OVERVIEW
PSG Group Ltd ("PSG") is an investment holding company consisting of 39
underlying investments that operate across industries which include financial
services, banking, private equity, agriculture and education. PSG`s market
capitalisation is approximately R9.5bn, with its largest investment being a
32.5% interest in Capitec Bank.
SUM-OF-THE-PARTS ("SOTP")
A key valuation tool to measure PSG`s performance by is the growth in its SOTP
value per share. The calculation is simple and requires limited subjectivity as
82% of the SOTP value is calculated using quoted market prices, whilst the
unlisted investments are valued using market-related multiples. At 29 February
2012, the SOTP value per PSG share was R55.92, which equated to a 54% compounded
annual growth rate over the last three years. At 5 April 2012, the SOTP value
was R61.66 per share.

RESULTS
A continued increase in PSG`s SOTP value over the long term will depend on
sustained growth in the profitability of our underlying investments. PSG
continues to use the recurring headline earnings method to provide management
and investors with a more realistic and transparent way of evaluating PSG`s
earnings performance. Consolidated recurring headline earnings represent the sum
of PSG`s effective interest in that of each strategic investment, regardless of
our percentage shareholding. The result is that investments in which PSG or an
underlying company holds less than 20% and are generally not equity accountable
in terms of accounting standards, are included in the calculation of our
consolidated recurring headline earnings. Marked-to-market fluctuations and one-
off items are excluded.

Recurring headline earnings per share increased by 27.6% to 308.6 cents during
the year under review. Capitec again accounted for most of the growth with its
continued exceptional performance, whilst the majority of the remaining
investments reported moderate earnings growth. Paladin`s performance was
negatively impacted by the losses that were suffered by its investments in the
construction sector. Curro reported a loss as a result of its infrastructure
spend to cater for future growth, as well as its investment in startup schools
which will only turn profitable once they have a sufficient number of learners.
Headline earnings increased by 6.4% to 326.2 cents per share, whereas
attributable earnings decreased by 4.6% to 404.4 cents per share. The lower
increase in headline earnings as opposed to recurring headline earnings per
share was predominantly as a result of a marked-to-market loss of R29.8m
incurred on PSG Financial Services` interest rate hedge as opposed to a marked-
to-market profit of R4.9m in the prior year, and less marked-to-market profits
achieved in Thembeka`s investment portfolio of listed shares during the current
financial year.
The decrease in attributable earnings per share was mainly as a result of the
non-headline profits achieved on the disposal of Paladin`s investment in CIC
Holdings and Zeder`s investment in KWV Holdings in the prior year.
MATERIAL CORPORATE ACTION AND INVESTING
Raised R377m in cash through the issue of 8.2m PSG ordinary shares at an average
price of R46.09 per share;
Raised R132m in cash through the issue of 1.5m PSG Financial Services perpetual
preference shares. We now have a nominal total of R1.34bn in perpetual
preference share funding, of which the majority of the cost has been fixed by
means of an interest rate hedge - R440m at 8.87% per annum until 31 August 2016,
and R780m at 8.56% per annum until 31 August 2020;
Paladin`s 77.6% interest in Curro was unbundled to Paladin shareholders with
effect from August 2011. PSG, as a result, now holds a 63.1% direct interest in
Curro;
Effective October 2011, PSG acquired the remaining 18.7% minorities shareholding
for a 100% interest in Paladin, following which Paladin was delisted from the
JSE (Altx). The purchase consideration was settled through the issue of 4.3m
PSG ordinary shares at a price of R47.27 per share, and R2m in cash; and
Subsequent to year end, PSG acquired a 60% interest in CA Sales Holdings (Pty)
Ltd (a Botswana based FMCG distributor) for R202m.
CAPITEC BANK (32.5%)
PSG is proud of its investment in Capitec. It has grown into a sizeable
business with over 7 000 employees, 507 branches and a market capitalisation in
excess of R20bn. During the past year, Capitec appointed 2 694 employees and
created 1 863 jobs.
Capitec focuses on making banking easier and more cost effective for its
clients. It acquires new clients and encourages existing clients to use more of
its products and services. Capitec added 877 000 new clients during the past
year to bring the total number of active clients to 3.7m.
In November 2011, Capitec raised R787m in cash by means of a private placement
of ordinary shares, which resulted in PSG`s interest in Capitec diluting from
34.2% to 32.5%. Despite the increased capital in the business, they still
managed to deliver a return on ordinary shareholders` equity of 29% (2011: 34%).
Capitec reported headline earnings of R1.08bn for the financial year ended 29
February 2012, with headline earnings per share having increased by 49% to
R11.25.
