Eqstra Holdings Limited                                                         
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)                                  
(Registration number 1998/011672/06)                                            
Share code: EQS ISIN: ZAE000117123                                              
UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011

INTRODUCTION                                                                    
The board of directors is pleased to report that the Eqstra group ("the group") 
grew earnings in an environment characterised by continued economic uncertainty 
and a challenging climate for industrial relations. Contract Mining and Plant   
Rental`s Benga project in Mozambique continued to deliver good results, however,
the division was negatively impacted by industrial action in the domestic market
and an underperforming contract. Construction and Mining Equipment              
Distributorships` (CMED) performance was below expectations due to lumpy mining 
sector demand and weak demand from the construction industry. Passenger and     
Commercial Vehicles delivered another pleasing operating performance underpinned
by annuity contracts, value-added services and the resumption of leasing asset  
growth. Industrial Equipment performed well despite a strong yen. United Kingdom
(UK) forklift operations delivered a good performance with increased market     
share in a difficult market.                                                    
OVERVIEW OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS                                               
?Revenue from continuing operations increased by 11.2% to R4 022 million (H1`11:
R3 616 million), with growth spread across divisions.                           
?Operating profit increased by 12.6% to R455 million (H1`11: R404 million),     
mainly on the back of a good performance by Passenger and Commercial Vehicles.  
?Net finance costs increased by 17.2% to R252 million (H1`11: R215 million) as  
average debt levels increased during the year due to growth in leasing assets   
and increased investment in working capital.                                    
?Profit before taxation from continuing operations increased 45.3% to R263      
million (H1`11: R181 million), which includes an impairment reversal of R35     
million relating to an insurance claim.                                         
?Basic earnings per share from continuing operations increased 51.9% to 47.1    
cents and headline earnings per share from continuing operations increased by   
18.3% to 36.8 cents.                                                            
?Leasing assets increased by 10.2% to R8 406 million (H2`11: R7 625 million)    
mainly due to growth of the Benga equipment fleet in Contract Mining and Plant  
Rental, as well as the translation effect of foreign currency denominated assets
due to a weaker rand.                                                           
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS                                                         
Eqstra and Caterpillar Global Mining LLC ("CAT") are negotiating a transaction, 
whereby the Mining services (Bucyrus) business unit would be sold as a going    
concern for a purchase price based on predetermined asset and inventory values  
and goodwill. Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement as       
updated on 12 January 2012.                                                     
The New Holland Construction business unit has been classified as a discontinued
operation. Negotiations are ongoing in this regard.                             
Prior period results of the group and the CMED division have been reclassified  
to reflect the effect of discontinued operations.                               
LONG-TERM DEBT FUNDING                                                          
Total interest-bearing liabilities increased by 20.2% to R6 699 million (H2`11: 
R5 571 million), mainly due to the planned increase in revenue generating assets
and increased investment in working capital. The increase in inventories is     
attributable to an increase in committed orders.                                
The group complied with all bank debt covenants:                                
?Interest cover (EBITDA) increased slightly to 5.4 times (H1`11: 5.3 times); and
?Capital adequacy decreased to 23.0% (H2`11: 25.3%).                            
The board believes that sufficient facilities are in place to meet the group`s  
liquidity requirements.                                                         
DIVISIONAL REVIEW

Revenue increased 11.7%, mainly due to higher volumes on the Benga project.     
Operating profit increased by 6.9% and profit before taxation increased by      
15.7%, but industrial action during the period reduced both revenue and the     
operating margin, as standing costs relating to equipment and staff negatively  
impacted results. The terms of the loss making Platmin contract was renegotiated
effective 1 January 2012. The successful conclusion of an insurance claim       
relating to equipment damage during the latter part of H2`11 resulted in an     
impairment reversal of R35 million. Plant rental performed well in Mozambique   
and Namibia, but demand from the domestic construction industry remains weak.

The continuing operations of the division consist of Terex rigid and articulated
dump trucks and Sleipner excavator transport systems. Although sales were slow  
during the period due to continued pressure on the construction sector, order   
intake has improved in recent months, with a secured order book at period-end of
R200 million.

The division delivered a satisfying performance from its annuity contracts with 
revenue increasing 13.2% as a result of the growth in logistics revenues, value-
added products and a good contribution from the remarketing of off-lease        
vehicles. The operating profit margin was unchanged and profit before taxation  
increased by 22.4% as finance costs remained constant. Leasing assets grew by   
7.3%.

Revenue increased by 15.2% and profit before taxation increased 19.6%. The      
strength of the yen negatively impacted the domestic operating margin. During   
the period 54% of new forklift sales in the SA market and 61% in the UK market  
were sold into the leasing fleet. The Heavy lift business unit made a better    
than expected contribution and benefitted from a strong aftermarket performance.
UK operations delivered a pleasing result, with market share growing.           
DIVIDEND                                                                        
In line with the group`s dividend policy, the board will consider an annual     
dividend declaration at the financial year-end.

The board would like to thank Dr Danie Cronje, who retired from the board as an 
independent non-executive director and chairperson of the board on 16 November  
2011, for his valued contribution. The board welcomes Mr Nkateko (Peter) Mageza,
who was appointed as an independent non-executive director on1 October 2011 and 
as chairperson of the board on 16 November 2011.

Eqstra, with its robust balance sheet, leading market positions and strong cash 
generation, is well positioned to sustain earnings, despite growth concerns in  
the global economy.
