Comments
* INTRODUCTION
The annual financial statements have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers
Inc. and the audit opinion is available for inspection at OneLogix"s registered
office. The audited annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The
accounting policies used in the preparation of these audited annual financial
statements are consistent with those used in the audited annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 May 2002.
Despite difficult trading conditions and substantial closure costs incurred
in respect of the GoLogix Courier division, OneLogix managed to improve its cash
position and to reduce its risk profile. Factors including prudent management of
the closure and a reduction in debt across the group have contributed to the
group"s restored operational profitability post30 November 2002.
* THE YEAR
Operations
Although performances from Vehicle Delivery Services and GoLogix Media
Express slowed during the year, these businesses continue to dominate their
respective markets of auto-logistics and express distribution of print material.
Strong cash generation and tightened working capital discipline enabled these
businesses to maintain healthy margins and to reduce debt while remaining cash
positive at year-end. PostNet"s successful nationwide network continues to offer
distinctive business and communication service solutions to an entrenched and
expanding customer base.
Events
As announced on 26 May 2003 OneLogix successfully completed a R10 million
rights issue, further entrenching management"s ownership in the group.
Closure and Disposals
As reported in the group"s interim results OneLogix closed the GoLogix
Courier division with effect from 30 November 2002 resulting in an after-tax
loss of R5,5 million, in addition to an after-tax trading loss of R5,5 million
incurred for the interim period.
Shareholders" attention is drawn to the announcement dated 21 June 2002
recording the sale by OneLogix to a management-led consortium of its
distribution business, X Press Net (Pty) Ltd ("X Press Net"), trading as GoLogix
Distribution. On 3 June 2003 the group concluded a settlement agreement with X
Press Net in terms of which the group reduced the sum owing by X Press Net by
R9,0 million and received a R1,5 million immediate cash
payment together with a R0,5 million cash payment due over the first half of the
current financial year. The settlement agreement further resulted in OneLogix
reducing its commitments and undertakings.
* FINANCIAL RESULTS
OneLogix"s financial results for continuing operations for the year reflect a
2% decline in revenue to R61,1 million, an 18% decrease in EBITDA to R15 million
and a 33% decrease in operating income to R11,6 million.
The total once-off after-tax losses in respect of the discontinuing
operations amounted to R19,7 million for the year. Interest paid increased
substantially to R3,9 million as a result of interest bearing debt incurred to
expand the VDS fleet, finance the closures and disposals of loss-making
divisions to date and pay vendor liabilities.
Exceptional items of R0,4 million relate primarily to the write-down of the
OneLogix Share Trust loan.
* PROSPECTS
The group will continue to focus on organic growth of its leading niche, high
margin, cash generating businesses. Sustained positive cash flows expected from
these operations, underpinned by the proceeds of the rights issue, will continue
to bolster the group"s balance sheet and enable OneLogix to pursue growth
opportunities going forward.
* PEOPLE
As reported in the group"s interim results Ian Lourens, formerly OneLogix
Chief Operating Officer, was appointed as Chief Executive Officer with effect
from 1 October 2002.
The group thanks its management, employees, PostNet franchisees and business
partners as well as its business advisors, shareholders and customers for their
ongoing support.
* DIVIDEND
In line with group policy no dividend has been declared for the year.
By order of the Board.
