Factors impacting comparability of our Q1 2014 and Q1 2013 results

--  Unfavorable impact from the strengthening of the US dollar against the
    ZAR: The US dollar appreciated by 21% against the ZAR during Q1 2014
    which negatively impacted our reported results;
--  SASSA implementation complete: Our SASSA contract implementation is
    complete and Q1 2014 was the first full quarter without any
    implementation-related expenditure since the tender was awarded to us in
    January 2012. We incurred implementation-related expenditure, including
    smart card costs, of approximately $15.8 million during Q1 2013;
--  Higher revenue resulting from an increase in low-margin prepaid airtime
    sales: Our revenue has increased as a result of the deployment of our
    Umoya Manje prepaid airtime offering during the quarter, which has lower
    margins compared with our other South African businesses;
--  National rollout of our financial services offering: We commenced the
    national roll out of our financial services offering during Q1 2014,
    which resulted in higher revenue from UEPS-based loans. Profitability in
    the financial services segment however was lower due to rollout costs,
    including hiring and training of additional staff and infrastructure
    deployment;
--  Ad hoc hardware sales in fiscal 2014: We sold more terminals and cards
    during Q1 2014 as a result of ad hoc orders received from our customers;
    and
--  DOJ and SEC investigation-related expenses: We incurred DOJ and SEC
    investigation-related expenses of $2.1 million during Q1 2014.

Letter of Intent for New Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment ("BEE") Transaction

On November 6, 2013, we signed a letter of intent to issue 4,400,000 shares ("BVI Shares"), which will be contractually restricted as to resale as described below, of our common stock at a price of ZAR 88.50 per share (calculated as 75% of the closing price of our common stock on the JSE Limited on November 5, 2013) to Business Venture Investments 1567 (Proprietary) Limited (RF) ("BVI"), a special purpose entity owned by a BEE consortium, pursuant to a new BEE transaction. Issuance of the BVI Shares is subject to the conclusion of a Relationship Agreement before December 1, 2013, which will include certain conditions, including obtaining the relevant regulatory approvals. Under certain circumstances we may call the BVI Shares then owned, in exchange for a minority interest in our wholly-owned subsidiary Cash Paymaster Service Proprietary Limited.

Similar to our January 2012 proposed BEE transaction, the lead partner in the BEE consortium is Mosomo Investment Holdings (Pty) Ltd, a well-known black empowerment investment company headed by former Net1 non-executive director Brian Mosehla, with a proven track record in transformation, and with experience in mining, financial services and mass banking concepts. Other partners in the BEE consortium will include community-focused organizations led by black women and community development enterprises.

This BEE transaction is part of our efforts to strengthen the development of our business plan, and is in compliance with South African regulation and business practice. Our actions in support of achieving a stronger BEE standing build on our prior efforts, and the proposed structure is similar to transactions pursued by other leading South African companies across multiple industries.

The letter of intent provides that BVI will pay the purchase price of ZAR 88.50 per share in ZAR. The BVI Shares will be locked-up for a period of five years from date of issue, with the exception of periodic sales in order to fund the repayment of the loan and related interest as described below.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Net1 Applied Technologies South Africa Proprietary Limited, will lend BVI the funds to effect the purchase of the BVI Shares and these shares will act as the collateral on the loan. The key terms of the loan are:

--  The loan will bear interest at rate equal to Johannesburg Interbank rate
    ("JIBAR") (currently 550 basis points) plus 300 basis points;
--  The loan principal is to be repaid as follows; 10% each after the first
    and second years, 15% each after the third and fourth years, and 50%
    after the fifth year. Interest payments on the loan are due semi-
    annually;
--  After five years, Net1 will have the right, but not the obligation, to
    repurchase all or any portion of any remaining shares; and
--  The loan will be repaid in full using the proceeds from the sale of a
    sufficient amount of BVI Shares if our share price is or exceeds ZAR
    177.00 per share (200% of ZAR 88.50 per share) on the JSE at any time
    during term of the loan. As of November 5, 2013, our closing price on
    the JSE was ZAR 118.00 per share.

