COMMENTARY

OVERVIEW

The Group has endured a difficult trading period over the last
financial year. The vast majority of its operations are exposed
to the South African economy and so, given that there has been
little or no growth in South Africa during this period, it would
be of no surprise to advise shareholders that this has been a
challenging operating environment. Notwithstanding, the
investments made into new businesses have helped increase revenue
and Alviva’s existing businesses have produced a resilient
performance to allow the Group to maintain its returns to
shareholders.

PROSPECTS

The outlook for the year to 30 June 2020 is unclear. The economy
is under huge pressure with little or no apparent appetite for
investment. Much needs to be done to turn around confidence in
the business arena. Notwithstanding these factors, the Group has
well established businesses with solid experienced management in
place that have shown themselves to be adept at growing revenues
during times of hardship. In addition, the new acquisitions that
have been brought into the Group recently offer exciting
prospects. We remain cautiously optimistic albeit that we are
surrounded by despondency.
