Factors affecting overall performance • Adverse impact of economic crisis on SMEs • Reduced allocation of capital by the shareholder • Reduced lending through Khula’s intermediaries • Focus by financing partners on distressed SMEs to ease effects of poor economic climate • Higher than normal bad debt provision across the sector due to poor economic conditions • Low interest environment affecting revenue streams

Financial Performance For the year ended 31 March 2011
Financial Performance (cont.) • Company Revenue down 13.25% correlating to decreased lending activity. • Operating expenditure maintained by not filling staff vacancies, and reducing variable overheads linked to lending activity. • Provision for bad debts and impairments increased by 178.9% because of write-offs in RFI’s and also RFI net book values impaired below investment values. • Impact on bottom line ~ Loss. • Loans and advances (NBV) to RFI’s down 17.4% due to lack of shareholder funding to grow the loan book. • Khula’s equity and reserves decreased by 2.8% ~ erosion of capital base as a result of lack of funding to generate growth in income and reserves. • Uncommitted cash R110,9m (2010: -R53.6m neg/over-committed). • No taxation payable due to assessed loss available.
Merger of Khula, samaf and IDC’s small business activities with anticipation of significant Government and IDC Funding and support, rationalisation of costs and resources, improved access by SME’s, best practice operations and processes. • Establish SME Supply Chain Fund • Khula Direct implementation • Credit Indemnity Reform • Strengthen risk and credit management processes
Concluding remarks • Limited financial resources and restrictive wholesale mandate limit Khula’s impact and sustained growth • Mandate dictates highly developmental activities (start-ups, smaller sized loans, rural) • Current pricing model does not price for the credit risk and high development cost • Balance sheet to include a portfolio of strategic investments with a high level of profitability to subsidise highly developmental initiatives
