Report of the Independent Auditors
To the shareholder of Evolution Communication Limited and its subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Evolution Communication Limited and its subsidiary, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Evolution Communication Limited and its subsidiary at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the IASB.

Accounting Policies
1. Presentation of Annual Financial Statements
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the ISAB. The annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, and incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below.
These accounting policies are consistent with the previous period.
1.1 Significant judgements
In preparing the annual financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts represented in the annual financial statements and related disclosures. Use of available information and the application of judgement is inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from these estimates which may be material to the annual financial statements. Significant judgements include:
Trade Receivables
The group assesses its trade receivables for impairment at each balance sheet date. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement, the group makes judgements as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a financial asset.
The impairment for trade receivables is calculated on a portfolio basis, based on historical loss ratios, adjusted for national and industry-specific economic conditions and other indicators present at the reporting date that correlate with defaults on the portfolio. These annual loss ratios are applied to loan balances in the portfolio and scaled to the estimated loss emergence period.
Impairment testing
The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units and individual assets have been determined based on the higher of value in use calculations and fair values. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions. It is reasonably possible that these assumption may change which may then impact our estimations and may then require a material adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill and tangible assets.
The group reviews and tests the carrying value of assets when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In addition, goodwill is tested on an annual basis for impairment. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If there are indications that impairment may have occurred, estimates are prepared of expected future cash flows for each group of assets. Expected future cash flows used to determine the value in use of goodwill and tangible assets are inherently uncertain and could materially change over time.
Taxation
Judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes due to the complexity of legislation. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
The group recognises the net future tax benefit related to deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is probable that the deductible temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. Assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets requires the group to make significant estimates related to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the group to realise the net deferred tax assets recorded at the balance sheet date could be impacted.

Accounting Policies
1.2 Property, plant and equipment
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset when:
| it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company; and | ||
| the cost of the item can be measured reliably. |
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on the straight line basis over their expected useful lives to their estimated residual value.
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Item | Average useful life | |
Furniture and fixtures | 6 years | |
Office equipment | 3 years | |
Computer equipment | 3 years |
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method of each asset are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. If the expectations differ from previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.
The depreciation charge for each period is recognised in profit or loss unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset.
The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in profit or loss when the item is derecognised. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item.
1.3 Intangible assets
An intangible asset is recognised when:
| it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity; and | ||
| the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. |
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost.
Intangible assets are carried at revalued amount, being fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date.
Any increase in the carrying amount of an intangible asset, as a result of a revaluation, is credited directly to equity in the revaluation reserve. The increase is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reversed a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss.
Any decrease in the carrying amount of an intangible asset, as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in profit or loss in the year. The decrease was debited directly to equity in the revaluation reserve to the extent of any credit balance that existed in the revaluation surplus in respect of that asset.
An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life when, based on all relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows. Amortisation is not provided for these intangible assets. For all other intangible assets amortisation is provided on a straight line basis over their useful life.
The amortisation period and the amortisation method for intangible assets are reviewed every period-end.
Amortisation is provided to write down the intangible assets, on a straight line basis, to their residual values as follows:

1.4 Investment in subsidiary
Company annual financial statements
In the companys separate annual financial statements, the investment in subsidiary is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment.
The cost of an investment in a subsidiary is the aggregate of:
| the fair value, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the company; plus | ||
| any costs directly attributable to the purchase of the subsidiary. |
An adjustment to the cost of a business combination contingent on future events is included in the cost of the combination if the adjustment is probable and can be measured reliably.
1.5 Investment in joint ventures
Company annual financial statements
An investment in a joint venture is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment.
Profits and losses resulting from contributions or sale of assets to joint ventures are only recognised to the extent of other venturers interests in the joint venture.
In respect of its interests in jointly controlled operations, the company recognises in its annual financial statements:
| the assets that it controls and the liabilities that it incurs; and | ||
| the expenses that it incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the joint venture. |
1.6 Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
The group classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.
Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value, except for equity investments for which a fair value is not determinable, which are measured at cost and are classified as available for sale financial assets.
Loans to / (from) group companies
These include loans to and from holding companies, fellow subsidiaries, subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates and are recognised initially at fair value plus direct transaction costs.
Loans to group companies are classified as loans and receivables.
Loans from group companies are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.
Loans to employees
These financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus direct transaction costs.
Subsequently these loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amounts.
On loans receivable an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that it is impaired. The impairment is measured as the difference between the investments carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the investments recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

