Stakeholders
The Group recognizes that it has various stakeholders who are defined as entities or individuals that can reasonably be expected
to be significantly affected by the Group’s activities and whose actions can reasonably be expected to affect the ability of the Group
to successfully implement its strategies and achieve its objectives. Dialogue with each of these stakeholder groups enables the
Group to identify issues that are of strategic importance to the ongoing success and sustainability of the business. Stakeholders
are engaged primarily on the basis of their impact on the Group.
The table below contains a summary of the Group’s key stakeholders and how we engage with them.
Key stakeholders

satisfaction surveys, one-on-one employee interactions, annual performance assessments,
newsletters, intranet and email communication.
Shareholders, analysts,

Formally announced quarterly reporting calls, non-deal roadshows, general meetings and
investor events. All dialogue is held in a spirit of mutual understanding of the statutory, regulatory
and other directives prohibiting the dissemination of unpublished financial information. Financial
results and announcements are published in accordance with the requirements of the JSE, NYSE
and the SEC. Quarterly announcements of results, the annual report and Form 20-F are also
published on the MiX Telematics website. Shareholders have the opportunity to question the
Board at annual general meetings.

Stakeholder concerns are raised in a number of different ways. They can be received as a formal concern or query lodged with the
Company, or raised in stakeholder forums. We either provide feedback informally in the forum or telephonically, and where
appropriate, we will respond in writing. We also consider the interests and expectations from stakeholder engagement initiatives
that have taken place during the year when preparing the content of our sustainability report.
Our approach to stakeholder engagement favors personal interaction, but where this is not possible other methods such as
surveys and call centers are used.
MiX has a number of geographically diverse businesses, each with its own unique features, stakeholders and operating
environments. It is the Group’s philosophy to empower local management who are best placed to identify and engage stakeholders
on virtually all levels and to ultimately make decisions within agreed guidelines.
For the benefit of stakeholders, the website also provides a wealth of information dealing with products, solutions, commercial
news and investor relations.

Governance structures and systems
Introduction
MiX Telematics is fully committed to ensuring adherence to the
strictest standards of ethical conduct, fair dealing and integrity
in its business practices. In support of this commitment, MiX
endorses the principles and recommendations of King III and
confirms that MiX Telematics is compliant with the principles
of King III in all material respects. A register of MiX’s
performance against the 75 King III principles and, where
applicable, the reasons for non-compliance with the Principles
of King III can be found on our website under investor relations
(www.mixtelematics.com). Mechanisms and policies
appropriate to the Group’s business have been established in
keeping with this commitment to best practices of corporate
governance and integrity, and to ensure compliance thereto.
Further to this, the Group has a Code of Ethics and Conduct
which all employees have to subscribe to and is underpinned
by MiX’s principles of honesty, equity, respect and dignity.
MiX’s shares are publicly traded on the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange (JSE: MiX) and MiX’s American Depositary Shares
are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: MiXT).
Accordingly, the Company is subject to and has implemented
controls to provide reasonable assurance of its compliance
with all relevant requirements in respect of both listings. These
include the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008 (“the SA
Companies Act”), the JSE Listings Requirements, and the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the New York
Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and US legal requirements such as
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 (“SOX”), insofar as they apply to
foreign companies listed on the NYSE.
MiX has compared its corporate governance practices to the
requirements followed by US companies listed on the NYSE.
We believe our established governance practices are in line
with the NYSE standards as they relate to foreign private
issuers and provide adequate protection to our shareholders.
Any differences will be set out in MiX’s annual report on Form
20-F which will be filed with the SEC.

