26. www.altron.co.za Telecoms Risks and opportunities Risks Slowing of growth in SA mobile market International weakness in demand for infrastructural telecoms products Delays in SNO provides no incentive for Telkom to expand network Need for GSM-based vehicle tracking product Opportunities SNO – when it happens! Mobile opportunities in Africa – world’s largest unexploited territory NamITech provides entry into SIM and pre-paid voucher market SAPS Gauteng tender and Free State government opportunity Altron action Extended Autopage agreements with SA mobile operators Reduced exposure to infrastructure segment Right-sized fibre optic business Key successes in African markets for SIM cards and pre-paid vouchers GSM-based vehicle tracking product developed and launched

27. www.altron.co.za Multimedia & Power electronics Risks and opportunities Risks Strong rand environment Increased competition in low-end set top boxes Rising interest rates High base of power electronics Supply of copper Opportunities Infrastructure spend in SA region to remain strong Major projects in mining and industrial sectors announced Strong order book at UEC World Cup 2010 Regional electricity distribution supply (REDS) Altron action Currency hedging in place for both imports and exports Developed and received orders for high-end STB’s (PVR, etc.) Capital expenditure in power electronics focused on efficiencies – not additional capacity Developing alternate suppliers of copper

28. www.altron.co.za Information Technology Risks and opportunities Risks BEE landscape and ICT Charter Market conditions in UK IT sector Exchange rate impact on major imports Pressure on pricing Opportunities Improving market conditions for IT sector Addressable market enhanced through BEE credentials Europay/Mastercard/Visa (EMV) standard Security (PKI’s and digital certificates) is growth area Altron action Empowerment deals concluded at BTG SA and NamITech Complete offering relating to EMV Increased level of annuity income to fight price erosion and establish barriers to entry Streamline and consolidate UK businesses

29. www.altron.co.za Growth strategies going forward Altech growth to be driven by a combination of external acquisitions and internal investment in R&D and intellectual capital. Balance sheet provides good flexibility. BTG growth to be driven by consolidation of IT industry and internal investment in systems and intellectual capital. Current balance sheet restricts significant external opportunities. Powertech growth strategies to be driven around reinvestment in capital equipment focusing on efficiencies in the right areas. Complemented by synergistic small to medium size acquisitions.
