BIACSA                                                                          
BIACSA - Airports Company South Africa - Executive Summary                      
Airports Company South Africa (ACSA)                                            
Financial Statements of the year ended 31 March 2011 as required by clause      
7.21 of the JSE Debt Listing Requirements                                       
Dated: 30 March 2012                                                            
Executive Summary                                                               
Leading up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Airports Company South Africa            
completed its R17 billion infrastructure capacity development and improvement   
programme. An important component of this colossal task was to ensure that      
there was a smooth and hassle-free transfer to new infrastructure, together     
with its immediate and effective operation.                                     
The massive level of capital expenditure since 2006 has caused a structural     
shift in the financial position. These investments have also been financed      
largely through debt. Gearing (net debt to equity) equalled 62 percent as of    
31 March 2011, an improvement when compared to 64 percent in the previous       
year.                                                                           
In line with the considerable increase in investments, the Group applied for    
an increase in tariffs to enable the business to finance the substantial        
increase in financing and operational costs associated with the completed       
infrastructure. Unfortunately, the promulgated tariffs were much lower than     
expected, resulting in a significant shortfall in earnings to offset the        
appreciable increase in costs, mainly for depreciation and financing.           
The Group continued to drive initiatives to enhance shareholder value through   
maximisation of non-aeronautical income in line with the additional asset       
base and through operational efficiency. However, the sizeable increase in      
operating capacity, coupled with the additional 2010 FIFA World Cup             
expenditure, has increased the operating requirements of the Group.             
Furthermore, the Group`s ability to vary costs to match the traffic profile     
is limited due to the regulated requirements of some of the key activities      
within the Group`s network of airports. Lastly, the substantial tariff          
increases related to utilities, such as water and electricity, as well as       
rates and taxes, continue to erode the already constrained reserves of the      
Group.                                                                          
The challenges above were a serious test of the resilience of the Group and     
we firmly believe that our commitment to sustainable, long-term business        
practices ensured that we emerged unscathed from this period of turbulence.     
In the 2011 financial year, the economic value added by the group is            
testament to our ongoing commitment to create value for all our stakeholders.   
The value added is the measure of wealth the Group has created in its           
operations by `adding value` to the cost of services and goods. The statement   
below summarises the total wealth created and shows how it was shared by        
employees and other parties who contributed to its creation. Also set out       
below is the amount retained and re-invested in the group for the replacement   
of assets and the further development of operations.

Business Review                                                                 
ACSA`s ability to create and sustain value will continue to receive the         
necessary focus, thus ensuring that the Company realises a sustainable          
increase in value for our stakeholders.                                         
Revenue                                                                         
ACSA has two sources of revenue: aeronautical and non-aeronautical.  The        
former is derived from regulated income such as passenger service, aircraft     
landing and parking charges.  The latter comes from commercial activities.      
Driven by an increase in traffic, the Group experienced solid revenue streams   
from both aeronautical and non-aeronautical activities.                         
Aeronautical Revenue                                                            
The increase in aeronautical revenue is primarily due to the annual tariff      
increase of 33 percent, complemented by the increase in overall traffic.        
Further, the increase in international traffic, coupled with a better air       
traffic movements mix during the World Cup period, has resulted in higher       
yields. The year-to-date revenue differential between the proposed economic     
regulatory tariff increase of 40,7 percent and the 33 percent actually          
granted is approximately R141 million.                                          
Traffic Analysis                                                                
ACSA has experienced an upswing in total departing passengers for the period    
under review, with year-on-year traffic showing a positive increase of six      
percent compared to the previous year. This improvement in traffic is           
attributable to the global economic recovery (i.e. the increase in disposable   
income and improvement in the global real GDP rate) and most certainly to the   
2010 FIFA World Cup.                                                            
The value of South Africa as a destination, coupled with our exceptional        
infrastructure, has attracted a number of new users to our airports.            
In the year under review, Virgin Australia, Jet Airways, Fly Kumba, Zambezi     
Airlines and Thai Airways all introduced flights through O.R. Tambo             
International. It is difficult to quantify the traffic related to the World     
Cup, however, both passenger numbers and air traffic movements increased by     
approximately four percent during the period of the tournament.                 
