COMMENTARY

1. NOTES TO THE SUMMARISED AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

1.1   BASIS OF PREPARATION

The summarised consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listing
Requirements for abridged reports, and the requirements of the
Companies Act applicable to summary financial statements. The
listing requirements require abridged reports to be prepared in
accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and
recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as
issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and the Financial
Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting
Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the
information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The
accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements, from which the summary consolidated
financial statements were derived, are in terms of International
Financial Reporting Standards and are consistent with the
accounting policies applied in the preparation of the previous
consolidated annual financial statements.

This consolidated abridged report is extracted from audited
information, but is not itself audited. PricewaterhouseCoopers
Inc audited the financial statements for the year ended 30 June
2018 and expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial
statements. For a better understanding of the Group’s financial

1.3 EARNINGS PER SHARE

BASIC EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE

Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the
profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the
parent, of R5.9 million (2017: R13.1 million) by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year of
29 million (2017: 31.3 million).

2. CORPORATE ACTIVITY

2.1. DIVIDEND

The directors have declared and approved a final gross dividend of
4.5 cents per share for the year ended 30 June 2018 from income
reserves.

The following dates will apply to the abovementioned final
dividend:

Last day to trade cum dividend:    Tuesday,    9 October 2018
Trading ex-dividend commences:     Wednesday, 10 October 2018
Record date:                       Friday,    12 October 2018
Dividend payment date:             Monday,    15 October 2018

Share certificates may not be dematerialised or re-materialised
between Wednesday, 10 October 2018 and Friday, 12 October 2018,
both days inclusive.

The dividend is made from income reserves and is subject to
dividend withholding tax of 20% which results in a net dividend of
3.6 cents per share. In determining the dividends tax (DT) of 20%
to withhold in terms of the Income Tax Act (No. 58 of 1962) for
those shareholders who are not exempt from the DT Shareholders who
are not exempt from the DT will therefore receive a dividend of
(dividend multiplied by 80%) cents per share net of DT. The
company has 34 781 471 ordinary shares in issue as at 30 June 2018
and its income tax reference number is 9841087647.

The above dates are subject to change. Any changes will be
released on SENS. Where applicable, dividends in respect of
certificated shares will be transferred electronically to
shareholders` bank accounts on the payment date. In the absence of
specific mandates, dividend cheques will be posted to
shareholders. Ordinary shareholders who hold dematerialised shares
will have their accounts at their CSDP or broker credited/updated
on Monday, 15 October 2018.

3. AUDIT REPORT

The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 have been
audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. with Pienaar Zietsman as
the designated partner. Their unmodified audit report is available
for inspection at the Company’s registered office.
4. RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

The board of directors recommend the re-appointment of PwC
Incorporated, as the independent external auditors for the
2018/2019 financial year.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to year end the directors have declared and approved a
final gross dividend of 4.5 cents on 10 September 2018 for the
year ended 30 June 2018 from income reserves. Other than the
dividend distribution referred to above, no events occurred
subsequent to the year end that would require adjustment to a
disclosure on the summarised consolidated financial statements.

6. FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE

There were several highlights in the past financial year, despite
a generally tough environment driven by market uncertainty. We
have added new clients and solidified our strong position in the
African market as a provider of innovative solutions that solve
business challenges. However, the impact of the slowing South
African economy and political uncertainty contributed to a general
slowdown in customer spend and delays in decision-making for new
solutions.

Revenue was up 2%, with 83% of total revenue being annuity based.
Gross profit was up 4%. However, operating profit was down 36%,
impacted by an increase in indirect costs and once-off impacts
relating to a provision for doubtful debt and a prior year
reversal of the provision for leave pay as reported in the interim
period. Net profit declined by 55%.

Cashflow was good and our cash position increased to R13.5 million
from R11.5 million at the previous year end. The balance sheet
remains healthy and debt free.

Our client relationships continued to strengthen with efforts into
value-added engagements driven by new offerings and our cloud-
based hosting and managed services. While the drop in earnings is
disappointing we are pleased that the performance in the second
half of the year showed improvement and that we continued to
strengthen and grow our annuity software rental segment. The
investment made in the previous two years to enable growth of our
new offerings positions us well for the future.
Included in the earnings figures is an expense for the accounting
of the cost related to the share option scheme in accordance with
IFRS 2, totaling R 1 189 609 for F2018 (F2017: R 721 133). IFRS 2
requires an upfront valuation of the expected value that staff
will receive from the options and then requires this to be
expensed over the period of the scheme. The expense remains fixed
irrespective of the future movement in the share price and the
actual number of shares exercised.

