of Pretoria. This data centre is a vendor & carrier neutral facility that features several unique data
centre capabilities including smart rack infrastructure, ultra-secure physical environment, and
connectivity vendor redundancy. Due to its location just outside the principal jurisdictions of many

construction. It has significant white space scalable on demand.

attributable to an increased loss allowance on trade receivables as well as increased
depreciation on the re-assessment of the useful lives of assets
• Gross profit margin improved to 49.3% from 39.6% in prior period
• Cash and cash equivalents reduced due to further investment in equipment as well as the
acquisition of the remaining 75% shares in ConexLink (subsequently renamed Ultra DataCentre)
• 6.40 cents per share dividend declared in the period to date
• Acquisition of 100% of Contineo and PerfectWorx successfully integrated
