Basis of preparation                                                            
The reviewed condensed consolidated results for the six months ended 31         
January 2012 (`period under review`) have been prepared by the financial        
director, John King, CA(SA), in accordance with International Financial         
Reporting Standards (`IFRS`), IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements,     
IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the AC 500 Standards as issued by the     
Accounting Practice Board, the South African Companies Act, 2008 (Act 71 of     
2008), as amended, and the JSE Listings Requirements.                           
Accounting policies                                                             
The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the preparation   
of these reviewed condensed consolidated results for the period under review,   
which are based on reasonable judgements and estimates, are in accordance       
with IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the       
group`s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2011.            
Review opinion                                                                  
The condensed consolidated results for the six months ended 31 January 2012     
have been reviewed by the group`s auditors, PKF (Gauteng) Inc., Registered

Financial results                                                               
The board of directors of EOH (`the board`) is satisfied with the performance   
for the period under review. The statement of financial position is strong      
with substantial cash resources to ensure sustainability to support future      
growth. Revenue increased by 44,1% to R1 642,3 million and profit before tax    
is up by 54,9% to R169,2 million. The growth is attributable to a combination   
of both organic growth and recent acquisitions. Earnings per share (`EPS`)      
and Headline earnings per share (`HEPS`) have grown by 31,8% and 31,6%,         
respectively, with cash increasing to R388,8 million.                           
Business combinations                                                           
During the period under review, EOH`s primary focus was to increase its         
Managed Services, Microsoft and BPO businesses and, accordingly, the group      
made several acquisitions in these areas.                                       
- Stanley Security Solutions Proprietary Limited (`Stanley Security`)           
The group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Stanley Security, a      
company specialising in security equipment, for a cash consideration of R83     
million on 7 November 2011.                                                     
- Airborne Consulting Proprietary Limited (`Airborne Consulting`)               
The group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Airborne Consulting      
with effect from 1 December 2011 for an amount of R33 million. Airborne         
Consulting specialises in software development, management consulting,          
infrastructure and managed services. The business was acquired to augment       
EOH`s existing Microsoft businesses.                                            
- Other smaller add-on acquisitions during the period under review              
The group acquired the entire business of Benguela Health Proprietary           
Limited, Blue Platinum Consulting Proprietary Limited, Coros Consulting         
Services Proprietary Limited, Systems Consulting and Training Services          
Proprietary Limited, and LMM Occupational Health Inc.

amounted to R105,6 million contributing R11,2 million to profit before tax.

Subsequent events and capital commitments                                       
There have been no significant events since the end of the period under         
review. There was no significant capital expenditure authorised as at 31        
January 2012.                                                                   
Transformation                                                                  
EOH`s current black shareholding is 37,4%, and 54,0% of EOH`s staff are         
black. 60% of the board members are black. EOH`s community involvement is       
focused on the Maths Centre programme which has as its primary objective to     
equip teachers with programmes to develop learner competency in maths. EOH      
also has an extensive graduate and school leavers programme.                    
EOH is certified as a large enterprise Level 3 contributor (AA) rating with     
BEE procurement recognition of 138,0% as a Value Adding Vendor. EOH has a       
holistic approach to transformation: ownership; management and control;         
employment equity; skills development; preferential procurement; enterprise     
development; socio-economic development and employee/or relations.              
Future plans                                                                    
EOH will continue to grow both organically and acquisitively. There are         
opportunities to grow EOH`s solutions and service offerings and to strengthen   
EOH`s industry verticals. The main areas of growth will be in infrastructure    
and application managed services, cloud offerings, enterprise applications,     
information management, BPO, security and intelligent infrastructure            
management.                                                                     
EOH feels that as a South African enterprise it has the responsibility to       
actively contribute its knowledge and resources to improve Public Sector        
effectiveness. The Public Sector represents a major business opportunity and    
will form a part of its future growth.                                          
Prospects in the rest of Africa are encouraging and EOH sees opportunities in   
this territory.                                                                 
EOH`s job creation initiative is gaining momentum. With the assumption that     
skills equal jobs, EOH has embarked on a learnership development programme      
whereby 620 young people will be given the opportunity to participate in year-  
long learnership and trainee programmes.                                        
EOH is working with its international partners and large customers on plans     
to avoid sending jobs overseas and rather to bring global jobs to South         
Africa. EOH is also lobbying government to create regulations and incentives    
to keep and bring jobs into South Africa. EOH has initiated an off-shoring      
business, as well as created an internal role for job creation.                 
EOH has the resources, track record, know-how, ability and capability to        
continue to grow aggressively.
