(1) - Fundamental net income and earnings per share is GAAP net income and earnings per share excluding the effects related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, net of deferred taxes, non-tax deductible expenses related to the transaction that the Company ultimately decided not to pursue discussed below and stock-based compensation charges)

Since the Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”) but its functional currency is the South African rand (“ZAR”), and due to the significant impact of currency fluctuations between the USD and the ZAR on the Company’s results of operations, the Company also analyzes its results of operations in ZAR to assist investors in understanding the changes in the underlying trends of its business. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, the ZAR was significantly weaker against the USD than during the same periods in the prior year. The impact of these changes on results of operations is shown under the column “Change” in the tables of key metrics included at the end of this press release. In addition, results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, were favourably impacted by hardware sales to Nedbank Limited of $3.4 million (ZAR 22.6 million) and $5.6 million (ZAR 36.5 million), respectively.

Use of Non-GAAP measures

On July 3, 2006, the Company acquired Prism Holdings Limited (“Prism”) and has combined its results with those of the Company. Effective October 1, 2006, Prism acquired the remaining 25.1% of EasyPay (Pty) Ltd (“EasyPay”). Under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company is required to fair value all intangible assets on the date of acquisition and amortize these intangible assets over their expected useful lives. In addition, under GAAP, the Company is required to measure the fair value of options granted to Prism employees and other employees and recognize a stock-based compensation charge over the requisite service period. The Company’s results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 also include expenses relating to a potential acquisition that the Company ultimately determined not to pursue. The Company’s net income and earnings per common share and linked unit for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 includes the expenses related to this potential acquisition, amortization of Prism and EasyPay intangibles acquired as well as the stock-based compensation charge related to options granted to Prism employees and other employees. Attachment C presents a reconciliation between GAAP net income and earnings per common share and linked unit and measures of fundamental net income and fundamental earnings per common share and linked unit.

Management believes that these adjustments to net income and earnings per common share and linked unit enhance the Company’s evaluation of its performance. Therefore, the Company excludes these items from GAAP net income and earnings per common share and linked unit in calculating fundamental net income and earnings per common share and linked unit.


Financial results excluding Prism

The Company’s consolidated financial results excluding Prism’s consolidated financial results are attached as Attachment B.

Second Quarter Highlights

  • $185.2 million in transactions were processed through the Company’s merchant acquiring system in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to $118.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. During the three months ended December 31, 2006, 2,788,529 grants were paid through the Company’s terminal base, compared to 1,496,384 during the three months ended December 31, 2005;
  • 4,145 terminals were in use at 2,443 participating UEPS retail locations as of December 31, 2006, compared with 3,929 terminals in use at 2,366 locations as of December 31, 2005. These numbers were comparable to June 30, 2006. The number of transactions processed per terminal increased from 379 during the three months ended December 31, 2005, to 671 during the three months ended December 31, 2006;
  • UEPS transaction-based activities effected 11.3 million payments during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, a 9% increase over the number of payments effected during the second quarter of fiscal 2006;
  • A total of 3,790,813 UEPS smart card-based accounts were active at December 31, 2006, compared to 3,497,664 active accounts at December 31, 2005;
  • Prism acquired the remaining 25.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary share capital of EasyPay effective October 1, 2006 for approximately $8.8 million; and
  • EasyPay processed 117,626,419 transactions and generated an average fee per transaction of $0.03.

Comments and Outlook

“I am very pleased with our performance for the second quarter and our recent successes which resulted in the finalization of our banking license, the signing of VTU contracts in Colombia and Vietnam and the 15 month extension of all our pension and welfare contracts,” said Dr. Serge Belamant, Chairman and CEO of Net1. “I am especially pleased with the momentum we have gained in our international development with national tender submissions in both Nigeria and Ghana and new initiatives in Iraq and Indonesia. The need for our merchant acquiring system continues to be apparent with more than 20% growth in the number of beneficiaries serviced through this system since the November pay cycle. The refocusing of our Prism activities is starting to show potential in both the SIM and the bill payments markets. I therefore see no reason at this stage to review our earnings guidance for 2007,” he concluded.

About Net1 (www.net1ueps.com)

Net1 provides its universal electronic payment system, or UEPS, as an alternative payment system for the unbanked and under-banked populations of developing economies. The Company believes that it is the first company worldwide to implement a system that can enable the estimated four billion people who generally have limited or no access to a bank account to enter affordably into electronic transactions with each other, government agencies, employers, merchants and other financial service providers. To accomplish this, the Company has developed and deployed the UEPS. This system uses secure smart cards that operate in real-time but offline, unlike traditional payment systems offered by major banking institutions that require immediate access through a communications network to a centralized computer. This offline capability means that users of Net1’s system can enter into transactions at any time with other cardholders in even the most remote areas so long as a portable offline smart card reader is available. In addition to payments and purchases, Net1’s system can be used for banking, health care management, international money transfers, voting and identification.

The Company also focuses on the development and provision of secure transaction technology, solutions and services. The Company’s core competencies around secure online transaction processing, cryptography and integrated circuit card (chip/smart card) technologies are principally applied to electronic commerce transactions in the telecommunications, banking, retail, petroleum and utilities market sectors. These technologies form the cornerstones of the “trusted transactions” environment of Prism, a South African based subsidiary of the Company, and provide the Company with the building blocks for developing secure end-to-end payment solutions.

This announcement contains forward-looking statements pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed, implied or inferred by these forward-looking statements, such as implementation of the Company’s Prism strategy, product demand, market and customer acceptance, the effect of economic conditions, competition, pricing, development difficulties, foreign currency risks, costs of capital, the ability to consummate and integrate acquisitions, and other risks detailed in the Company’s SEC filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise any of these statements to reflect future circumstances or the occurrence of unanticipated events.

(1) – Amounts and percentages in this column exclude the consolidated results of Prism Holdings Limited.

(2) – This information shows what the change in these items would have been if the USD/ ZAR exchange rate that prevailed during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 also prevailed during the second quarter of fiscal 2006.


Three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 (continued)

(3) – Net income and earnings per share – basic for the three months ended December 31, 2006 are non-GAAP measures as they exclude the results of Prism for the three months ended December 31, 2006, the expense related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Prism acquisition and the stock-based compensation charge related to options granted to Prism employees. Accordingly, Prism’s net income of $1,183, or 2.0 cents is required to be added to the non-GAAP net income and earnings per shares – basic measures and the amortization expense of $858, or 1.5 cents, and the stock-based compensation charge of $304, or 0.5 cents, must be subtracted from the non-GAAP net income and earnings per share - basic measures provided in order to arrive at GAAP net income of $12,823, or 22.5 cents.

The Company believes it meaningful to present this information until the Prism integration is complete and the Company’s shareholders are able to better understand the implications of the Prism acquisition on the Company’s results.
