net income (loss) to fundamental net income and earnings (loss) per share.      
Factors impacting comparability of our Q3 2012 and Q3 2011 results              
-    Unfavorable impact from the strengthening of the US dollar: The US dollar  
    appreciated by 12% against the ZAR during the third quarter of fiscal       
    2012 which negatively impacted our reported results;                        
-    SASSA implementation costs and cash bonuses paid as a result of our        
    recent SASSA tender award: We commenced implementing our new SASSA          
    contract during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and incurred additional    
    implementation and staff costs, of $6.8 million, which includes cash        
bonuses of $5.4 million to key executives and employees involved in the     
    successful tender award;                                                    
-    Lower effective tax rate due to the replacement of STC with a dividends    
    withholding tax in South Africa: As a result of a recent change in South    
African tax law that replaced STC with a dividends withholding tax, our     
    fully distributed tax rate decreased to 28% from 34.55% which positively    
    impacted our results; and                                                   
-    Fiscal 2011 intangible asset impairment and transaction-related expenses:  
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we impaired intangible assets      
    related to the Net1 UTA acquisition of $41.8 million and incurred           
    transaction-related expenses of $0.5 million, primarily for the             
    acquisition of KSNET.                                                       
Comments and Outlook                                                            
"We are extremely pleased with the progress made thus far on the                
implementation of our new SASSA contract. As a result of our efforts, we        
successfully commenced social grant payment on schedule as of April 2, 2012,    
said Dr. Serge Belamant, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Net1. "The     
first phase of our implementation process involved issuing 2.5 million          
temporary MasterCard branded debit cards to grant recipients and establishing   
the payment infrastructure to pay all beneficiaries that we did not pay under   
our old contract. I am particularly pleased with the commitment displayed by    
our implementation teams during the first phase and the focus over the next     
few months will be to replicate the same success through the second phase of    
implementation," he concluded.                                                  
"Our quarterly performance for the next two to three quarters will be           
difficult to predict given the timing and quantum of investments and start up   
costs to be incurred to ensure the implementation of our SASSA contract," said  
Herman Kotze, Chief Financial Officer of Net1. "However, for fiscal year 2012,  
we expect fundamental earnings per share to be at least $1.40, assuming the     
constant currency base of ZAR 7/$1 and using our third quarter-ended share      
count of 45 million shares. As always, fundamental earnings exclude             
amortization of intangibles, stock-based charges and other one-time items," he  
concluded.                                                                      
First phase of our new SASSA contract implementation                            
We successfully initiated the national grant payment process for approximately  
9.2 million beneficiaries on April 2, 2012 having commenced implementation      
during Q3 2012. The implementation will be conducted in two phases. The first   
phase involved issuing approximately 2.5 million MasterCard-branded debit       
cards to beneficiaries that we did not serve under our previous contract in     
order to establish the payment process to pay all social grants in the          
country. The second phase will commence during June 2012 and will require the   
re-registration of all 9.2 million beneficiaries.                               
During Q3 2012 we incurred direct first phase implementation expenses of        
approximately $7 million including bonuses, staff, travel, premises hire for    
enrollment, stationery, delivery and advertising costs. We also incurred        
implementation related capital expenditures of approximately $7 million during  
Q3 2012, primarily for payment vehicles. We anticipate cumulative capital       
expenditures of $45 - $50 million tied to the implementation for our new        
national contract.                                                              
Results of Operations by Segment and Liquidity                                  
Our frequently asked questions and operating metrics will be updated and        
posted on our website (www.net1.com).                                           
South African transaction-based activities                                      
Segment revenue was $46.4 million in Q3 2012, down 2% compared with Q3 2011 in  
USD but up 10% on a constant currency basis. In ZAR, the increase in segment    
revenue was largely due to higher prepaid airtime sales resulting primarily     
from the Eason acquisition and increased transaction volumes in merchant        
acquiring and FIHRST. Revenue from our pension and welfare operations was       
relatively stable on a year-over-year basis. Segment operating income margin    
was 19% and 39%, respectively, and declined primarily due to implementation     
costs and cash bonuses paid, and the inclusion of increased low-margin prepaid  
airtime sales as well as Eason intangible asset amortization. Excluding         
amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, Q3 2012 segment operating      
income margin was 23%, compared to 42% during Q3 2011.                          
