OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
The year under review was a challenging one for the group. Significant
resources were spent on the upgrading of systems and on improving production
in all the service centres. The group continues to face both staffing and
information technology challenges at municipalities and anticipates that the
impact of the effort in the current year will be reflected in the results for
the year ahead. In addition, various initiatives were implemented to improve
the finalisation of offences at all service centres. These include SMS
campaigns, LPR (licence plate recognition) systems for roadblocks,
implementation of payment channels for all service centres and a significantly
redesigned website for viewing and payment of offences.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Revenue declined by 34% from the previous corresponding financial year. A
significant portion of this related to the City of Cape Town ("COCT") contract
which came to an end in December 2010. Revenues from the Ekurhuleni contract
and the newer smaller contracts of Cederberg and Overstrand were insufficient
to offset the decline in the revenue from the COCT contract.
Given the decline in revenue, costs were contained and operating expenses
reflect a decline of 26% over that of the prior year. These cost savings were,
however, less than the decline in revenue which resulted in the group
reporting a loss for the year of R14.7 million compared to a loss in the prior
year of R12.6 million.
Headline loss per share has increased by 80% to a loss of 2.48 cents per share
and loss per share has increased by 16% to a loss of 3.8 cents per share from
the previous corresponding period. The difference in headline loss per share
and loss per share relates predominantly to the impairment of goodwill.
Notwithstanding the loss incurred, effective working capital management
resulted in the group utilising R0.9 million of cash for operating activities
during the period. After investing and financing activities, the cash movement
for the year was an outflow of R8.2 million resulting in a closing cash
balance of R2.2 million at year-end.
Included in financing activities is a payment of R3 million to Mvelaphanda
Holdings (Proprietary) Limited, comprising of a repayment of R1.5 million of
the capital outstanding and R1.5 million relating to the fee for rolling over
the preference shares until 29 November 2013.
In terms of the new agreement the group has an obligation to retain the first
R8 million profit after taxation per year for repayment of the preference
share capital.
PROSPECTS AND FUTURE PERFORMANCE
Since the start of the 2012 financial year the group`s strategy has been to
ensure that maximum value is extracted from the Ekurhuleni contract and that
the Limpopo contract is rolled out as planned.
The directors are pleased to report that subsequent to year-end further
municipal tenders were awarded to the group including Saldana and Queenstown.
The Administration Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Project ("AARTO") was
planned to be implemented with effect from 1 April 2011, however this has once
again been delayed. It is anticipated that AARTO will enhance the company`s
revenue and growth prospects. TCS has aligned its business strategy, products
and services in accordance with the requirements of AARTO.
SEGMENT REPORTING
Regional Service Centres have been identified by TCS as operating segments as
they engage in business activities from which they earn revenue and incur
expenses. In addition, operating results are regularly reviewed by the group`s
chief operating decision makers in order to assess the segment`s performance
and to allocate resources.
The group`s reportable segments are:
Southern region;
Northern region;
North/West region;
Coastal region; and
Corporate.
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE REVIEWED RESULTS
Statement of Compliance
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these reviewed
provisional condensed consolidated results ("results"), which are based on
reasonable judgments and estimates, are in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). During the year the accounting policy
for camera accessories changed from the cost model to the revaluation model.
Except for the above, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with
those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2010.
These results as set out in this report have been prepared in accordance with
the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of
IFRS and the AC500 standards as issued by the Accounting Practices Board, the
Companies Act, 1973, (Act 61 of 1973), as amended and the Listings
Requirements of JSE Limited ("JSE Listings Requirements") and contain the
information as required by IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.
Basis of Measurement
These results have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for
certain financial instruments and camera accessories that have been measured
at fair value.
Subsequent events
On 2 March 2011 the arbitrator in the matter between Syntell (Proprietary)
Limited ("Syntell") and the company announced the award in the favour of
Syntell. The company was ordered to pay Syntell R1.4 million plus interest
plus costs. The award was paid to Syntell subsequent to year-end and the
necessary amounts are provided for in these results.
Going concern
Given the significant losses reported in the prior year and the current year,
the group had a negative equity position of R6.8 million at year end. The
directors have prepared the financial information on a going concern basis
which presumes that the group will generate sufficient cash flows to enable it
to service its debts in the normal course of business as and when they become
payable.
The directors determined the future cashflows of the group when it assessed
the going concern status. Although due care has been exercised in the
preparation of these forecasts, any forecast is based on certain assumptions
which may or may not materialise in future. The most significant assumptions
are that cash flow from new contracts entered into will be realised as
expected and the continued support of the preference shareholder will be
provided to the company.
Modified review report
BDO South Africa Inc. has issued a modified review report on the reviewed
consolidated results of the company for the year ended 28 February 2011. They
have drawn attention to the disclosure made by the directors regarding the
ability of the group to continue as a going concern. Their review was
conducted in accordance with ISRE 2410 "Review of Interim Financial
Information performed by the independent auditor of the company". The modified
review report is available for inspection at the company`s registered office.
The emphasis of matter paragraph as contained in the review report is set out
below:
"Emphasis of matter
Without qualifying our conclusion above we draw attention to the disclosure
made by the directors regarding the ability of the group to continue as a
going concern."
Contingent Liabilities
The former landlord has issued summons against the company for R1 million. The
company has defended the action and awaits a court date. The directors do not
believe that any amounts are due to the former landlord and have not provided
for this amount in the results.
SARS has disallowed the loss of R3.5 million plus associated costs of R0.6
million relating to the irregularity on the bank account of the subsidiary
company which occurred during the prior year. The directors believe that these
amounts are deductable and have appointed Webber Wentzel Attorneys to assist
in this regard. The results have been prepared on the basis that these amounts
are deductable for tax purposes; and
Following the arbitration award in favour of Syntell, a further claim for R1
million has been submitted by Syntell against TCS. This claim is currently
being assessed and could proceed to arbitration. No provision has been made in
the results for this amount.