Annual Report 2014
An executive committee is in place that is responsible for
devising the Group strategy for recommendation to the Board
and to implement the strategies and policies approved by
the Board. The executive committee is also responsible for the
day-to-day business and affairs of the Group.
The Chairman reviews the Board’s performance informally on
an ongoing basis; this includes monitoring the contribution of
individual directors. This is considered sufficient at this time.
In line with its annual meeting plan, the Board meets at least
quarterly. The Board has adopted a charter which clearly
defines the responsibilities of the Board. The Board’s primary
responsibilities are to create sustainable shareholder value and
to provide effective governance over the Company’s affairs.
The Company’s non-executive directors provide an
independent perspective and complement the skills and
experience of the executive directors, assessing strategy,
financial plans, performance, resources, transformation,
compliance, risk, key performance areas and conduct. A copy
of the Board charter may be obtained from the Company
Secretary and is available on the Company’s website.
The Board has developed an approvals framework, which
delegates specific powers and delegations of authorities to
operating management. This approvals framework is updated
annually. At Board level, there is a clear balance of power and
authority which ensures that no single director has unfettered
powers of decision making.
The information needs of the Board and committees are
regularly assessed and comprehensive and timely information
is provided in order that they may discharge their duties
effectively. Directors have unrestricted access to all Company
information, records and documents. All directors may seek
the advice of the Company Secretary or other independent
professional advice as necessary, at the Company’s expense.
MiX has combined the audit and risk committee into one
committee. Members consist only of independent
non‑executive directors, one of whom is appointed Chairman.
A quorum consists of the majority of the members.
The Chairman of the Board is a member of the audit and risk
committee and this dual role will be put forward to shareholders
for approval at the upcoming annual general meeting.
Representatives from the outsourced internal audit function
and the external auditors attend meetings. The Chairman of
the social and ethics committee is also invited to attend
meetings due to the close working relationship required
between the two committees. The Group Financial Director
attends all meetings, with the Chief Executive Officer attending
the meetings where the quarterly results are reviewed.
The committee meets at least six times a year, with two
meetings a year focused on risk management.
The duties and operations of the committee are set out in the
audit and risk committee report on page 29.
Nominations and remuneration committee
From May 13, 2013 the committee has been chaired by R Frew.
R Bruyns, who chaired the committee prior to R Frew, continues
to chair all matters relating to the nomination and appointment
of new directors. The nominations and remuneration committee
includes two other non-executive directors as members.
A quorum consists of the majority of the members. The Chief
Executive Officer is invited to attend meetings.
The committee meets at least four times a year. The duties and
operations of the committee are set out in the nominations
and remuneration committee report on page 31.
The nominations and remunerations committee charter is
available on the website.
Overview
The Board currently comprises six non-executive directors and
three executive directors. Three of the non-executive directors,
including the Chairman, are independent.
Audit and risk committee
At least one-third of the non-executive directors retire by
rotation each year and stand for re-election at the annual
general meeting in accordance with the Memorandum of
Incorporation. Directors’ appointments during the year are
ratified at the annual general meeting.
In the execution of its duties, the Board is assisted by various
committees to which specific responsibilities have been
assigned. The committees operate in accordance with
approved charters (these are available on request from the
Company Secretary and are also available on the Company’s
website) and report to the Board on their activities. An
evaluation of the committees’ performance is done on an
annual basis.
Directors are appointed on the basis of skill, experience and
their contribution and impact on the Group’s activities. The
Board decides on the appointment of directors based on
recommendations from the nominations and remuneration
committee. The Board appoints the independent non-executive
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The roles of the
Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are distinct.
Board committees
Social and ethics committee
The social and ethics committee includes three non-executive
directors, one alternate director and one group executive as
members. A quorum consists of the majority of members. The
Chief Executive Officer and Group Financial Director are invited
to attend meetings.
The committee meets at least three times a year. The duties
and operation of the committee are set out in the social and
ethics committee report on page 13 and are further reported
back to shareholders at the annual general meeting.

Company Secretary
The company secretarial function is outsourced to Java Capital
Trustees and Sponsors Proprietary Limited (“Java”), which
provides an independent company secretarial service. The
Board has considered the competence, qualifications and
experience of the individual at Java who is responsible for the
performance of all company secretarial duties to MiX and is
satisfied that the individual, who is an attorney with more than
nine years’ company secretarial experience, has the necessary
qualifications and skills to undertake the role. Furthermore, the
Board is satisfied that an arm’s-length relationship is maintained
10
between the Company and Java through the provisions of
the service agreement entered into between Java and the
Company which limits the duties of the Company Secretary to
only those related to the corporate governance of the Company
and the administration of company secretarial documentation.
Java provides the Board as a whole, and directors individually,
with detailed guidance on discharging their responsibilities.
Java ensures that proceedings and affairs of the Board are
properly administered in accordance with pertinent laws and in
compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements.