International transaction-based activities                                      
KSNET continues to contribute the majority of our revenues in this operating    
segment. Revenue was $28.2 million in Q3 2012, up 14% compared with Q3 2011 in  
USD and 29% on a constant currency basis. Operating margin for the segment is   
lower than most of our South African transaction-based businesses and was       
negatively impacted by start-up expenditures related to our XeoHealth launch    
in the United States, MVC activities at Net1 UTA and on-going losses at Net1    
Virtual Card, but these expenses were partially offset by revenue               
contributions from KSNET, and to a lesser extent from XeoHealth and NUETS`      
initiative in Iraq. Segment operating income margin remained consistent at 1%.  
Excluding the amortization of intangibles but including the start-up costs      
referenced above, Q3 2012 operating income margin was 12% compared to 14%       
during Q3 2011.                                                                 
Smart card accounts                                                             
Segment revenue was $7.6 million in Q3 2012, down 9% compared with Q3 2011 in   
USD but up 3% on a constant currency basis. Operating income margin remained    
consistent at 45%.                                                              
Financial services                                                              
UEPS-based lending contributes the majority of the revenue and operating        
income in this operating segment. We continue to incur start-up expenditures    
related to our SmartLife business and other financial services offerings.       
Segment revenue was $2.3 million in Q3 2012, up 5% compared with Q3 2011 in     
USD and 19% higher on a constant currency basis, principally due to an          
increase in lending activities. Q3 2012 segment operating income margin was     
55% compared with 71% during Q3 2011 and decreased primarily due to start-up    
expenditures incurred by SmartLife.                                             
Hardware, software and related technology sales                                 
Segment revenue was $6.2 million in Q3 2012, down 40% compared with Q3 2011 in  
USD and 33% lower on a constant currency basis. The decrease in revenue and     
operating income was due to a lower contribution from all contributors to       
hardware and software sales. Excluding amortization of all intangibles, and     
the intangible asset impairment in Q3 2011, segment operating loss margin was   
19% compared to and operating income margin of 1% during Q3 2011.               
Cash flow and liquidity                                                         
At March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $88 million, down from   
$95 million at June 30, 2011. The decrease in cash was due to a strengthening   
in the USD against the ZAR, the repayment of principal under our KSNET debt     
and the acquisition of SmartLife and the Eason prepaid electricity and airtime  
business, offset by cash generated from operations and a net settlement         
received from the former shareholders of KSNET. For Q3 2012, we generated net   
cash of        $22.0 million from operating activities, compared to $28         
million in Q3 2011. Excluding the impact of interest paid under our Korean      
debt    , the decrease in cash provided by operating activities resulted from   
timing of receipts of accounts receivable in our South African transaction-     
based activities operating segment and the payment of implementation costs and  
bonuses related to our recent SASSA award. Capital expenditures for Q3 2012     
and 2011 were $14 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and have increased    
primarily due to acquisition of payment vehicles for of our new SASSA           
contract, payment processing terminals in Korea and POS devices to service our  
merchant acquiring system in South Africa.                                      
Use of Non-GAAP Measures                                                        
US securities laws require that when we publish any non-GAAP measures, we       
disclose the reason for using the non-GAAP measure and provide reconciliation   
to the directly comparable GAAP measure. The presentation of fundamental net    
income and fundamental earnings per share and headline earnings per share are   
non-GAAP measures.                                                              
Fundamental net income and fundamental earnings per share                       
Fundamental net income and earnings per share is GAAP net income (loss) and     
earnings (loss) per share to adjusted for (1) the amortization of acquisition-  
related intangible assets (net of deferred taxes), (2) stock-based              
compensation charges and (3) unusual non-recurring items, including the         
effects of a change in South African tax law and the creation of a valuation    
allowance related to foreign tax credits, intangible asset impairments,         
amortization of KSNET debt facility fees and transaction-related costs.         
Management believes that the fundamental net income and earnings per share      
metric enhances its own evaluation, as well as an investor`s understanding, of  
our financial performance. Attachment B presents the reconciliation between     
GAAP and fundamental net income and earnings per share.                         
Headline earnings per share ("HEPS")                                            
The inclusion of HEPS in this press release is a requirement of our listing on  
the JSE. HEPS basic and diluted is calculated using net income which has been   
determined based on GAAP. Accordingly, this may differ to the headline          
earnings per share calculation of other companies listed on the JSE as these    
companies may report their financial results under a different financial        
reporting framework, including but not limited to, International Financial      
Reporting Standards.                                                            
HEPS basic and diluted is calculated as GAAP net income (loss) adjusted for     
the loss (profit) on sale of property, plant and equipment, net of related tax  
effects, the loss attributable to the sale of 10% of SmartLife, the profit on   
liquidation of SmartSwitch Nigeria and the impairment of intangible assets.     
Attachment C presents the reconciliation between our net income used to         
calculate earnings per share basic and diluted and HEPS basic and diluted.
