TeleMasters is a fully licenced fixed-line telecommunication service provider.  
It operates exclusively in the South African corporate market. The company      
provides clients access to the most efficient and effective telecommunication   
technologies and services.                                                      
2. FINANCIAL RESULTS                                                            
2.1 Statement of compliance and basis of preparation                            
The interim financial statements for the three months ended 31 December 2011    
have been presented in accordance with the framework concepts and the           
measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting   
Standards, the information required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the 
South African Companies Act, as amended, the AC500 Standards as issued by the   
Accounting Practices Board and the JSE Listings Requirements.  The results have 
been prepared in accordance with accounting policies of the Company that are    
consistent with those applied in the audited annual financial statements for the
year ended 30 September 2010 and the reviewed results for the year ended 30     
September 2011. These results were prepared under the supervision of Brandon    
Topham CA(SA) and have not been reviewed or audited by the Company`s auditors.  
2.2 Commentary on financial results and prospects                               
The first quarter reflects management`s expectations as voiced earlier that 2012
will be a tough transitional year. The traditional least-cost routing (LCR)     
turnover decreased by 35% over the corresponding previous period due to the loss
of 2 large clients that reached the end of tender periods. Expectations are that
no more LCR tenders will be issued in future. The licenced telecoms services are
being rolled out and have reached 260 clients. The challenge is to exceed the   
loss of revenue with the conversion of 600 long-standing current clients and the
acquisition of new clients to the company`s Digital Direct service. A further   
R1.6m has been invested in capital acquisition in order to upgrade the          
interconnect facilities to be independent of 3rd party vendors and so increase  
the quality of service. The company has amended its billing, processes, sales   
model, logistics and technical support to serve the requirements of cellular and
fixed line billing and facilitate geographic number porting successfully. A     
number of learning experiences were inevitable and structural and procedural    
adjustments were made to decrease response time and increase efficiency of      
service provision. The company expects an ever-increasing level of quality and  
its current level of voice service quality rivals any other offering in the     
market. With increased billing the company will realise economies of scale in   
its operations and fixed cost components. Operating expenditure has remained    
constant and active measures to reduce this are being implemented. Gross margin 
is expected to increase as number porting is rolled out and incoming call       
revenues are realised. The company has sufficient reserves to ensure the roll   
out of the needed technology. A lower interim dividend for the period was       
declared to allow for conservative cash flow management.                        
2.3. Dividends                                                                  
On 21 December 2011, the board declared a quarterly interim dividend of 1 cent  
per share, which was paid to all shareholders recorded in the share register of 
the Company at the close of business on Friday, 13 January 2011.                
During the first quarter of the prior financial year, which ended on 31 December
2010, the Company declared an interim dividend of 4 cents per share for that    
quarter.                                                                        
2.4. Acquisition of property, plant and equipment                               
Property, plant and equipment acquired during the quarter comprise various items
of Furniture and fittings, Motor vehicles, Office equipment, IT equipment and   
Routers and handsets.                                                           
3. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS                                                            
The directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance arising since the     
reporting date which would have a material effect on the consolidated results or
the consolidated financial position of the Company as reported.
