(1) Fundamental net income and earnings per share is GAAP net income and        
earnings per share excluding the amortization of acquisition-related            
intangible assets, net of deferred taxes, and stock-based compensation          
charges. In addition, the calculation of fundamental net income and earnings    
per share for 2Q 2011 also excludes transaction-related costs and an            
unrealized foreign exchange gain (related to foreign exchange contracts         
entered into in order to hedge the fluctuations in the ZAR/ US dollar           
related to the anticipated flow of funds from South Africa to the United        
States to fund a portion of the KSNET ("KSNET") purchase price).                
The following factors had an influence on the comparability of our 2Q 2011      
and 2Q 2010 results:                                                            
SASSA price and volume reductions: The Company`s new contract with SASSA has    
reduced its revenue and operating income as a result of the previously          
announced price and volume reductions;                                          
Favorable impact from the weakness of the US dollar: The US dollar              
depreciated by 8% compared to the ZAR during the second quarter of fiscal       
2011 compared to fiscal 2010 which has had a positive impact on the Company     
reported results;                                                               
Increased revenue from KSNET at lower operating margins, before acquired        
intangible asset amortization, than the Company`s legacy business: The          
Company`s KSNET acquisition in October 2010 positively impacted its revenue     
during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, however, because KSNET has an         
operating margin, before acquired intangible asset amortization, that is        
lower than the Company`s legacy businesses, it negatively impacted its          
operating margin. The inclusion of KSNET in the Company`s results has also      
contributed to the increase in selling, general and administration and          
depreciation and amortization expenses;                                         
Increased transaction volumes at EasyPay: The Company`s reported results        
were favorably impacted by increased transaction volumes at EasyPay             
resulting from growth in value-added services;                                  
Increased revenue from MediKredit and FIRHST at lower operating margins than    
other SA transaction-based activity business: The Company`s MediKredit and      
FIHRST acquisitions positively impacted its revenue during the second           
quarter of fiscal 2011, however, because MediKredit generated a modest          
operating loss and FIHRST has operating margin that is lower than the           
Company`s other transaction-based activity businesses, they negatively          
impacted its operating margin. The inclusion of these businesses in the         
Company`s results has also contributed to the increase in selling, general      
and administration expense;                                                     
Increased user adoption in Iraq: The Company`s reported results were            
positively impacted by increased transaction revenues at NUETS from the         
adoption of its UEPS technology in Iraq;                                        
Lower revenues and margins from hardware, software and related technology       
sales segment: The Company`s hardware, software and related technology sales    
segment was adversely impacted by lower revenues at Net1 UTA, offset by ad      
hoc hardware sales;                                                             
Intangible asset amortization related to acquisitions: The Company`s            
reported results were adversely impacted by additional intangible asset         
amortization of approximately $2.0 million related to the acquisitions of       
KSNET in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, as well as MediKredit and FIHRST    
during the third quarter of fiscal 2010;                                        
Lower interest income and increased interest expense resulting from KSNET       
acquisition: The Company`s reported results were adversely impacted by lower    
interest income due to the payment of a portion of the KSNET purchase price     
in cash and increased interest expense due to the payment of a portion of       
the KSNET purchase price utilizing long-term debt and facility fees of          
approximately $1.7 million; and                                                 
Non-recurring items included in selling, general and administration expense:    
During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we recognized an unrealized           
foreign exchange gain of $2.7 million and incurred transaction-related          
expenses of $1.8 million, primarily for the acquisition of KSNET.               
Comments and Outlook                                                            
"The second quarter of fiscal 2011 was a transformational quarter for us        
with the closing of our KSNET acquisition, which diversifies our revenue,       
earnings and product portfolio, as well as reduces Net1`s dependency on any     
one single economy, currency or political jurisdiction. Our revenue and         
profitability in 2Q 2011 continued to be negatively impacted by the             
previously announced reduction in the economics of our contract with SASSA,     
but offset by the inclusion of KSNET for two months of the quarter and          
sustained growth at EasyPay," said Dr. Serge Belamant, Chairman and Chief       
Executive Officer of Net1. "In January 2011 we extended our contract with       
SASSA for a period of six months to September 30, 2011, under the same terms    
and conditions of the existing contract. We expect SASSA to commence a new      
tender process for the distribution of social grants in South Africa in the     
near future, and remain well positioned to capitalize on our market leading     
solution, distribution and position. Separately, in 2Q 2011 KSNET`s             
performance was in-line with management`s expectations while Net1 made          
demonstrable progress in the deployment of our newer Virtual Card and           
EasyPay Kiosk initiatives," he concluded.                                       
"We remain comfortable with our Fundamental EPS guidance of at least $1.50      
on a constant currency basis for fiscal 2011. We continue to expect KSNET to    
be accretive to Fundamental EPS for fiscal 2011, but it is too soon to          
provide guidance on such level of accretion," said Herman Kotze, Chief          
Financial Officer of Net1.                                                      
Results of Operations                                                           
Net1`s frequently asked questions and operating metrics will be updated and     
posted on the Company`s website (www.net1.com).                                 