Comments and Outlook

"I am very pleased with our first quarter 2014 results and the tangible progress we are making on executing our business strategy now that our SASSA implementation is complete," said Dr. Serge Belamant, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Net1. "Net1 Mobile Solutions has demonstrated significant traction with the roll out of its mobile-based prepaid airtime product, "Umoya Manje" and our financial services business unit has now commenced its UEPS-based lending activities nationally. We are also reviewing some of our underperforming businesses and contracts, and have begun to take steps to rationalize the same in order to focus on our key growth areas," he concluded.

Regarding the new BEE transaction Dr. Belamant added, "We are delighted to have agreed new terms with our empowerment partners following the expiration of the previous option transaction. As before, we remain convinced that it is imperative for us to conclude a meaningful empowerment transaction to express our commitment to the principles and objectives of BEE and compliance with the established codes of good practice and transformation charters, while balancing the interests of our global shareholders in order to create a platform for a successful and sustainable South African business. We believe that we will achieve this goal with the terms we have agreed for this new BEE transaction, including the provision of financial assistance to our BEE partners to ensure the implementation of the transaction," he concluded.

"With our one-time implementation costs now behind us, we expect to continue demonstrating a marked improvement in year-over-year profitability during fiscal 2014," said Herman Kotze, Chief Financial Officer of Net1. "Taking into account our anticipated issuance of 4.4 million shares as part of our proposed BEE transaction, for fiscal 2014, we continue to expect fundamental earnings per share of at least $1.50, assuming a constant currency base of ZAR 8.71/$1. The share count assumption in our guidance represents our fiscal 2013 weighted-average share count of approximately 45.7 million shares plus approximately 2.5 million weighted-average number of shares related to the proposed BEE transaction," he concluded.

SASSA tender award litigation: Constitutional Court has not ruled yet

On September 10, 2013, the South African Constitutional Court heard oral arguments on the appeal by AllPay Consolidated Investment Holdings (Pty) Ltd, or AllPay, against the ruling by the South African Supreme Court of Appeal upholding the award of the SASSA tender to us. The Constitutional Court has reserved judgment. We cannot predict when or how it will rule on the matter.

Results of Operations by Segment and Liquidity

Our frequently asked questions and operating metrics will be updated and posted on our website (www.net1.com).

South African transaction-based activities

Segment revenue was $63.0 million in Q1 2014, up 3% compared with Q1 2013 in USD and up 24% on a constant currency basis. In ZAR, the increases in segment revenue were primarily due to more low-margin transaction fees generated from beneficiaries using the South African National Payment System, incremental prepaid airtime sales driven by the rollout of our Umoya Manje product. Segment operating income margin was 21% and 10%, respectively, and increased primarily due to the elimination of SASSA implementation costs in Q1 2014. Excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, Q1 2014 segment operating income margin was 22% compared with 13% in Q1 2013.

International transaction-based activities

KSNET continues to contribute the majority of our revenues and operating income in this operating segment. Segment revenue was $36.8 million in Q1 2014, up 16% compared with Q1 2013 in USD and 41% on a constant currency basis. The increase in segment revenue was primarily due to KSNET's revenue growth during Q1 2014 and was offset by the expiration and non-renewal of NUETS' contract with its Iraqi customer in Q3 2013. Operating income during Q1 2014 was negatively impacted by the loss of this contract as well as ongoing losses related to our XeoHealth launch in the United States and at Net1 Virtual Card as well as ongoing competition in the Korean marketplace, but was partially offset by increased revenue contributions from KSNET. Excluding the amortization of intangibles, Q1 2014 operating income margin was 14% compared to 9% during Q1 2013.

Smart card accounts

Segment revenue was $11.3 million in Q1 2014, up 35% compared with Q1 2013 in USD and 64% on a constant currency basis and increased as a result of the increase in the number of smart card accounts. Segment operating income margin from providing smart card accounts for Q1 2014 and 2013 was 28% and 29%, respectively.

