Chief Executive Officer's Statement

It has been a positive first half of the 2013 financial year. Our companies are now in a position to build on the solid foundations laid in 2012 and realize their growth potential. Revenues and gross profit are on a growth trajectory, EBITDA has taken a significant leap, operating losses have been dramatically reduced, the impact of cutting central costs is evident in the bottom line and share price depreciation has been stemmed.

Complacency is never an option. In growth businesses there are always fresh challenges, new areas to focus on and areas to improve. We are pushing forward with regional expansion and additional product lines for Millchem and Payserv and expect to see the impact on profitability in the coming periods. We remain conscious of the discount between our Net Assets and our market capitalization, and continue to look at prudent opportunities to unlock value for the benefit of shareholders.

Irrespective of country, election years always bring uncertainty in the run up to the anticipated election, as consumers hesitate and investors wait. Zimbabwe is no different. During the period under review, Zimbabwe experienced bursts of liquidity shortages, resulting in cautious consumer spending which directly contracted growth within our portfolio.

Following the credible electoral process witnessed in the recent constitutional referendum, Zimbabwe is moving towards harmonised presidential and parliamentary elections later this year. The country remains attractive in terms of strong fundamentals, positive GDP growth, a steady increase in FDI inflows and low inflation levels (2.91% in 2012) compared with neighbouring countries.

Following the agreement of a new constitution, investor interest in Zimbabwe continues to strengthen, as evidenced by the Zimbabwe High Level Investment Conference in Johannesburg this month. Senior Government officials from both parties presented to an audience of investors and there is parity across the board, and political will to continue to encourage and support investment in the country.

Results for the Period

During the period under review, revenues and gross profit of Cambria grew to US$ 6.5 million (2012 US$ 6.4 million) and US$ 3.62 million (2012 US$ 3.55 million) respectively, representing corresponding growth of 1.98% and 2.06% compared to the same period in 2012.

Consolidated revenue and gross profit of Cambria's four main investments was US$ 6.5 million and US$ 3.6 million during the period under review, compared to US$ 5.7 and US$ 3.4 million last year, representing an increase of 14.0% and 5.3%, respectively. Gross profit growth was significantly impacted by year-on-year shrinkage at the Leopard Rock Hotel, where gross profits decreased by 16%.

Operating loss for the period under review was US$ 1.8 million, compared to US$ 15.1 million for the equivalent period last year, a considerable decrease of 88%. Cambria's loss per share for the period was 3.7c, compared to 28.6c for the same period last year representing a decrease of 87%.

As at February 28, 2013, the Company had net assets of US$ 21.8 million (2012 US$ 36.2 million), representing a 135% premium to its current market capitalization of US$ 9.25 million. Cambria's assets, following the various write-offs undertaken in the period ending 31 August 2012 are almost entirely tangible (US$ 33.2 million or 94%).

As indicated in the Annual Report for FY2012, the Board is cognisant of the disparity between the value of the Company's net assets and its market capitalization on the AIM market, especially given the growth rates of its investments, and its increasingly attractive outlook towards group wide profitability. As such, and as long as this position continues, the Board will continue to review strategic alternatives for all of its investments to unlock (and/or make more apparent) some of the value built-up within its underlying investments. The outcome of this review may lead to, but may not be limited to, a potential sale of certain assets.

On 1 October 2012 the Company raised US$ 1.4 million gross by way of a placing with institutions of 8,615,115 new ordinary par value shares of GBP0.0001 each at 10p per share.

Operational Review Main Investments

Consolidated results of main investments

Cambria's main investments consist of Payserv, The Leopard Rock Hotel, Millchem and Celsys. These investments jointly had a consolidated performance as per the following table:

 
 (US$ '000)       H1 2013   H1 2012   Growth 
 Revenues           6,499     5,704      14% 
 Gross profit       3,623     3,440       5% 
 Gross margin         56%       60%     (8%) 
 SG&A               3,506     3,396       3% 
 EBITDA               117        44     166% 
 EBITDA margin         2%        1%     133% 
 

Payserv and Millchem generated positive EBITDA each, whereas Celsys and The Leopard Rock Hotel traded at an EBITDA loss. Growth in gross profits was significantly impacted by a 16% decrease in gross profits generated by the Leopard Rock Hotel.