Annual Report 2014
The directors acknowledge that they are responsible for
instituting internal control systems that provide reasonable
assurance on safeguarding assets and preventing their
unauthorized use or disposal, as well as maintenance of proper
accounting records that give reasonable assurance on the
reliability of financial information produced.
Internally, management, with the assistance of Ernst & Young,
has reviewed the controls over financial reporting, including
disclosure controls and procedures, and presented its findings
to the audit and risk committee. Based on this review, nothing
has come to the attention of the committee to indicate
that significant internal financial controls have not operated
as intended.
Internal audit
The internal audit function is outsourced to Deloitte. The
outsourced internal audit function works closely with the Group
Financial Director but reports to the audit and risk committee.
The outsourced internal audit function has unrestricted access
to the Chairman and members of the audit and risk committee.
The audit plan for the Group is developed using a risk-based
approach and is approved by the audit and risk committee.
Financial reporting
MiX has a comprehensive system for reporting financial
information to the Board. Each operation is responsible
for preparing an annual forecast and three-year plan which
are approved by the Board. Management accounts, which are
submitted to the Board on a quarterly basis, are reviewed and
compared to forecast with large variances explained.
Quarterly forecasts are performed during the financial year
and circulated to the Board.
Standard Group accounting policies are in place, with which all
operations comply.
Overview
Dealings in securities
Directors’ dealings in the Company’s shares are strictly
controlled in terms of JSE regulations and US law including
SEC rules. The Board charter, in compliance with the Financial
Markets Act, JSE Listings Requirements and the SEC regulations,
prohibits directors, officers and selected employees from
dealing in the Company’s shares during designated periods
preceding the announcement of the Group’s financial results
and for two business days thereafter, any period while the
Company is trading under a cautionary announcement and at
any other time deemed necessary by the Board. Permitted
dealings by directors are reported to the Chairman and
Company Secretary and are published on SENS and a
Form 6-K within 48 hours of the dealing.
An Insider Trading Policy, which addresses both the JSE
and SEC regulations, has also been approved by the Board
and communicated to all directors, officers and employees of
the Group.
Compliance with laws and
regulations
There has been nothing that has come to our attention where
we have not complied with laws and regulations in the
jurisdictions within which we operate. During the year under
review, we have not paid any material fines for non-compliance
with laws and regulations.
Internal controls
The Board takes overall responsibility for IT governance. This
has not been delegated to the audit and risk committee nor
has a separate Board committee been established. The
responsibility for IT governance is a specific executive
committee portfolio and is reported on at Board meetings.
The audit and risk committee considers the facts and
assumptions used in the assessment of the going concern
status of the Group and the Company at financial year-end so
as to make a statement with regards to the preparation of the
financial statements on the going concern basis. The Group’s
annual forecast and three-year plan form the basis of the
Board’s conclusion on the going concern principle.

Social and ethics committee report
F Roji
R Bruyns (appointed May 13, 2013)
R Botha (Group executive responsible for social and ethics)
Chris Ewing was appointed as the Chairman of the committee
with effect from April 3, 2014.
The regulations prescribe that the committee should consist of
not less than three directors or prescribed officers of
the Company, one of whom must not have been involved in the
day-to-day management of the Company’s business within
the prior three financial years. The committee complies with
this requirement.
Focus for the year
During this reporting period, the committee focused on the
implementation of an anti-bribery and corruption program,
commencing with compulsory training on all relevant policies
and principles for all staff members. The Board, Group
executive and regional management received additional
training on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). The
committee developed a Partner Code of Ethics and Conduct
(“PCoC”) and each of our dealer and distribution partners
are required to confirm acceptance thereof, unless the partner
has an acceptable code of ethics and conduct in place and
in practice.