Financial services

UEPS-based lending contributes the majority of the revenue and operating income in this segment. Segment revenue was $2.4 million in Q1 2014, up 75% compared with Q1 2013 in USD and 112% higher on a constant currency basis, principally due to the substantial increase in the number of loans granted as we rolled out our product nationally. Q1 2014 segment operating income margin was 2% compared with 79% during Q1 2013 primarily due to start-up expenses incurred to roll the product out nationally and the re-allocation of UEPS-based lending corporate and administration overhead expenses. Smart Life did not contribute to operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as it is currently unable to issue new insurance policies as a result of the suspension of its license by the Financial Services Board in fiscal 2013.

Hardware, software and related technology sales

Segment revenue was $9.9 million in Q1 2014, up 11% compared with Q1 2013 in USD and 34% on a constant currency basis. The increase in revenue and operating income resulted from more ad hoc terminal and smart card sales. Excluding amortization of all intangibles, segment operating income margin was 31% compared to 23% during Q1 2013.

Corporate/eliminations

The increase in our corporate expenses resulted primarily from legal fees we incurred in connection with the DOJ and SEC investigations and other corporate head office-related expenses.

Cash flow and liquidity

At September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $47.7 million, down from $53.7 million at June 30, 2013. The decrease in our cash balances from June 30, 2013, was primarily due to the expansion of our UEPS-based lending business, offset by cash generated from operations. For Q1 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $1.7 million compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $25.7 million in Q1 2013.

Excluding the impact of interest received, interest paid under our Korean debt and taxes, the decrease in cash from operating activities resulted from the expansion of our UEPS-based lending book and the timing of prefunding related to the October 2013 payment cycle, offset by improved cash generated from operating activities and the elimination of implementation costs related to our SASSA contract in fiscal 2014. Capital expenditures for Q1 2014 and 2013 were $5.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively, and have decreased primarily due to lower capital expenditures as our SASSA contract implementation is now complete.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

US securities laws require that when we publish any non-GAAP measures, we disclose the reason for using the non-GAAP measure and provide reconciliation to the directly comparable GAAP measure. The presentation of fundamental net income and fundamental earnings per share and headline earnings per share are non-GAAP measures.

Fundamental net income and fundamental earnings per share

Fundamental net income and earnings per share is GAAP net income and earnings per share adjusted for (1) the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets (net of deferred taxes), (2) stock-based compensation charges and (3) unusual non- recurring items, including the amortization of KSNET debt facility fees, as well as (a) in fiscal 2014, DOJ and SEC investigations-related expenses; and (b) in fiscal 2013, acquisition-related costs. Management believes that the fundamental net income and earnings per share metric enhances its own evaluation, as well as an investor's understanding, of our financial performance. Attachment B presents the reconciliation between GAAP and fundamental net income and earnings per share.

Headline earnings per share ("HEPS")

The inclusion of HEPS in this press release is a requirement of our listing on the JSE. HEPS basic and diluted is calculated using net income which has been determined based on GAAP. Accordingly, this may differ to the headline earnings per share calculation of other companies listed on the JSE as these companies may report their financial results under a different financial reporting framework, including but not limited to, International Financial Reporting Standards.

HEPS basic and diluted is calculated as GAAP net income adjusted for the profit on sale of property, plant and equipment, net of related tax effects. Attachment C presents the reconciliation between our net income used to calculate earnings per share basic and diluted and HEPS basic and diluted and the calculation of the denominator for headline diluted earnings per share.

Weighted average number of shares used to calculate headline earnings per share diluted represent the denominator for basic weighted-average common shares outstanding and unvested restricted shares expected to vest plus the effect of dilutive securities under GAAP. We use this number of fully-diluted shares outstanding to calculate headline earnings per share diluted because we do not use the two-class method to calculate headline earnings per share diluted.
