COMMENTARY                                                                      
1.1  Basis for preparation                                                      
    The  interim  financial  statements  for  the  6  months  ended  29         
    February 2012 are un-audited  and  have  been  prepared  in  accordance     
with  International  Financial Reporting  Standards ("IFRS"), IAS34, as     
    well as AC 500 standards as issued by the Accounting Practices Board, JSE   
    Listing requirements and the Companies Act of 2008 as amended. The          
    accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual         
financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2011.                     
1.2  Financial review                                                           
    The revenue for the six months is on course to be comparable to the revenue 
    for the financial year 2011. The issue to highlight is the reduction in     
operating costs. Despite this improvement the group still suffered a loss   
    of R2.845 million. The loss is due to the cost of down sizing of the group  
    rolling into the first quarter of the current financial year. The full      
    benefit of the cost savings only materialised during the second quarter,    
which showed the divisions returning to profitability. The first quarter of 
    2012 accounted for 70% of the reported loss for the review period. The      
    group announced contracts being awarded to the group during the release of  
    the 2011 Financial Statements. These contracts took longer than expected to 
be implemented as customers used the December closure to install the        
    security, access control and Fire detection systems. The full benefits of   
    these contracts were only realised from December onwards. The company has   
    completed the circular for the purchase of the I to I assets which have     
been posted to shareholders. Shareholders will be required to vote in       
    respect of the transaction at the General Meeting on 8 June 2012.           
1.3  Operational review                                                         
    The Zaptronix group of companies operates three businesses: Zaptronix       
Metering, Duo Tracking Services and the Site Risk Solutions (the I to I     
    assets)                                                                     
    The economic recovery has seen an increase in prospects as well as the      
    conversion of prospects into transactions; however the margins remain under 
pressure. The cost cutting measures introduced during the last year         
    continues to provide the group not only with lower costs but also with      
    improved pricing for the group`s products and services.                     
1.4  Future prospects                                                           
As the I to I transaction has taken much longer than hoped or anticipated   
    the successful conclusion will allow management to focus on the business    
    fully and apply the energy to grow and exploit the product and service      
    offerings for the benefit of all the stakeholders. It will also allow       
management to finally integrate the operations which will also result in    
    further efficiencies and savings.                                           
    The group is well placed to benefit from the opportunities created by the   
    implementation of the Electricity Regulation Act. Although the act has not  
been implemented, interest in the group`s meters and meter services have    
    grown and improved sales have been recorded.  Due to this expected growth   
    Zaptronix has further extended its technology partnerships and distributor  
    relationships to cope with the increase in demand for the meters.           
The group continues to invest in a broader range of tracking equipment and  
    continues to upgrade its application and systems which will allow Zaptronix 
    to return to profitability as a niche player in this industry.              
1.5  Dividend                                                                   
No dividend has been proposed.