The committee must, as the occasion dictates, bring matters
within its mandate to the attention of the Board and a committee
member must report on matters within that mandate to the
shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting.
The role of the committee includes but is not limited to
monitoring the compliance of the Company with the
10 principles set out in the United Nations Global Compact
Principles, the OECD recommendations regarding corruption
and the International Labor Organization Protocol in terms of
certain of the items to be monitored.
During the period under review, the Group’s Code of Ethics and
Conduct and the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy was
updated. The Whistleblowing Policy was amended to include
the audit committee complaints procedure. This policy was
then transferred to the audit and risk committee.

Bearing in mind that the operations of MiX are spread over
numerous geographies and that MiX sells extensively through
a worldwide network of dealer and distribution partners, the
committee uses two sets of questionnaires to monitor the
items under its mandate. Both sets of questionnaires are
distributed annually. Each MiX operation is required to
complete the Social and Ethics Questionnaire, while a second
set of questionnaires is sent to each of the MiX dealer and
distribution partners. Results of the questionnaires are, where
relevant, reported to the Board and incorporated into the
report for the annual general meeting. The committee is satisfied
with the Group’s performance in each of the areas listed above.
Kindly refer to the sustainability review for more detail on
certain of these aspects.
The committee charter was amended and approved by the
Board in May 2013.
The policies and the committee charter are available on the
MiX website.
Three formal meetings were held during the year. There is a
close working relationship between the audit and risk committee
and the committee and during the year two members of the
audit and risk committee also served as members of the social
and ethics committee.
During the 2014 financial year, the committee complied with and
met its obligations to monitor those items under its mandate.

Annual Report 2014
The MiX Group lives by a strong set of core values and a nonnegotiable Code of Ethics and Conduct that guide our Group
strategies, general conduct and interaction with all of our
stakeholders. MiX is committed to contribute value not only to
our shareholders but also to our employees, customers,
business partners and communities and this sustainability
report highlights some of the key successes, opportunities
and challenges we have met during this reporting period.
As a good corporate citizen with a keen interest in social,
environmental and economic sustainability, our global business
strategy is underpinned by the idea that greater sustainability
is integral to improving business performance, and that
achievements in one area contribute towards achievements in
another. This is why sustainable development in fields ranging
from enterprise development, health and safety, human capital
development and other areas has remained a key focus area
for the Group.
Throughout this report we will also illustrate how many of the
drivers of MiX’s commercial success support the environmental,
health and safety, and staff wellness objectives of our
worldwide customer base.

Economic
The MiX Group provides direct employment to 1,039
employees across seven countries around the world. This is an
increase of 102 people from the previous year. An amount of
R2.2 million was spent on enterprise development and another
1,850 vehicles were recovered and returned to their rightful
owners during this year.
Recovery operation
An estimated 140,000 vehicles are stolen in South Africa every
year, costing the insurance industry alone up to R1.5 billion in
claims. MiX Telematics Africa, the stolen vehicle recovery arm
of the Group, increased the direct saving to the South African
economy by returning vehicles to the value of R363 million to
their rightful owners during the reporting year. This is a 38%
increase from the previous reporting year (R264 million).
These amounts exclude the indirect costs related to the
process and cost of replacing a vehicle as well as the loss of
productivity, and, in the case of a commercial fleet, the lost
14
revenue from not having these vehicles available – in some
instances for an extended period of time.
Greater cooperation with the SAPS (South African Police
Service), smarter crime intelligence coupled with analytics of
incident patterns and the current generation of MiX-engineered
recovery technology have contributed significantly to the
recovery division’s success during the reporting period. This
success has effects on the South African economy and
contributes to our customers’ personal safety.
Fleet operation
As a fleet management and telematics provider, the Group
enables both large and small fleet operators across numerous
industries to lower their operating and maintenance costs,
improve driver safety and behavior, and reduce fuel
consumption and carbon emissions. We collect and analyze
our customers’ driving hours, fuel usage, distances, routes,
trip durations, driving speeds and various other parameters,
and present our customers with meaningful data that enables
more informed business decisions and improved sustainability.