Capitec has changed banking in South Africa with its simplicity and innovation,
and is attracting more and more high income clients. The core management team
has been with the bank since its inception and remains confident that they will
be able to continue to grow Capitec`s client base.
Capitec`s comprehensive results are available at www.capitec.co.za.
PSG KONSULT (71.3%)
PSG Konsult, now also incorporating the PSG Asset Management group, reported
positive results for the financial year ended 29 February 2012. Recurring
headline earnings per share increased by 15.6% to 14.1 cents, and headline
earnings per share by 21.6% to 15.2 cents. Turnover, consisting of commission
and other operating income, increased by 40% to R1.4bn (largely as a result of
the acquisition of the PSG Asset Management group), while short term premiums
administered amounted to R1.6bn on an annualised basis. Funds under management
and administration increased to R139bn.
The PSG Konsult group received a number of accolades during the past year:
The PSG Equity Fund and PSG Flexible Fund won Raging Bull awards;
PSG Konsult Moderate Fund of Funds won the Morningstar award for Moderate
Allocations;
PSG Online was voted Stockbroker of the Year by Business Day Investors Monthly;
and
PSG Konsult was voted National Broker of the Year: Commercial lines and
Agriculture by Santam.
At year-end, PSG Konsult had 224 (2011: 216) offices with 694 (2011: 642)
financial planners, portfolio managers, stockbrokers and asset managers.
PSG Konsult`s comprehensive results are available at www.psgkonsult.co.za.
PSG PRIVATE EQUITY (PREVIOUSLY PALADIN CAPITAL) (100%)
Paladin will in future be branded as PSG Private Equity.
At 29 February 2012, Paladin had 13 investments across the economic spectrum.
Paladin invests in sectors other than agriculture, food and beverages.
Paladin was delisted from the JSE (Altx) in the year under review following its
unbundling of Curro and the subsequent buy-out of the Paladin minority
shareholders by PSG. Paladin minority shareholders realised a compounded annual
return of 43% since listing in 2009. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSG,
Paladin continues to focus on new business opportunities.
Recurring headline earnings decreased by 17% to R37m, mainly due to losses
suffered by its investments in the construction industry. African Unity
Insurance experienced strong earnings growth and GRW has returned to
profitability, while the remainder of Paladin`s investments performed in line
with or better than in the prior year. Paladin management invested a
significant amount of time in the past year to restructure or turn investments
around that have previously disappointed, and we look forward to improved
earnings from these investments going forward.
Further corporate action at Paladin included:
Invested R262m in Curro, prior to its unbundling;
Acquired a 50% interest in Impak Onderwysdiens (provider of alternative and
distance education services aimed at the school level) for R35m;
Sold its 44% interest in IQuad for R30m;
Early stage investments in Energy Partners (provider of energy saving solutions)
and Stellenbosch Nanofibre Company (provider of nanofibre technology solutions),
the latter in partnership with the University of Stellenbosch; and
Subsequent to year end, Top Fix (in which Paladin holds a 29% stake) reached an
agreement to sell its scaffolding business which has traditionally been loss
making. The transaction is subject to shareholder approval.
Paladin`s overall internal rate of return (IRR) across its portfolio (excluding
the unbundled Curro) is currently 15%. Management`s target remains an IRR in
excess of 25%.
CURRO (63.1%)
Curro was listed on the JSE (Altx) on 2 June 2011. Its business model revolves
around the development, acquisition and management of private schools in South
Africa. Curro has decided to expand its original affordable schools model to
include three additional market segments, being:
The high-end/elite private school market;
A private community school initiative market known as Meridian Private Schools,
focusing on the lower end of the market; and
The baby care/creche market that will be known as Curro Junior Academy.
Since 2009, Curro has expanded its country-wide network of private schools from
3 to 16. The number of learners has increased fivefold from 2 000 in 2009 to
more than 10 500 at present.
During the year under review, Curro invested R142m in the establishment of four
new main campuses, and R80m to expand capacity and to upgrade facilities at the
existing campuses. Curro also acquired and expanded four schools with
established campuses.
On a comparative basis, Curro`s turnover has increased by 125% to R166.3m for
the financial year ended 31 December 2011. Curro made a headline loss of R7.5m
for the year ended 31 December 2011, compared to a R5.2m profit in the previous
year due to the high initial costs associated with new schools. We expect Curro
to continue to yield low returns whilst expanding rapidly.
The potential of the private schools market and the rapidly increasing demand
for private education bode well for Curro`s growth strategy. Curro will
therefore, in addition to adding capacity to existing schools, continue to
aggressively expand its network of schools across South Africa. We are
confident that this strategy will yield attractive returns in the long term,
albeit that it will be capital intensive and costly over the short to medium
term.
