COMMENTARY
It gives me pleasure to present our results for the year ended 30 June
2006. Growth in headline earnings per share of 30% have been achieved
through increased revenues, improved cost control, and reduction in the STC
charge. The introduction of our Business Partner program, and closure of
our branches, towards the end of the previous financial year, have been
catalysts in this regard. We will use the Business Partner strategy in our
attempts to establish a geographical presence abroad and to improve service
levels. Ignoring the once off impact of the reduced STC charge, growth in
our headline earnings, is still a very acceptable 25%.
Compu-Clearing has recently invested close to R3 million in the renewal of
hardware and improvement of the group"s disaster recovery capabilities.
Nevertheless, cash levels remain excellent and as a result, the board has
approved a dividend of 11 cents a share and, subject to shareholder
approval, a capital distribution of 9 cents a share, resulting in total
payments to shareholders of 20 cents per share. Notwithstanding the
distribution of the entire earnings, the group will still maintain
sufficient cash to fund future operations and expansion.
The group expects turnover for the next financial year to be boosted by
winning contracts to supply systems to a number of major clients. The
group"s banking and order planning systems, are gaining momentum and are
likely to begin generating revenues in the second half of the next
financial year.
Compu-Clearing"s international systems require some redevelopment, all of
which will be done locally. As a result, no contribution is expected for
the next 6 to 12 months from the international operations. Management,
however, remain confident of the international division"s long-term
feasibility.

Basis of preparation
The Group has adopted IFRS for the first time in the preparation of these
results and has applied IFRS 1 (First time adoption of International
Financial Reporting Standards). The condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The accounting policies set out
below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these
condensed financial statements. They also have been applied in preparing an
opening IFRS balance sheet as at 1 July 2004, for the purposes of the
transition to IFRS, as required by IFRS 1.
In terms of IAS 1, investments in property instruments, previously included
in cash and cash equivalents, are now disclosed separately, due to the
different risk profile applicable to these investments.
IFRS 1 elections applicable 1 July 2004
Fair value deemed cost
The Group has elected to measure its property at fair value on 1 July 2004,
the date of transition to IFRS. Hence fair value is deemed to be cost at
that date.
Adoption of IFRS 2 Share-based payment transactions
The Group has elected to apply the share based payments exemption. In terms
of this exemption, options granted before 7 November 2002, or granted
thereafter but vested before 1 January 2005 are not subject to IFRS2.
Share-based payment transaction accounting policy
The Group grants share options to employees, in terms of the Compu-Clearing
Share Incentive Scheme. The options are subject to service vesting
conditions. The Group recognises the fair value of the options granted (on
grant date) as an employee benefit expense, over the vesting period. A
corresponding amount is recognised in the share-based payment reserve in
equity, as these are equity settled.
The expense is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect actual and
anticipated levels of vesting.
Adjustments implemented with effect from 1 July 2004
IFRS 2 - Share-based payments
An adjustment has been made to retained earnings at this date, in
accordance with IFRS 2 and amounts are now expensed over the vesting
period.
IAS16 - Property, plant and equipment
Deemed cost
The cost of the Group"s property has been adjusted to recognise the fair
value of the property at 1 July 2004, as deemed cost under IFRS.
Other adjustments
Residual values
In calculating the depreciation charge, the Group has reduced the
depreciable amount of its assets in each period by its estimated residual
value. In previous years, under SA GAAP, the estimated residual value was
not determined on recognition of the asset and was not subject to
reassessment. The Group now reassesses the residual value of its property,
plant and equipment at each reporting date.
Useful lives
The Group has reassessed the useful life of all property, plant and
equipment, to correct any useful lives that were previously assessed
incorrectly. In instances were the cost of items of property, plant and
equipment was fully depreciated the carrying value of such assets have been
adjusted to reflect the applicable useful life and residual value. In
future, useful lives will be reassessed at each reporting date.
Componentisation
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different
useful lives or residual values, those components are accounted for as
separate parts of items of property, plant and equipment.
Effects of IFRS adoption
The adoption of IFRS has resulted in a 0,7 cent increase in earnings per
share to 19,6 cents and a 0,8 cents increase in headline earnings per share
to 19,9 cents.
Segmental analysis
The primary basis of preparation of the segmental report is geographical
segments.