Return on investment
Overview
MiX products and solutions are designed to equip our customers with the tools and know-how to manage their mobile
assets and take charge of driver behavior, resulting in a return on investment and long-term savings while facilitating
greater sustainability in terms of road safety, the environment and human capital development.
A large majority of MiX’s fleet management customers have reduced their fuel consumption and achieved operating cost
savings despite the rising cost of fuel. Better route management and delivery schedules thanks to up‑to‑the-minute
vehicle data have improved vehicle utilization and our customers’ productivity. The identification and correction of poor
driver behavior, such as harsh acceleration, over-speeding and excessive idling, has further developed our customers’
drivers, resulting in reduced vehicle wear and tear, fuel consumption, accident rates and even insurance premiums.
Case studies
Customer results
By installing the MiX Telematics RIBAS (revving,
idling, braking, accelerating and speeding) warning
indicator and a complete vehicle tracking solution,
the 100-vehicle distribution company, Solstor UK
Limited, was able to reduce its fuel consumption
and carbon emissions by 12% – achieving a direct
cost saving while improving sustainability.
Using the Fleet Manager solution, MiX helped the logistics company, ETS Distribution Limited, achieve maximum
utilization of its 24-vehicle fleet. Up-to-the-minute vehicle information has further optimized delivery times and has
increased the company’s fuel efficiency by 10.3%.
Keystone Distribution UK Limited, the dedicated logistics operator for the McDonald’s restaurant chain in the UK,
reinforced its environmental strategy using the MiX Fleet Management solution and achieved a fuel efficiency improvement
of 10% across its fleet of 130 vehicles. The company’s wear and tear was reduced by 15%, and the accident rate
improved by 70%.
One of the City of London’s major public transport operators, Go-Ahead London, has achieved a 12% improvement in
fuel consumption across its fleet of 1,500 buses with the help of the MiX Fleet Manager and FM-Web solution. The
solution provides drivers with up-to-the-minute efficiency targets, while a “green” driving incentive program continues to
encourage more sustainable driver behavior.

Financial reports
In addition, the MiX R2MS solution helps fleet operators in South Africa deal with all aspects relating to AARTO, the
impending Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act designed to encourage the payment of fines and
persuade drivers to obey the rules of the road. The new Act will serve to lighten the load on South African courts, and fleet
owners who are not prepared to deal with the bureaucratic implications of AARTO, will inevitably find their operations
losing significant amounts of time and money.

Enterprise development
“Enterprise development” is defined in the Broad-Based Black
Economic Empowerment (“B-BBEE”) Act 53 of 2003 as
monetary or non-monetary contributions carried out for the
benefit of entities with an annual turnover of less than
R5 million, small enterprises which are 50% black-owned or
black women-owned, and any other entity which is at least
25% black-owned or black women-owned and has a BEE
status of between level 1 and level 6 in terms of the old B-BBEE
Codes of Good Practice. The objective of these enterprise
development initiatives must be to contribute to the
development, sustainability, financial and operational
independence of the beneficiaries as defined above.
MiX contributed R2.2 million to enterprise development during
this year in the form of monetary and non-monetary
contributions. The major benefactor was MiX Telematics Fleet
Support, which received over R1 million worth of benefits. The
main focus of this business is to do installations and
maintenance on client vehicles and take the lead in the initial
phases of national implementation projects. It is now in its fifth
year of operation, remains well managed with good corporate
governance structures in place and has continued to show
strong economic growth. In 2011, MiX Fleet Support had
25 staff members, which has grown to 53 staff members
currently, of whom 33 are technical staff. With humble
beginnings in Midrand, this business now also services the
complete Western Cape province from Knysna to Vredendal
and has plans in place to expand to other areas in the
near future.
MiX Fleet Support is 51% owned by an employee trust with
previously disadvantaged employees as the beneficiaries. MiX
Telematics Enterprise SA owns the other 49%. During the
financial year, the beneficiaries of the MiX Telematics Fleet
Support Employee Trust received a distribution of R0.5 million,
which brings the total distribution to R1.2 million since
inception in 2010. MiX Enterprise, which provided the initial
start-up capital, equipment and expertise for this venture,
continues to dedicate time, money and expertise to ensure the
long-term growth and sustainability of this venture.
MiX Telematics International, based in Stellenbosch,
introduced a new enterprise development initiative this year by
making early payments to one of our empowered manufacturing
partners, to good effect.
Environmental, health and safety
Environment
In recent years, MiX has demonstrated a commitment to
improved environmental management for both the Group and
our customers alike. Having been the world’s first telematics
company to become carbon neutral, MiX further helped to
facilitate a global climate change analysis by voluntarily
submitting the Group’s footprint data to the Carbon Disclosure
Project.
the regions in which it operates. In addition, MiX is a proud
member of the Carbon Protocol in South Africa and a senior
sponsor of the World Wildlife Fund (“WWF”).
MiX maintained its carbon neutral status this year by
purchasing 3,304 tonnes of carbon credits to the value of
R0.2 million from the Reliance Group Trading Proprietary
Limited, which trades as Reliance Compost. Reliance Compost
converts organic waste that would otherwise have gone to
landfill sites, into organic compost.
MiX’s carbon footprint increased by just over 8% from the
previous reporting period which is acceptable in context of
the increased activity required to drive the Group’s organic
revenue growth of 8.6% for the year. MiX has continued to
monitor and reduce internal carbon utilization throughout
our various operations. Employees in our large South African
operations actively monitor and adjust their energy
consumption with the help of electricity monitoring devices,
while internal campaigns run by each operating division help
to recycle any reusable material. Green purchasing remains
a priority.
MiX Telematics Europe has maintained its ISO 14001
certification for environmental management in the UK, and the
Group complies with all relevant environmental legislation in

