BASIS OF PREPARATION                                                            
These reviewed condensed consolidated interim results have been prepared in     
accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the South African         
Companies Act 1973 (Act 61 of 1973) as amended (`Act`) and the Listings         
Requirements of JSE Limited (`JSE`). The accounting policies have been          
consistently applied with those in the prior year.                              
ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                                             
The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the preparation of
these reviewed condensed consolidated interim results are consistent with those 
applied in the preparation of the group`s annual financial statements for the   
year ended 31 July 2010.                                                        
REVIEW OPINION                                                                  
The condensed consolidated interim results for the six months ended 31 January  
2011 have been reviewed by the group auditors, IAPA Johannesburg Chartered      
Accountants Inc. and their unmodified review report is available for inspection 
at the registered office of EOH.                                                
FINANCIAL RESULTS                                                               
The board of directors of EOH (`board`) is satisfied with the performance for   
the six months under review. The statement of financial position is strong with 
substantial cash resources to support future growth and sustainability. The     
board thanks its people, clients and technology partners for their contribution 
during the period under review. Revenue increased by 44,8% to R1 139,7 million  
and profit before tax is up by 49,5% to R109,1 million. The growth is           
attributable to a combination of both organic growth (66%) and recent           
acquisitions (34%). EPS and HEPS have grown significantly by 37,1% and 37,4%    
respectively with cash on hand of R228,4 million.                               
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS                                                           
During the period under review, EOH broadened its Business Process Outsourcing  
activities through the acquisition of the businesses of Elixir Group            
(Proprietary) Limited, Pinnacle Health Solutions (Proprietary) Limited and      
Compensation Technologies Holdings (Proprietary) Limited. It further expanded   
its services in the Microsoft infrastructure, applications and development space
with the acquisition of the business of Belay Solutions (Proprietary) Limited   
and its subsidiaries. Whilst these acquisitions collectively enhance EOH`s      
service offerings and contribute to its profitability, none of these            
acquisitions on their own were significant. The purchase price paid over and    
above the net asset value of these businesses amounting to R73 million has been 
taken to goodwill. Businesses acquired during the period under review are       
subject to profit warranties relating to periods ending after January 2012.