1.6 | Financial instruments (continued) |
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The allowance recognised is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.
Trade and other payables
Trade payables are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These are initially and subsequently recorded at fair value.
Bank overdraft and borrowings
Bank overdrafts and borrowings are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the groups accounting policy for borrowing costs.
1.7 | Tax |
Current tax assets and liabilities
Current tax for current and prior periods is, to the extent unpaid, recognised as a liability. If the amount already paid in respect of current and prior periods exceeds the amount due for those periods, the excess is recognised as an asset.
Current tax liabilities / (assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to / (recovered from) the tax authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Tax expenses
Current and deferred taxes are recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from:
| a transaction or event which is recognised, in the same or a different period, directly in equity, or |
| a business combination. |
Current tax and deferred taxes are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged, in the same or a different period, directly to equity.

1.8 | Inventories |
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The cost of inventories comprises of all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
The cost of inventories is assigned using the weighted average cost formula. The same cost formula is used for all inventories having a similar nature and use to the entity.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value, are recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
1.9 | Impairment of assets |
The group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset.
Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, the group also:
| tests intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not yet available for use for impairment annually by comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable amount. This impairment test is performed during the annual period and at the same time every period. |
| tests goodwill acquired in a business combination for impairment annually. |
If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount is estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs is determined.
The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss.
An impairment loss of assets carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation or amortisation is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease.
1.10 | Share capital and equity |
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

1.11 | Employee benefits |
Short-term employee benefits
The cost of short-term employee benefits, (those payable within 12 months after the service is rendered, such as paid vacation leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits such as medical care), are recognised in the period in which the service is rendered and are not discounted.
The expected cost of compensated absences is recognised as an expense as the employees render services that increase their entitlement or, in the case of non-accumulating absences, when the absence occurs.
The expected cost of profit sharing and bonus payments is recognised as an expense when there is a legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past performance.
1.12 | Revenue |
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions have been satisfied:
| the group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; |
| the group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
| the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the group; and |
| the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the transaction is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date. The outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably when all the following conditions are satisfied:
| the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the group; |
| the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably; and |
| the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably. |
When the outcome of the transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be estimated reliably, revenue shall be recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of trade discounts and volume rebates, and value added tax.
Interest is recognised, in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method.
1.13 | Turnover |
Turnover comprises of sales to customers and service rendered to customers. Turnover is stated at the invoice amount and is exclusive of value added taxation.

The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value, is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
The related cost of providing services recognised as revenue in the current period is included in cost of sales.
1.15 | Borrowing costs |
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

In the current year, the group has adopted the following standards and interpretations that are effective for the current financial year and that are relevant to its operations:
IAS 1 (Revised) Presentation of Financial Statements
The main revisions to IAS 1 (AC 101):
| Require the presentation of non-owner changes in equity either in a single statement of comprehensive income or in an income statement and statement of comprehensive income. | ||
| Require the presentation of a statement of financial position at the beginning of the earliest comparative period whenever a retrospective adjustment is made. This requirement includes related notes. | ||
| Require the disclosure of income tax and reclassification adjustments relating to each component of other comprehensive income. The disclosures may be presented on the face of the statement of comprehensive income or in the notes. | ||
| Allow dividend presentations to be made either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes only. | ||
| Have changed the titles to some of the financial statement components, where the balance sheet becomes the statement of financial position and the cash flow statement becomes the statement of cash flows.

2.2 | Standards and interpretations not yet effective |
The group has chosen not to early adopt the following standards and interpretations, which have been published and are mandatory for the groups accounting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2010 or later periods:
IAS 27 (Amended) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
The revisions require:
| Losses of the subsidiary to be allocated to non-controlling interest, even if they result in the non-controlling interest being a debit balance. |
| Changes in level of control without loss of control to be accounted for as equity transactions, without any gain or loss being recognised or any remeasurement of goodwill. |
| When there is a change in the level of control without losing control, the group is prohibited from making reclassification adjustments. |
| When control is lost, the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary as well as non-controlling interest and goodwill are to be derecognised. Any remaining investment is remeasured to fair value at the date on which control is lost, and a gain or loss on loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. |
The effective date of the amendment is for years beginning on or after 01 July 2009.
The group expects to adopt the amendment for the first time in the 2010 annual financial statements.
It is unlikely that the amendment will have a material impact on the companys annual financial statements.
IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows: Consequential amendments due to IAS 27 (Amended) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
Cash flows arising from changes in level of control, where control is not lost, are equity transactions and are therefore accounted for as cash flows from financing transactions.
The effective date of the amendment is for years beginning on or after 01 July 2009.
The group expects to adopt the amendment for the first time in the 2010 annual financial statements.