In order to provide Curro with additional capital to finance the rapid expansion
of its network of schools and to take advantage of new opportunities that the
market currently presents, Curro has announced a renounceable rights offer
whereby it will raise R348m at R6 per share during April 2012.
Curro`s comprehensive results are available at www.curro.co.za.
THEMBEKA CAPITAL (49%)
Thembeka Capital, a BEE investment company, was previously held by Paladin
Capital and is now separately reported on under PSG Group. At year end,
Thembeka`s portfolio of R1.6bn consisted of investments in Capitec Bank, PSG
Group, Kaap Agri, Overberg Agri, MTN Zakhele and several other unlisted
investments. Thembeka`s recurring headline earnings increased by 57% to R72m
for the year under review, whereas its intrinsic value (post CGT) increased by
5% to R72.92 per share since 28 February 2011.
Corporate action at Thembeka included:
Sold its entire interest in the JSE Ltd, realizing a profit of R261m,
representing an IRR of 44%;
Sold its smaller investments in IQuad, MGK and BKB, realising IRR`s of between
17% and 51%;
Increased its interest in Kaap Agri from 15% to 20%; and
The Thembeka Agri Fund acquired an 11% interest in NWK.
Subsequent to year end, Thembeka, as the lead BEE partner in the Pioneer BEE
deal, acquired a 4.4% interest in Pioneer Food Group Ltd for R514m. Thembeka`s
cash contribution to this transaction was R52m, with the balance being funded by
a third party.
Thembeka is confident that its portfolio of investments will continue to deliver
good returns over the long term.
ZEDER INVESTMENTS (42.4%)
Zeder is an investor in the agriculture, food, beverages and related sectors.
The current value of its portfolio amounts to R3.1bn, of which its investments
in Agri Voedsel Beleggings (with its interest of 31.1% in Pioneer Foods) and
Capevin Holdings (with its effective interest of 14.8% in Distell) represent
62.4%. During the year under review, Zeder invested R338m to increase its
interest in existing investments.
Recurring headline earnings per share increased by 3.1% to 27.9 cents, and
headline earnings per share by 62.3% to 30.7 cents. The significant increase in
headline earnings mainly relates to the prior year impact of Pioneer Foods`
Competition Commission settlement. During the year under review, Zeder`s SOTP
value per share (calculated using quoted market prices) increased by 15% to
R3.15.
Corporate action at Zeder included:
Zeder made an offer to acquire the entire issued share capital of Capespan at
R2.25 per share in cash. Through the offer and market purchases, Zeder managed
to increase its shareholding in Capespan from 22.7% to 40.9%;
Subsequent to year-end, Zeder acquired the remaining 74.9% shareholding in
Agricol for a purchase consideration of R150.4m. Zeder views its acquisition of
Agricol as an important phase in its investment strategy and plans to use this
vehicle to drive a South African and African expansion in the seed business; and
Subsequent to year-end, Zeder acquired an interest of 81% in Chayton, a large
scale commercial farming operation in Zambia. The initial investment is
USD9.7m, with a further USD37m to be invested as and when acquisition
opportunities have been identified by Chayton. The investment in Chayton will
further contribute to Zeder`s reach and will create new opportunities for its
current SA-based investments.
Zeder has historically only taken non-controlling strategic stakes in businesses
in its chosen sector. The acquisition of controlling interests in both Agricol
and Chayton will allow Zeder to play a more active role in determining strategy
and to help expand the respective businesses.
Zeder is positive about the role that Africa, with its vast agricultural
potential and resources, could play in addressing the growing global demand for
food.
Zeder`s comprehensive results are available at www.zeder.co.za.

dividend, of which one third is payable as an interim and the balance as a final
dividend at year-end. On 1 March 2012, the directors declared a final dividend
of 56 cents (2011: 47 cents) per share, which brings the total dividend for the
financial year ended 29 February 2012 to 82 cents (2011: 67 cents). The final
dividend was paid to shareholders on 2 April 2012.
Preference shares
The directors of PSG Financial Services have declared a dividend of 334.73 cents

8. Restatement of prior year figures
The net cash flows from investments in equity securities (other than those that
are linked to investment contracts) have been reclassified from cash flows from
operating activities in prior reporting periods to cash flows from investment
activities. PSG believes that this is the more appropriate way to view such
investments from a cash flow perspective and has consequently resolved to
restate the prior year figures in the group statement of cash flows. The effect
of the reclassification was as follows:
