1. COMPANY PROFILE
TeleMasters is a specialist tele-management and business communicationstrategy player operating exclusively in the South African corporatemarket. It is now a full ICASA licensed Fixed Line Service Provider.The Company provides current and future clients access to the mostefficient and effective digital telecommunication technologies.
2. FINANCIAL RESULTS
2.1 Statement of compliance and basis of preparationThe provisional reviewed financial information for the year ended30 September 2011 has been presented in accordance with theframework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirementsof International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), theinformation required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, theSouth African Companies Act, as amended, the AC500 Standards asissued by the Accounting Practices Board and the JSE ListingsRequirements. The results have been prepared in accordance withaccounting policies of the Company that are in terms of IFRS andare consistent with those applied in the audited annual financialstatements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
These results were prepared under the supervision of Brandon TophamCA (SA) and have been reviewed by BOO South Africa Incorporated,whose unmodified review opinion is open for inspection at theCompany's registered office.
2.2 Commentary on operating results
The last financial year has been a transitional operational period.Due to the changes in the telecoms environment, the technologyutilised by the Group to provide telecommunication access to ourclients is being upgraded to that of a fully licensed fixed lineoperator. This transition is taking place at clients where greatersavings can be offered by embracing the new technology which wehave implemented to make cost efficient, clear and reliable voicecalls. Thus we utilise different platforms for different clientsdepending on the circumstances and needs of the client. Thistransition is taking longer than expected due to various system andsales changes we have needed to develop. The changing of theplatform away from pure cellular least-cost routing has meant agreater investment in time and to a lesser degree capital, to tweakthe offering which has only become fully marketable in the lastquarter of the year. This change is important for the Group in thelonger term as the margins from the fixed line operation are moresustainable and potentially more profitable.
Our Revenue growth of 13% is on the back of the sale of airtime toa large once off client. These sales of R85 210 724 are notexpected to be a recurring business in the new year. The growth andstabilisation of the Group's revenue in the new year is anticipatedto be on the back of our fixed line platform. The reduction in thedifferential due to changes in the interconnect rates resulted insmaller clients agreements being mutually terminated. Our business
model remains strictly based on ensuring that healthy operatingmargins take preference over revenue which is not profitable. Webelieve that our pruning efforts will assist in the growth in thecoming years as our Group's attention will not be misdirected topoor profitability business relationships.
Significant expenses are set out in the Condensed ConsolidatedStatement of Comprehensive Income. Depreciation has increased by20% on the back of the capital purchased during the preceding andcurrent financial years to enable our new technology platform to beimplemented.
The rise in the operating lease is a direct result of the move inDecember 2010 to new larger premises in the Route 21 CorporateOffice Park.
The Company remains cash positive despite paying out 17 cents(2010: 14 cents) per share in dividends and reducing long termborrowings to the point that during the next financial period wewill once again be almost debt free. Our net asset value per shareincreased 9.5% to 78.40 cents per share after paying out 71% of ourearnings to shareholders as we did not require the cash for growthduring this transitory period to fixed line operator.
Earnings per share grew by 27.94% over the past year during adifficult operating environment in the telecommunications industry.The decision to not renew long term contracts on the cellularservice platform can be clearly seen by the lack of connectionincentive bonus received. This decision has enabled us to be in aposition to move our platform from least-cost routing to fixed lineoperator. The full financial effect of this will only becomeevident in the medium term.

6. FUTURE PROSPECTS
The boardprospectscellularcontinues
of directors ("BoardU) is confident about the futureof the Company, as the conversion from its traditional
least-cost routing business to an ICASA licensed businessto take place. However the Board points out that the
conversion process will take a longer period before the increased
profi tabili ty will be realised. This, combined with the poor tradingconditions currently in South Africa, has resulted in the Board takinga cautious view regarding the working capital of the Group andprudently deciding to recommend a lower dividend than previously paid.This will have the effect that the Group is able to self-fund theswitch-over to the services of a fixed line operator. The Board willtake every effort to ensure that the Group remains profitable and cashflush but cautions shareholders that dividends may be lower during thenext few quarters until trading conditions improve.