Payserv (100% holding)

Payserv, previously trading as Paynet Group, provides EDI switching services (Paynet), 'payslip' processing (Autopay), and payroll based microfinance loan processing (Tradanet (51% holding))

 
 (US$ '000)       H1 2013   H1 2012   Growth 
 Revenues           2,137     1,925      11% 
 Gross profit       1,918     1,748      10% 
 Gross margin         90%       91%     (1%) 
 SG&A               1,467     1,161      26% 
 EBITDA               451       587    (23%) 
 EBITDA margin        21%       30%    (31%) 
 

Paynet continues to provide Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) services to all 22 banks and building societies in Zimbabwe, as well as to over 1,500 corporates. Paynet processed 7.2 million transactions (2012: 6.0 million) during the period under review, a 20% increase.

Autopay provides payroll services to 150 customers and processed over 143k pay slips (2012: 140k) during the period under review, or a 0.2% increase.

Tradanet has seen growth in the volume and value of loans processed, which grew to 35,826 (2012: 32,000) and US$ 69.5 million (2011: US$ 63.2 million) respectively, representing 12% and 10% increases respectively. At the end of the period the loan book under management stood at US$ 103 million (2012: US$ 73 million), an increase of 41% when compared to last year.

Payserv has invested significant capital into product upgrades, new product applications and offerings, as well as entry into the Zambian market. Conservatively, these investments have not yet been capitalized and therefore directly impacted the income statement during the period under review by approximately US$ 230k.

Had this investment made over the period under review been capitalized, Payserv would have achieved a 16% increase in EBITDA, compared to a reported decrease of 23%. The positive effects of this investment should come through in the coming periods through enhanced revenue growth as well as diversification of revenue streams.

Leopard Rock Hotel Company (Pvt) Limited (Leopard Rock Hotel) (100% holding)

The Leopard Rock Hotel is a four star hotel and resort located in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe. Its world-class golf course has been noted as one of the finest in Africa. It also has a family-friendly game park, casino and some of the finest food in Zimbabwe.

 
 (US$ '000)       H1 2013   H1 2012   Growth 
 Revenues           1,198     1,402    (15%) 
 Gross profit         926     1,098    (16%) 
 Gross margin         77%       78%     (1%) 
 SG&A               1,156     1,326    (13%) 
 EBITDA             (230)     (228)     (1%) 
 EBITDA margin      (19%)     (16%)    (18%) 
 

The Leopard Rock Hotel is managed by Lonrho Hotels under a Hotel Management Agreement.

When compared to last year, the Leopard Rock Hotel saw occupancies of 54% (2012: 64 %), a decrease of 16%. Average room rates decreased by 23% to US$ 87 (2012: US$ 113). RevPar for the period was US$ 47, when compared to US$ 72 for the same period last year.

The Hotel continues to operate at a loss and Cambria has repeatedly expressed its dissatisfaction about the performance of the Hotel to Lonrho Hotels. If the operating issues do not improve over the coming periods, Cambria will review further strategic and operating alternatives, which may lift performance of its investment the Leopard Rock Hotel.

Millchem (100% holding)

Millchem, previously trading as Millpal, is a value-added chemicals distributor with leading market positions in Zimbabwe in solvents and metal treatment products. It recently started distributing mining chemicals and alkyds.

 
 US$ '000         H1 2013   H1 2012   Growth 
 Revenues           2,154     1,421      52% 
 Gross profit         438       304      44% 
 Gross margin         20%       21%     (5%) 
 SG&A                 410       399       3% 
 EBITDA                28      (95)       NA 
 EBITDA margin         1%      (7%)       NA 
 

The significant gross profit growth achieved by Millchem over the period resulted from continued expansion of Millchem's core solvent business, increased diversification into new, more specialized product lines (e.g. alkyd resins, mining chemicals, other), entry into new market sectors, and through sourcing product at much improved terms including entry into bulk markets.

Millchem has been able to make initial sales into Zambia and Malawi and will continue to actively pursue regional expansion.