Non-aeronautical Revenue                                                        
The Commercial Services Division is responsible for generating revenue from     
non-aeronautical income. This is achieved through retail and advertising        
concessions, car parks, property leases, management contracts and consultancy   
fees derived from Airports Company South Africa`s airport management            
expertise.                                                                      
Non-aeronautical revenue continues to play a vital role in ACSA`s success. In   
the year under review, this revenue contributed 48 percent (2010: 52 percent)   
of Group revenue and grew by 22 percent (2010:   7 percent) to R2 228 billion   
(2010: R1 829 billion).                                                         
Retail                                                                          
Retail revenue, adjusted for straight-lining of lease income of R20 million     
(2010: R11 million), grew by 19 percent (2010: 9 percent) to R704 million       
(2010: R594 million) This growth of R110 million is attributable to the         
annual rental escalation in ongoing leases, the positive spend during the       
World Cup, higher rental margins received from new tenders, and was offset by   
lower top-up rentals.                                                           
Trading conditions were difficult, with the spend per passenger at O.R. Tambo   
International airside, duty-free mall decreasing in South African Rand terms.   
The strengthening of the Rand against UK, US and European currencies also had   
a negative influence.                                                           
However, in line with the global economic recovery, as well as the additional   
capacity created through the completion of infrastructure expansion, with       
King Shaka International contributing an additional    3 000m2 and about 2      
500m2 at Cape Town International, resulted in the revenue per passenger         
increasing from R36 to R42. Further, the FIFA World Cup contributed an          
estimated R80 million to the total revenue, although the actual number of       
visitors was considerably less than had been predicted.                         
The introduction of Emirate`s direct flights from Luanda to Dubai resulted in   
the high-spending Angolans no longer passing through our airports, thereby      
impacting on retail income.                                                     
The growth in retail income is mainly attributable to the increase in rental    
margin from Big Five Duty Free, annual rental escalations, the improved         
visibility of duty-free stores and an improved retail offering at O. R. Tambo   
International.                                                                  
Further contributions were from longer trading hours during the World Cup       
period, as well as allowing retailers to place merchandise outside their        
lease-line in front of the shops.                                               
The installation of TV screens in the Food Court at Cape Town International     
helped increase trade.                                                          
With retail infrastructure now complete, the future outlook will be primarily   
focused on increasing turnover by improving tenant mix, reviewing and           
improving passenger flows to better integrate with retail layouts and to        
improve customer satisfaction on product offering through price, customer       
service and convenience.

Convenience will be enhanced through the recent launch of `Click, Buy, Fly`,    
a web platform allowing passengers to purchase duty-free, on-line, prior to     
departing. In addition, the introduction of purchasing duty-free goods on       
departure and collecting them on arrival is being pursued.                      
Generally, throughout the terminals, signage and way finding will be further    
enhanced by the introduction of digital retail directory kiosks at all the      
international airports. In addition, these will be used to advertise the        
extensive offerings available. Smartphones represent a powerful commercial      
opportunity by targeting passengers and this will be possible through           
passengers downloading information at the airport.                              
Car Parking                                                                     
Car parking revenue increased by 24 percent to R409 million (2010: R331         
million). It was anticipated that long-term, business demand-driven parking     
would suffer during the World Cup, but it was expected that this would be       
compensated for by an increase in short-stay parkers; unfortunately this did    
not materialise.                                                                
Parking numbers at O.R. Tambo International were adversely affected by the      
opening of the Gautrain, causing an estimated monthly reduction in income of    
approximately R2 million.                                                       
All airports achieved parking revenue growth in excess of 20 percent in a       
stressed global economy where most major airports are reflecting revenue        
growth in non-aeronautical activities of less than five percent.

ACSA`s superior parking performance is due to judicious tariff re-              
structuring, an improvement in the product/pricing mix and improved revenue     
control. In addition, public awareness campaigns in respect of bay              
availability, competitive pricing and choice have improved customer             
perceptions of parking options and ease of use.                                 