SA transaction-based activities                                                 
SA transaction-based activities revenue was $46.6 million, up 3% compared       
with 2Q 2010 in USD and 5% lower on a constant currency basis. In ZAR, the      
decrease in revenue was primarily due to the new SASSA contract at lower        
economics, which was partially offset by increased transaction volumes at       
EasyPay and the inclusion of MediKredit and FIHRST. Operating income margin     
of the Company`s SA transaction-based activities decreased to 40% from 59% a    
year ago. The decrease was primarily due to the lower revenues generated        
under the SASSA contract, additional intangible asset amortization related      
to the acquisition of MediKredit and FIHRST and lower margins at MediKredit     
and FIHRST compared with the Company`s legacy SA transaction-based              
activities. Excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, 2Q       
2011 segment operating margin was 43% compared with 61% during 2Q 2010.         
International transaction-based activities                                      
The Company`s new International transaction-based activities segment            
includes the operations of KSNET, Net1 Virtual Card and NUETS` operations in    
Iraq. International transaction-based activities revenue was $17 million and    
segment operating margin was 2%. Excluding the amortization of intangibles,     
segment operating margin was 14%. KSNET is the largest contributor to the       
segment and has been included in the Company`s results from November 1,         
2010.                                                                           
Smart card accounts                                                             
Smart card account revenue was $8.4 million, up 4% compared with 2Q 2010 in     
USD and 4% lower on a constant currency basis. Operating margin for the         
segment remained consistent at 45%.                                             
Financial services                                                              
Financial services revenue was $1.6 million, up 89% compared with 2Q 2010 in    
USD and 74% higher on a constant currency basis, principally due to an          
increase in lending activities. Operating margin for this segment increased     
to 76% from 64% in 2Q 2010 largely as a result of the increased lending         
activities.                                                                     
Hardware, software and related technology sales                                 
Hardware, software and related technology sales revenue was $15.4 million,      
down 21% compared with 2Q 2010 in USD and 27% lower on a constant currency      
basis. The decrease in revenue and operating income for 2Q 2011 was             
primarily due lower revenues generated by Net1 UTA, partially offset by ad      
hoc hardware sales. Excluding amortization of all intangibles and the           
impairment of goodwill, segment operating margin was 14% compared to 22%        
during 2Q 2010.                                                                 
Cash flow and liquidity                                                         
At December 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $71          
million, down from $154 million at June 30, 2010. For 2Q 2011, the Company      
utilized net cash of $8.1 million for operating activities, compared to         
generating operating cash flow of $13.8 million in 2Q 2010. The decrease in     
operating cash flow resulted mainly from the SASSA price and volume             
reductions which were effective July 1, 2010 and provisional tax and            
Secondary Taxation on Companies payments of $31 million in 2Q 2011, compared    
to provisional tax payments in 2Q 2010 of $16 million. Capital expenditures     
for 2Q 2011 and 2010 were $4.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively. On       
October 29, 2010, the Company paid approximately $240 million to acquire        
KSNET, which was funded from $124 million of the Company`s cash reserves and    
from $116 million in long-term borrowings. During 2Q 2011, the Company did      
not repurchase any shares under its $100 million authorization.                 
Use of Non-GAAP Measures                                                        
US securities laws require that when the Company publishes any non-GAAP         
measures, it discloses the reason for using the non-GAAP measure and            
provides reconciliation to the directly comparable GAAP measure. The            
presentation of fundamental net income and fundamental earnings per share       
and headline earnings per share are non-GAAP measures.                          
Fundamental net income and fundamental earnings per share                       
The Company`s GAAP net income and earnings per share for 2Q 2011 and 2Q 2010    
include amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation. In      
addition, GAAP net income and earnings per share for 2Q 2011 includes           
transaction-related costs and an unrealized foreign exchange gain described     
above. The Company excludes all of the above-mentioned amounts when             
calculating fundamental net income and earnings per share, because              
management believes that these adjustments enhance its own evaluation, as       
well as an investor`s understanding, of the Company`s financial performance.    
Attachment B presents the reconciliation between GAAP and fundamental net       
income and earnings per share.                                                  
Headline earnings per share ("HEPS")                                            
The inclusion of HEPS in this press release is a requirement of the             
Company`s listing on the JSE. HEPS basic and diluted is calculated using net    
income which has been determined based on GAAP. Accordingly, this may differ    
to the headline earnings per share calculation of other companies listed on     
the JSE as these companies may report their financial results under a           
different financial reporting framework, including but not limited to,          
International Financial Reporting Standards. HEPS basic and diluted is          
calculated as GAAP net income adjusted for the loss (profit) on sale of         
property, plant and equipment, net of related tax effects. Attachment C         
presents the reconciliation between the Company`s net income used to            
calculate earnings per share basic and diluted and HEPS basic and diluted.