Millchem is the only African member of the National Association of Chemicals Distributors (NACD), the U.S. industry association for value added chemicals distributors, making it a natural partner in the future for U.S. chemicals producers seeking distribution in Zimbabwe.

Celsys (60% holding)

Celsys is arguably one of the best-equipped printers in Zimbabwe. As a result, it commands leading market positions in security and commercial printing.

 
 (US$ '000)       H1 2013   H1 2012   Growth 
 Revenues           1,009       957       6% 
 Gross profit         341       291      17% 
 Gross margin         34%       30%      11% 
 SG&A                 473       510     (7%) 
 EBITDA             (132)     (220)      40% 
 EBITDA margin      (13%)     (23%)      43% 
 

Celsys has become focused on its print division and has made significant strides turning an undercapitalized, 'sub-scale' printer into one of the industry leaders in Zimbabwe. Significant further investment into Celsys will be required by Cambria to bring Celsys to the next level, a sustainably profitable multi-line print concern.

Transactions processed through Celsys' legacy ATM division continue to grow. Transactions during the period under review, which directly relate to revenue, were 968k (2012: 822k), an increase of 18%. With Celsys' core business being printing, Cambria does not intend any further investment in the ATM division.

On 8 May 2012 Cambria stated its intention to acquire the remaining 40% of Celsys' shares not already owned by the Company. On 29 May 2012, Celsys' shareholders approved their takeover by Cambria. This completion of this process is subject to Cambria listing on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE).

Cambria previously announced on 31 August 2012 that its proposed listing on the (ZSE) had been rescheduled to take place following the publication of its audited results for the year ended 31 August 2012. In the interim, Celsys Limited has been suspended from trading on the ZSE, effective from 28 August 2012 subject to and until the proposed ZSE listing of Cambria. Cambria advises that it continues to engage the ZSE with regard to the proposed listing and will provide a further update in due course.

Other and corporate overheads

ForgetMeNot Africa Limited (FMNA) (51% holding)

On February 14, 2013, Cambria announced the completion of the sale of its 51% stake in FMNA, a mobile phone technology venture, to ForgetMeNot Software Limited (FMN), its joint venture partner in FMNA. Proceeds of the sale of US$ 250k, which are payable on achieving certain milestones or at latest 24 months from completion of the sale, have been accounted for as a contingent asset.

FMNA generated US$ 17k (2012: US$ 1.6 million) in operating losses during the period under review.

Diospyros Investments (Private) Limited (t/a "CES Zimbabwe") (CES) (100% holding)

CES Zimbabwe, which provides IT services, is jointly managed by Cambria and Complete Enterprise Solutions Mauritius (CES Mauritius) through a franchise agreement between CES Mauritius and Cambria sharing investment, risk and profits in CES.

On August 24, 2012, Cambria announced it had executed agreements related to the conditional sale of its shares in Diospyros Investments (Pvt) Ltd (Diospyros) to CES Mauritius. Under this agreement, Cambria is to receive US$ 0.2 million from CES Mauritius for the shares, completion of which is conditional on certain regulatory approvals being obtained. As of the date of this report these regulatory approvals had not yet been received.

CES Zimbabwe generated US$ 98k (2012: US$ 90k) in operating losses during the period under review.

LonZim Air (B.V.I.) Limited (100% holding)

LonZim Air incurred US$ 104k in operating losses for the period under review, largely related to legal expenses related to the various disputes it has with 540 (Uganda) Limited and Five Forty Aviation Limited (jointly "540") related to three aircraft which were previously owned by LonZim Air and leased to 540.

Corporate overheads

Cambria incurred US$ 1.2 million in central costs for the period under review, compared to US$ 3.6 million last year, a reduction of 67%.

Closing statement

In 2012 Cambria had a clear vision of what needed to be done to strengthen the portfolio. 2013 is a time for patience and tenacity as we allow the strategic measures implemented to do what they were designed to do. Moreover, 2013 is a time for exploring regional opportunities to capitalize on the success built in Zimbabwe.

As in the past our objective remains the same: To relentlessly pursue value for our shareholders.
