(1) Fundamental net income and earnings per share is GAAP net (loss) income and 
(loss) earnings per share excluding the amortization of acquisition-related     
intangible assets, net of deferred taxes, transaction-related costs and stock-  
based compensation charges. In addition, the calculation of fundamental net     
income and earnings per share for 3Q 2011 and F2011 also excludes an impairment 
loss, net of deferred taxes, and amortization of facility fees related to the   
KSNET acquisition.                                                              
The following factors impacted the comparability of our 3Q 2011 and 3Q 2010     
results:                                                                        
    -    Impairment loss related to Net1 UTA customer relationships: The        
    Company recorded an impairment loss of $41.8 million related to Net1 UTA`s  
    customer relationships, which resulted in an operating loss for the         
quarter. The Company also reversed a deferred tax liability of $10.4        
    million associated with these customer relationships. As a result, the      
    Company`s reported net income was reduced by $31.3 million;                 
    -    SASSA price and volume reductions: The Company`s contract with SASSA   
has reduced its revenue and operating income, before impairment loss,  
         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 7% compared to the ZAR during the third quarter of fiscal    
2011 compared to fiscal 2010 which positively impacted the Company`s        
    reported results;                                                           
    -    Increased revenue from KSNET at lower operating margins than the       
    Company`s legacy businesses, before acquired intangible asset amortization: 
The KSNET acquisition increased the Company`s revenue during the entire     
    third quarter of fiscal 2011, however, because KSNET has an operating       
    margin that is lower than the Company`s legacy businesses, before acquired  
    intangible asset amortization, it reduced the Company`s overall 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: Reported results were        
favorably impacted by increased transaction volumes at EasyPay resulting    
    from growth in value-added services;                                        
    -    Lower revenue and operating loss generated by MediKredit: MediKredit`s 
    revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was lower than the comparable  
period due to the inclusion in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 of claims   
    processing support fees received from a customer it lost in late calendar   
    2009 and which contractually continued to pay fees through the end of April 
    2010. MediKredit generated an operating loss during the third quarter of    
fiscal 2011, in line with the Company`s expectations;                       
    -    Increased revenue from FIHRST at lower operating margins than other SA 
    transaction-based activity business: FIHRST increased the Company`s revenue 
    during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, however, because FIHRST has an     
operating margin that is lower than the Company`s other SA transaction-     
    based activity businesses, it negatively impacted the Company`s overall     
    operating margin. The inclusion of FIHRST in the Company`s results has also 
    contributed to the increase in selling, general and administration expense; 
-    Increased user adoption in Iraq: The Company recorded increased        
    transaction revenues at NUETS from the adoption of the Company`s UEPS       
    technology in Iraq;                                                         
    -    Lower revenues and margins from hardware, software and related         
technology sales segment: The hardware, software and related technology     
    sales segment was adversely impacted by lower revenues at NUETS, partially  
    offset by increased sales by Net1 UTA;                                      
    -    Intangible asset amortization related to acquisitions: Reported        
results were adversely impacted by additional intangible asset amortization 
    of approximately $3.1 million related to the acquisition of KSNET in the    
    second quarter of fiscal 2011, as well as FIHRST during the third quarter   
    of fiscal 2010;                                                             
-    Lower interest income and increased interest expense resulting from    
    KSNET acquisition: 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                      
    -    Non-recurring items included in selling, general and administration    
    expense: During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company incurred      
    transaction-related expenses of $0.5 million, primarily for the acquisition 
of KSNET.                                                                   
Comments and Outlook                                                            
"Our results for the  third quarter of fiscal 2011 represent the performance by 
our established businesses, namely pension and welfare, KSNET and EasyPay, which
were consistent with management`s expectations, as well as investments in Net1  
Virtual Card and MediKredit to drive accelerating growth in those businesses,"  
said Dr. Serge Belamant, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Net1. "We are  
disappointed though not surprised with the decision by one of Net1 UTA`s largest
customers to transition away from the DUET platform given our focus on          
transitioning to a transaction based revenue stream as opposed to the sale of   
hardware and software, which may not always be the preferred model by all       
customers. However, this customer decision together with uncertainty surrounding
the timing and quantum of Net1 UTA`s future net cash inflows, resulted in the   
evaluation and subsequent write down of its intangible assets related to        
customer relationships during 3Q11. We have taken actions to return Net1 UTA to 
at least break even in the near term and remain cautiously optimistic about its 
prospects given its pipeline of opportunities. In April 2011, SASSA issued its  
new long-term tender for the distribution of social grants in South Africa. Our 
current contract with SASSA currently continues through September 30, 2011, and 
as previously discussed, SASSA expects to conclude its evaluation process prior 
to that time," 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 $47.3 million, down 7% compared with
3Q 2010 in USD and 14% 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 FIHRST. Operating income margin of the Company`s SA transaction-   
based activities decreased to 39% from 53% 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, 3Q 2011 segment operating margin was 42%       
compared with 55% during 3Q 2010.                                               
   International transaction-based activities                                   
KSNET is the largest contributor to the international transaction-based         
activities segment. International transaction-based activities revenue was $24.6
million and segment operating margin was 3% in 3Q 2011. Excluding the           
amortization of intangibles but including the start up costs related to the     
launch of Virtual Card in the United States, segment operating margin was 16%.  
Smart card accounts                                                          
Smart card account revenue was $8.3 million, up 4% compared with 3Q 2010 in USD 
and 3% lower on a constant currency basis. Operating margin for the segment     
remained consistent at 45%.                                                     
Financial services                                                           
Financial services revenue was $2.2 million, up 89% compared with 3Q 2010 in USD
and 75% higher on a constant currency basis, principally due to an increase in  
lending activities. Operating margin for this segment increased to 78% from 72% 
in 3Q 2010 largely as a result of the increased lending activities.             
   Hardware, software and related technology sales                              
Hardware, software and related technology sales revenue was $10.4 million, down 
16% compared with 3Q 2010 in USD and 22% lower on a constant currency basis. The
decrease in revenue and operating income for 3Q 2011 was primarily due lower    
revenues generated by NUETS and other hardware businesses but partially offset  
by increased sales at Net1 UTA. Excluding amortization of all intangibles and   
the impairment loss, segment operating margin was (3)% compared to 5% during 3Q 
2010.                                                                           
   Cash flow and liquidity                                                      
At March 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $89 million,    
down from $154 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease in cash was due primarily 
to the use of approximately $124.3 million to fund a portion of the KSNET       
purchase price and the payment of STC of $14.7 million incurred related to      
dividends paid from South Africa to the United States connected with the KSNET  
transaction. For 3Q 2011, the Company generated net cash flow of $28.3 million  
for operating activities, compared to $31.7 million in 3Q 2010. The decrease in 
operating cash flow resulted mainly from the SASSA price and volume reductions  
which were effective July 1, 2010. Capital expenditures for 3Q 2011 and 2010    
were $4.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. During 3Q 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 (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share for 3Q 2011  
and 3Q 2010 include amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related costs
and stock-based compensation. In addition, GAAP net (loss) income and (loss)    
earnings per share for 3Q 2010 and F2011 includes an impairment loss and        
facility fee amortization related to the KSNET acquisition. 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 (loss) 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 (loss)    
income adjusted for impairment losses, net of taxes, and 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 (loss) income used to     
calculate earnings per share basic and diluted and HEPS basic and diluted.