Car rental                                                                      
Car rental revenue grew by 10 percent (2010: 2 percent) to R145 million         
(2010: R132 million) after adjusting for straight lining of leases totalling    
R14 million (2010: R2 million), due largely to the additional capacity          
created and taken up across all airports.                                       
The combination of local businesses not travelling during the World Cup         
period, and World Cup demand not meeting expectations, had a negative effect    
on car hire results. Car rental revenues are being impacted by travellers       
using the Gautrain, and this loss of business will increase with the            
commissioning of the remainder of the rail network. The introduction of         
Gauteng toll roads will result in users reviewing their transport options.      
Gross revenue earned by car rental operators continues to be under pressure     
with passengers opting for lower category vehicles and a reduction in the       
length of rentals for cars rented by foreign inbound passengers due the         
strong South African Rand. Lower prices charged by operators in order to        
improve vehicle utilisation affected turnover negatively.                       
Advertising                                                                     
In the financial year under review, ACSA`s advertising revenue increased by     
46 percent to R228 million (comprising the smoothing of leases to the value     
of R5 million and income of R223 million) when compared to R156 million in      
2010.                                                                           
This phenomenal growth is due to the increased infrastructure following the     
upgrading of Cape Town International Airport and the commissioning of King      
Shaka International Airport.                                                    
ACSA was successful in excluding the airports from FIFA advertising             
jurisdiction, which generated a variety of advertising opportunities for        
advertisers that were not FIFA commercial affiliates. Furthermore, the World    
Cup created huge interest in airport advertising from FIFA commercial           
sponsors and attracted brands such as Coca-Cola, MTN and VISA. Income was       
further boosted by leveraging new areas for advertising and selling directly    
at premium rates during the tournament period.                                  
The World Cup drove advertising innovation, firstly by creating specific        
zones or area of dominance for each brand where their visibility was almost     
exclusive. VISA created a brand zone around the air-bridges, being the first    
brand visible to all arrivals on the apron. Coca-Cola created innovation        
around their brand colour red by rolling out a Red Carpet in the                
International Arrival area at O. R. Tambo International, giving the soccer      
fans a red carpet welcome to South Africa. This was coupled with a joint        
ACSA/Coca-Cola branded can of Coke given to all arriving international          
passengers. Brand SA came to the party by branding the O. R. Tambo taxis in     
the colours of the South African flag to make them truly South African          
passenger carriers.                                                             
The commissioning of King Shaka International Airport afforded the              
opportunity of introducing larger, high-impact advertising sites, coupled       
with segmentation of the terminal into advertising zones. This was              
exceptionally well received by the advertising market.                          
The long-term objective of the portfolio is revenue enhancement through         
digital migration and establishment of brand zones. The establishment of        
zones will result in the creation of exclusivity and premium revenues. The      
portfolio will also engage in aggressive marketing of the airports as the       
brand-positioning place of choice. This campaign will assist in creating        
local and international awareness, and will attract more spend at the           
airports.                                                                       
Property revenue                                                                
The Group, excluding the straight lining of leases of R44 million, (2010: R33   
million), grew by 31 percent to R538 million (2010: R411 million). It is        
particularly pleasing to record such double digit growth in a currently         
depressed and introspective market.                                             
The opening of King Shaka International Airport has been a major contributor    
to growth because of the increase in rentable area and the new accommodation    
that enabled new leases to be negotiated at improved rentals. The new 303-      
room City Lodge Hotel at O.R. Tambo International and the Road Lodge Hotels     
at Port Elizabeth and Bloemfontein International Airports opened their doors    
on time for the World Cup. The full effect of their turnover rentals will be    
realised in the next financial year.                                            
It is generally agreed that the outlook for the property industry is not        
bullish in the short- to medium-term. This advises the decision to              
concentrate on maximising the existing portfolio by retaining good tenants      
through lease renewals, cutting arrears, reducing vacancies and upgrading       
aging buildings. Efforts will also be placed on bringing enabled land to        
market. Despite owning extensive tracts of land, optimal value is only          
derived by offering the market land that is zoned, serviced and with all the    
necessary legislative approvals (such as an EIA) in place.                      
