Introduction                                                                    
The board of directors is pleased to report that the Eqstra group ("the group") 
delivered improved results during another challenging year, testifying to the   
resilience of the group`s underlying business model. Contract Mining and Plant  
Rental performance remained below expectations. Construction and Mining         
Equipment Distributorships (CMED) turnaround was due to the benefits of past    
restructuring and increased equipment demand from the mining sector. Passenger  
and Commercial Vehicles delivered a solid performance underpinned by annuity    
contracts and growth in non-capital based value added services. Industrial      
Equipment delivered a commendable performance as firm demand for its established
products in southern Africa, the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland continued.     
Overview of results                                                             
* Revenue increased by 9.3% to R7 586 million (2010: R6 939 million) primarily  
 as a result of increased revenue in CMED and Industrial                        
Equipment.                                                                     
* Operating profit increased by 25.8% to R903 million (2010: R718 million)      
 mainly on the back of a turnaround in CMED.                                    
* Net finance costs decreased by 29.3% to R448 million (2010: R634 million) as  
average debt levels decreased during the year due to efficient working         
 capital  management, effects of the rights issue in June 2010 and a lower      
 prime interest rate.                                                           
* The taxation charge of 22.9% is below the statutory rate due to the           
utilisation of R27 million of previously impaired deferred tax assets.         
* Basic earnings per share and headline earnings per share are 71.5 cents and   
 77.9 cents respectively, against the comparable basic loss per share of 19.6   
 cents and headline loss per share of 21.7 cents.                               
* Leasing assets increased by 13.1% to R7 625 million (2010: R6 740 million)    
 primarily as a result of the ramp-up of the Benga project                      
 in Mozambique.                                                                 
* Working capital decreased by R822 million, further contributing to the        
increase in cash generated by operations.                                      
 Long-term debt funding                                                         
The group successfully concluded its long-term debt funding package in February 
2011, whereby the quantum and duration of long-term debt was increased. In      
August 2011 the group renewed its UK debt facilities for a further three years. 
The group comfortably exceeded all bank debt covenants.                         
* Interest cover (EBITDA ) increased to 5.3 times (2010: 3.6 times); and        
* Capital adequacy improved to 25.3% (2010: 24.6%).                             
The board believes that sufficient facilities are in place to meet the group`s  
liquidity requirements.

Operating profit declined due to higher preventative maintenance costs, lower   
asset utilisation and new contract start-up costs. The                          
unprecedented illegal industrial action during the latter part of the financial 
year resulted in reduced margins as lost revenue opportunities and standing     
costs relating to equipment and people affected results. A R50 million net      
impairment charge to leasing assets following damages during illegal industrial 
action at Pilanesberg Platinum mine has been made, which could be reduced by    
salvage and insurance claims. The plant rental business unit experienced weak   
demand from the construction industry and reduced infrastructure spend.

Profit before taxation of R40 million compares to a loss of R272 million in the 
prior year. The division benefited from a rationalised overhead cost base,      
reduced debt, an impairment reversal and increased equipment demand from the    
mining industry. The construction sector however remained depressed. Inventories
reduced by a further 25.3% during the year with a continued focus on working    
capital management.

The division delivered a solid performance on the back of its annuity contracts 
with revenue increasing 4.9% as a result of the growth in value added products. 
Operating profit decreased by 3.1% on the back of a lower prime interest rate   
and lower margins attributable to non-capital intensive services. The decrease  
was countered by a positive contribution from the remarketing of vehicles.

Revenue increased by 11.7% and profit before taxation increased by a robust     
27.1% as the division benefited from improved demand for its products in most   
sectors of the economy. Reduced financing costs due to the improvement of       
working capital management.

Dividend and cash dividend declaration                                          
In line with the dividend policy as stated in the pre-listing statement and     
given the profitability of the group, the annual dividend payout ratio will be  
conservatively managed between 30% to 35% of attributable headline earnings.    
The recovery in earnings gives the board confidence to declare a maiden dividend
of 25 cents per share. The board considered the solvency and liquidity of the   
company and is satisfied that the company will be solvent and liquid immediately
after completing the distribution.                                              
Notice is hereby given that a cash dividend of 25 cents per share has been      
declared for the year ended 30 June 2011.

The group is well positioned to improve profitability notwithstanding the       
current global economic uncertainty. We remain cautious about the economic      
developments in our major markets in view of continued market volatility.       
Sectors have been identified for opportunities to expand our footprint through  
organic growth and complementary acquisitions.