It is unlikely that the amendment will have a material impact on the companys annual financial statements.
IAS 12 Income Taxes consequential amendments due to IAS 27 (Amended) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
The amendment is as a result of amendments to IAS 27 (AC 132) Consolidate and Separate Financial Statements. The amendment refers to situations where a subsidiary, on acquisition date, did not recognise a deferred tax asset in relation to deductible temporary differences, because, for example, there may not have been sufficient future taxable profits against which to utilise the deductible temporary differences. If the deferred tax asset subsequently becomes recognisable, the amendment now requires that the deferred tax asset should be recognised against goodwill (and profit or loss to the extent that it exceeds goodwill), only if it results from information in the measurement period about circumstances that existed at acquisition date. No adjustment may be made to goodwill for information outside of the measurement period.
The effective date of the amendment is for years beginning on or after 01 July 2009.
The group expects to adopt the amendment for the first time in the 2010 annual financial statements.

The group expects to adopt the amendment for the first time in the 2010 annual financial statements.
It is unlikely that the amendment will have a material impact on the companys annual financial statements.

2009 Annual Improvements Project: Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
In terms of the amendment, forward contracts to buy or sell an acquiree that will result in a business combination in the future, are only exempt from the Standard if the term of the contract does not exceed that which is reasonably necessary to obtain the required approval and complete the transaction. The amendment further clarifies that in a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, gains or losses should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the period in which the hedged forecast cash flow affects profit or loss.

9. | Trade and other receivables (continued) |
Credit quality of trade and other receivables
The credit quality of trade and other receivables that are neither past nor due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to historical information about counterparty default rates. Historical evidence indicated that less than 1% (Company: 1%) of all debtors experience difficulty in paying debt on time. Arrangements with these debtors are made to pay off their outstanding debt over a period of time. Based on the information available, we can conclude that the debtors are of a high quality.
Trade receivables
The concentration of credit risk in relation to the five largest trade receivable balances not past due and not yet impaired was 85% (Company: 85%) in the 2009 year.
Trade and other receivables past due but not impaired
Trade and other receivables which are less than 3 months past due are not considered to be impaired. At 31 December 2009, $92 274 (2008: $67 352) Company: 2009: $75,546 (2008: $21,914) were past due but not impaired.
Trade and other receivables impaired
As of 31 December 2009, trade and other receivables of $20 000 (2008: $ Nil; Company: $20,000; 2008: $ Nil) were impaired and provided for.
The directors consider the fair value of trade and other receivables to approximate its carrying value.

Credit quality of cash at bank and short term deposits, excluding cash on hand

26. Risk management
Financial risk management
The groups activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The groups overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the groups financial performance. The group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. Risk management is carried out by the finance department under policies approved by the board. The finance department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the groups managing and financial director. The board of directors provides written principles for overall risk management.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will be unable to meet its obligations under financial instruments as they become due. It is the ability of the company to service its short term liabilities as they become due. The company manages liquidity risk by effectively managing its working capital, capital expenditure and cash flows. The company finances its operations through short-term bank funding and related party borrowing facilities in addition to the reserves at its disposal.
The company has minimised its liquidity risk by ensuring that it has adequate banking and borrowing facilities.

Interest rate risk
The group policy is to manage interest rate risk so that fluctuations in variable rates do not have a material impact on profit / (loss). This is done by monitoring interest rates carefully and adjusting product pricing accordingly as well as reconsidering the variable interest rates attached to the related party loans. The group has the following financial assets and liabilities that are exposed to interest rate risk:
Cash and cash equivalents
At 31 December 2009, if interest rates on American Dollar-denominated borrowings had been 1.5% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been $8 (2008: $3) lower/higher, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

26. Risk management (continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility of default and subsequent non-payment by trade and sundry debtors. The group only deposits cash with major banks with high quality credit standing.
At year end, the group did not consider there to be any significant concentration of credit risk which has not been adequately provided for.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet. At balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. Credit risk consists mainly of cash and cash equivalents.
Foreign exchange risk
The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the South African Rand. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
The group has no exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows as at 31 December 2009.