The relocation to King Shaka International Airport posed a major challenge      
over how best to utilise the old Durban International Airport site to           
accommodate the holding costs of rates, security and maintenance. Various       
initiatives, such as the parking of new vehicles by Toyota, have been           
explored to cover these costs. The site holds considerable strategic value      
and deliberations to finalise its disposal may take some time.                  
Airport Management Services                                                     
Following discussions between the governments of the Democratic Republic of     
the Congo (DRC) and South Africa, ACSA was requested to submit a proposal for   
partnership in the modernisation of the DRC`s three major airports. Those       
under consideration are Kinshasa, Lubumbashi and Mbuji Mayi. Several other      
airport investment opportunities were evaluated for viability.                  
During the current financial year, Airport Management Solutions participated    
in an airport bid for a 25-year concession in respect of Madinah                
International Airport in Saudi Arabia. The bid was however abandoned shortly    
after successful prequalification and issue of transaction documents owing to   
inter alia restrictive timelines and onerous investment commitments, creating   
a marginal project at best from a viability perspective.                        
The division continued to forge partnerships with various airport authorities   
on the African continent. These included a visit by senior executives from      
the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria and another by technical              
specialists from Uganda Civil Aviation Authority.                               
ACSA is exploring the establishment of a wholly owned subsidiary that will      
pursue airport investment and technical advisory opportunities beyond South     
Africa. Investment opportunities consist of concessions and management          
contracts, mainly in the emerging markets. The rationale for this approach is   
to increase the organisational agility required to secure opportunities,        
provide a comprehensive investment mandate and allocate more resources to       
reflect the increasing importance of income diversification. It is also         
necessary to address pertinent economic regulatory issues and to minimise       
exposure to the financial position. This strategy will yield positive results   
in the medium-term to long-term.                                                
Mumbai International Airport                                                    
Mumbai International Airport experienced impressive traffic growth in the       
last financial year, with more than 29 million passengers travelling through    
the airport, a 14 percent growth over the previous year. The increase in        
cargo handled increased by an impressive 36 percent to 340 000 tonnes.          
Revenue increased over the previous financial year by 18,3 percent and this     
was accompanied by a concerted effort to manage expenses such that profit       
after tax increased by 48 percent to approximately R552 million. The 10         
percent profit after tax attributable to ACSA, on its equity contribution of    
approximately R150 million, is R55 million.                                     
The redevelopment of the airport, currently estimated to cost R16 billion, is   
scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013 and will enable the airport to     
accommodate 45 million passengers per annum. The funding plan anticipates       
ACSA providing further equity in the order of R60 million for the completion    
of the project.                                                                 
ACSA has now been involved in the management of the airport for five years.     
Experience in modernising airports whilst they are in operation has been        
invaluable in enabling ACSA to provide support with the upgrading of existing   
terminal buildings, the development of a new terminal and with the extremely    
demanding strengthening and resurfacing of runways and construction of new      
taxiways and aprons.                                                            
Operating expenses                                                              
Total operating expenses increased to R2 053 million, mainly due to             
inflationary increases, costs associated with the additional capacity created   
and the preparation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Further, the combination of    
abnormal increases in utilities, information technology, customer care (World   
Cup costs), outsourced services, repairs and maintenance, personnel and         
security costs, together resulted in a significant increase in operational      
costs.                                                                          
The Group continues to focus on managing discretionary expenses in order to     
mitigate the financial challenges of constrained income. Despite these          
challenges, the Group has managed to minimise the overall operational costs     
increase to be significantly lower than the increase in the key drivers.        