Given the recent reduction in the SilverBridge share price and
comparing it to the option exercise price, we believe that the
IFRS 2 accounting treatment has the potential to be materially
misleading in terms of the actual impact on the group’s
performance.

The expense included has no cashflow impact on the group and
ignores the fact the likely number of shares to be issued to staff
be will be significantly lower than the number used in the
calculation due to the lower share price. While the resulting
expense negatively impacts the earnings annually, any reversal
created through the accounting of this expense if options are not
exercised or are done so at a lower value is done through a
reclassification of equity from the share-based payment reserve to
retained earnings.

SEGMENTAL REVIEW

Implementation services

This segment implements our solutions for clients and is project
based.

Revenue increased by 2%. The gross margin decreased from 49% to
44% because of a decision to do a specific project (in the first
half) at a lower margin to open up an opportunity of a potential
multiple country roll-out for a large African insurer.

After the allocation of indirect costs, the segment posted a small
loss. This was further impacted by the provision for doubtful debt
that was raised in the first half of the year. This relates to a
new customer for which an implementation was completed but did not
yet go live. The customer has been involved in a legal dispute
which placed strain on its business and they have been unable to
pay. We have subsequently taken action against the customer to
recover the outstanding amount but given the uncertainty
surrounding their ability to ultimately pay, we have raised the
provision.

We remain happy with our implementation delivery model and
continue to secure new contracts in the small to medium sized
market in South Africa and the rest of Africa.

Support services

Support is contracted on a monthly basis and is annuity based.

Revenue decreased by 4% from lower demand for additional support
and a slowdown in spending from existing customers. The result was
further impacted by higher indirect costs. The segment posted a
loss of R2.1 million compared to a profit of R0.3 million in the
comparative period.

We continue to focus on additional higher value-added offerings in
this segment. Despite the tough economic climate, we are seeing a
pickup in the uptake of these offerings.

Hosting and outsourcing services

This segment provides a range of complimentary managed services to
our clients. The services include cloud-based hosting, outsourced
technical services and full business process outsourcing.

This segment is important for the Group as it enables us to offer
additional services to existing clients as well as make our
offerings appeal to a wider range of potential clients. It also
helps keep our offerings relevant regarding technology trends.

We are pleased by the growth in revenue of 62% to R5.1 million.
This was from new deals being concluded. The segment posted a
profit of R0.3 million.

We secured our first fully outsourced South African client under
our Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) license, previously
the Financial Services Board (FSB). Our license and experience
gained here bodes well for the future.

We remain satisfied with the progress thus far and the
opportunities that lie ahead. We envisage the segment becoming a
larger contributor to profit as it achieves more scale.

Software rental and maintenance

Software rental is annuity based.

Revenue was up 2% impacted by the loss of rental earned from the
last client on the older SDT Life platform. The Exergy portion of
our software rental grew by 9%. The segment made a profit of
R31 million, compared to R34 million in the prior year, with
overall margins of 72% and 81% respectively. The overall segment
margin declined from 81% to 72% from a planned increase in spend
on maintenance of our Exergy software and a higher allocation of
indirect costs.

Our software and the growth of our annuity rental stream remain a
core focus going forward.

Research and development (“R&D”)

We continue to invest into the future of the business. In the year
we invested into both the development of new software, as well as
Insurtech focused research. We are pleased with the progress.

During the period, total direct costs were R11.1 million, of which
R5.5 million was capitalised. This is from enhancements to our
Exergy software and new stand-alone software products, both of
which open up new markets.

Indirect Cost

Indirect costs increased by 19% during the period. This increase
was significantly influenced by the two once-off impacts relating
to a provision for doubtful debt and a prior year reversal of the
provision for leave pay as reported in the interim period. Without
these two impacts, indirect costs increased by 9%. This was driven
by increased costs in our marketing and technology support
divisions, which are necessary to enable growth in revenue from
our new offerings.

7. GROUP OUTLOOK

We remain positive about the future despite a challenging period.
Although economic conditions are suppressed, we have seen an
increase in optimism in our market. We continue to build our core
annuity streams which will drive improved revenue growth for the
group.

We are pleased with the contribution that new initiatives are
starting to make to the group, albeit slower than expected. We are
excited about our product development and we remain optimistic
that our efforts will help enable sustained growth.

The financial services industry continues to face significant
challenges and increased competition to meet its customers’
changing needs in an increasingly digital world. This results in
many of our existing and potential clients searching for solutions
to enable them to adapt quickly and more effectively. SilverBridge
remains well positioned to meet these needs. It presents us with
opportunities to create platforms that can help the industry to
adapt and continues guiding our product development initiatives.
