a          
reduction in leasing assets of 5.6% to R6 740 million and inventories by        
29.9%                                                                           
to R1 130 million.                                                              
Debt reduced by R1 214 million to R5 516 million as a result of the rights      
issue and reduced working capital. The proceeds of the rights issue of R650     
million was utilised to reduce short term debt and R250 million is reserved     
for                                                                             
the capitalisation of the Benga coal project in Mozambique. The decreased       
debt and lower interest rates resulted in net finance costs decreasing by       
20.3% from R795 million to R634 million. The group`s commercial paper           
issuance continues with R569 million in issue at 30 June 2010 supported by a    
standby liquidity facility of R1 950 million. In November 2009 Eqstra           
successfully issued a five year inflation-linked bond of R270 million that      
was used to repay existing funders.                                             
Capital adequacy improved from 17.8% to 24.6% post the rights issue and         
18.6%                                                                           
excluding the effects of the rights issue.                                      
Cash generated by operations increased by 37.6% from R2 096 million to R2       
884                                                                             
million through focused management of working capital.

The Contract Mining and Plant Rental division has implemented a number of       
strategies which bode well for a turnaround in the year ahead. These include    
the continued diversification of the division`s historical focus on hard rock   
(largely platinum) mining to other mining areas in particular coal,             
uninterrupted equipment maintenance programs, efficient equipment utilisation   
and a renewed focus on skills development.                                      
Revenue reduced marginally by 1.2% to R3 123 million as a result of the         
negative impact of the heavy rain during the year and the effects of illegal    
industrial actions. Leasing assets decreased by 1.8% to R3 061 million          
without                                                                         
compromising replacement capital expenditure. Whilst the plant rental           
business                                                                        
unit benefited from the scarcity of accessible funding and pre-World Cup        
infrastructure spend, with many customers electing to rent rather than          
purchase                                                                        
heavy equipment, uncertainty exists in the market with respect to future        
capital projects. Contract mining faces the challenge to improve utilisation    
of                                                                              
equipment, improve production output from existing contracts and contain        
costs.                                                                          
As a consequence of the developments of the CoAL of Africa Vele project,        
Eqstra has stalled the ramp up of the project and is considering alternatives   
for the utilisation of equipment already deployed while awaiting regulatory     
clarity.

Bucyrus Mining, Terex and New Holland Construction suffered from lack of        
demand in depressed mining and civil construction markets resulting in the      
division incurring losses before taxation.                                      
Revenue declined by 45.1% from R1 969 million to R1 080 million. Exposure to    
the diamond and platinum industries remains a risk for this division as these   
industries continue to be cautious about production levels. This resulted in    
an                                                                              
operating loss of R116 million. Revenue has increased marginally by R20         
million                                                                         
from R530 million to R550 million compared to the interim period of this        
financial year. Efforts to reduce operating costs have had a positive effect    
as                                                                              
operating losses were R27 million in the second half compared to R89 million    
for the interim period.                                                         
Through focused working capital management, inventories reduced by R495         
million                                                                         
to R771 million from R1 266 million. Bank financing and market activity for     
capital equipment is improving. The division will continue concentrating on     
reducing inventory and costs and target sales without compromising margin.

The Passenger and Commercial Vehicles division performed well on the back of    
its annuity revenue model and the expansion of its fleet management products.   
Coupled with stringent working capital management and cost cutting exercises    
the                                                                             
division has maintained solid operating margins and negative working capital.   
Revenue decreased marginally by R25 million from R1 847 million to R1 822       
million mainly as a result of the decrease in the prime interest rate.          
Leasing assets decreased by 7.0% from R2 760 million to R2 567 million on the   
back of a strategy to improve returns.                                          
The division is well positioned for organic and incremental growth of capital   
and value added solutions.

The Industrial Equipment division managed to maintain operating profit and      
return healthy operating margin through the annuity nature of the leasing and   
after-market services in a tough and competitive environment. It further        
benefited from a back-office rationalisation to improve efficiencies and        
reduce                                                                          
costs. The division has however, seen a recovery in the second half and is      
strongly positioned to grow market share and expand the after-sales component   
of revenue in the year ahead.                                                   
The division`s revenue decreased by 10.5% from R1 503 million to R1 345         
million                                                                         
mainly due to the decrease in rental fleet and sale of goods. Operating         
profit decreased marginally by 3.1% to R185 million as a result of lower        
revenue                                                                         
offset by a decrease of 11.7% in operating costs to R868 million.               
Leasing assets decreased by 10.7% to R1 096 million due to the defleeting of    
the short term rental fleet to improve yield management and increased cash      
sales due to bank financing appetite returning.                                 
DIVIDEND                                                                        
As a result of the poor trading conditions and results for the year, the        
board of Eqstra recommends that no dividend be paid for the year under          
review.                                                                         
OUTLOOK                                                                         
While uncertainty remains regarding the outlook for the global economy and      
the expected recovery of the construction and mining industries in the year     
ahead, we believe that Eqstra is poised to reap the benefits of the decisive    
actions taken by management over the past two years.