Financing costs                                                                 
Total interest for the period was R1 506 million, compared to R673 million      
(the 2010 interest amount is after capitalisation of interest of R688           
million) in the same period last year. The Group continued to focus on          
reducing credit spreads through interest rate derivatives and the               
diversification of the sources of funding.  EBITDA interest coverage remains    
constrained at 1,74 times.                                                      
Financial position                                                              
Total assets for the Group increased by R1,2 billion. The increase is largely   
driven by the revaluation of investment property in line with the Group`s       
accounting policy.                                                              
The additions to property, plant and equipment for the period under review      
were R505 million (2010: R5 218 million). The decrease is in line with the      
reduced capital expenditure programme and savings realised through the          
delivery of the infrastructure.                                                 
Total liabilities increased by R542 million, which is attributable to           
additional short-term borrowings (commercial paper) in the current financial    
year. In addition, there is an increase in the net value of derivative          
financial instruments of approximately R405 million. The Group entered into     
interest rate swaps of approximately R3,5 billion to hedge the interest rate    
movements. The Group borrowings were raised at the time when interest rates     
where significantly higher (during the global economic crisis) and, as a        
result, a considerable portion of the borrowings was floating to take           
advantage of future reduction in interest rates. The interest rate swaps were   
entered into following the substantial decline in interest rates (i.e. during   
September 2009 to March 2010). However, further unexpected interest rate        
reductions were effected subsequently in order to improve the domestic          
growth. This has resulted in the substantial increase in the unrealised fair    
value loss.                                                                     
The average cost of borrowings for the period under review is estimated at      
9,2 percent, a decrease from 2010`s 9,75 percent.                               
Cash flow                                                                       
The Group received cash from customers of R4 579 million and paid suppliers     
an amount of R2 814 million. This resulted in cash generated from operations    
of R1 765 million.                                                              
The net cash outflow from financing activities is R999 million after taking     
into account interest paid of R1 466 million and net debt raised of R467        
million.                                                                        
Outlook                                                                         
The Group has created a solid asset base over the last four years, which,       
coupled with the investment made in across-the-board personnel development,     
has presented a great opportunity for value creation into the future.           
Accordingly, ACSA will continue to focus on embedding its customer focus        
approach and stakeholder engagement drive, putting energy and effort towards    
ensuring that the existing infrastructure is well maintained and optimised to   
deliver value by placing emphasis on long-term business sustainability and      
business excellence.                                                            
In the short-term, the Company recognises the need for an improvement in its    
financial position and credit metrics. There is no immediate need for           
infrastructure delivery in the medium-term, however, the Group will monitor     
the demand and need for capacity to ensure that a responsible and timely        
delivery of infrastructure will be delivered in line with growth                
expectations.                                                                   
Economic regulations                                                            
In anticipation of the next Permission, which is due to commence on 1 April     
2013, the Department of Transport has developed a roadmap to address the        
shortcomings in the current regulatory framework, as well as the formulation    
and promulgation of regulations to support the purposes and intentions of the   
Airports Company and Air Traffic and Navigation Services Acts.  The roadmap     
also aims to develop a suitable funding model for both of the regulated         
entities.                                                                       
Revenue and traffic trends                                                      
Traffic volumes for the airport network are projected to grow by five to        
eight percent, both in the number of passengers and in aircraft movements.      
The projected increase is driven largely by the expected growth in the South    
African economy, as well as expected global economic recovery. A slight         
improvement in the consumer sentiment is also anticipated, due to the           
economic recovery, with a resultant increase in spend per passenger at our      
airports. The remodelling of our retail stores, and the consequent additional   
capacity, gives us an opportunity to explore and grow this area of our          
business. The Group also expects to capitalise on its property portfolio, as    
well as other non-aeronautical revenue streams, such as advertising revenue,    
on the back of the projected economic growth.                                   
Financial overview                                                              
Group revenue is expected to grow by at least 26 percent in the next            
financial year as a result of the expected increase in traffic volume, as       
well as the promulgated tariff increase of approximately 34,8 percent. This     
will contribute positively towards the Group`s financial performance and        
result in positive earnings.                                                    
Whilst the Group is expected to return to positive earnings in the next         
financial year, it is envisaged that it will take approximately two years       
before it is able to earn an appropriate commercial return, in line with the    
anticipated risks of the business. The key credit metrics, including the        
gearing ratio, are expected to be normalised within the set threshold by the    
end of March 2013. The Group is committed to maintain these metrics within      
the set threshold, going forward.                                               
Although there are still a number of issues to be addressed, in terms of the    
development of an appropriate economic regulatory framework, significant        
progress has been achieved in resolving the policy issues, which have created   
uncertainty for the investors over the past five years. ACSA fully supports     
the Department of Transport`s roadmap to address the fundamental issues         
within the economic regulatory framework to ensure predictability, certainty    
and balance of risks and rewards as ACSA progresses.