The true measure of MiX’s commitment and contribution to
environmental sustainability, is illustrated by the value the MiX
fleet customers derive from utilizing MiX technology and
actionable intelligence to improve fuel efficiency and fleet
utilization to have a direct and positive impact on their carbon
emissions.

Annual Report 2014
The “green” in MiX Telematics
Overview
While MiX is well known for helping fleet operators to significantly reduce their fuel consumption, an important benefit that
results from using less fuel is of course lowered carbon emissions. Our customers therefore participate in the creation of
a healthier, more sustainable environment.
Case studies
How one customer benefited
Lucien Kunegal (LK) Group is based in the
Alsace region in North Eastern France and is
one of the largest independent passenger
transport companies in France, with eight
subsidiary companies throughout the region.
The LK Group, which is one of the first bus and
coach companies to sign the CO2 charter, that
was established by the French government to
reduce CO2 emissions, experienced large fuel
savings with an associated reduction of CO2 emissions after implementation of the MiX fleet management solution.
What began as a proof of concept for four buses of Lucien Kunegal (LK) Group in France, resulted in the installation of a
MiX Telematics fleet management system in 350 of their fleet of buses. The first phase of the project demonstrated
savings of around €28,000 per year for the Schmitt (Europatours) business unit of 40 vehicles. Although originally not a
primary objective, reduction in stress for the drivers was one of the main motivators, which helped gain acceptance of the
system. The drivers greatly valued the new “smooth driving” practice, which they considered an important improvement
in their working conditions.
The MiX Telematics solution also served as a valuable tool for driving trainers, who now conduct their training using
accurate, objective data. They analyse information about drivers, trips and, above all, driving errors, to gain tangible
improvements. MiX Telematics RIBAS (revving, idling, braking, accelerating and speeding) warning indicator display units
are programmed by the trainers with specific parameters in place, set by the LK Group. The device has therefore become
an excellent ally to the trainer, as it ensures that good habits developed in the classroom are reinforced once the driver
returns to the road. The RIBAS display alerts drivers to errors in the same way as a real life trainer and thereby provides
a lasting effect.
Reducing carbon emissions is particularly important for the road transport industry, which is responsible for up to 18% of
global carbon emissions according to a report by Frost & Sullivan. Committing to reduce carbon emissions not only helps
fleet operators prepare for any anticipated legislation surrounding carbon emission reporting and reduction, but it also
helps companies to offset the cost of rising fuel and energy.

Social
Human capital
Our employees are one of our most important stakeholder
groups as they are the interface to our customers, suppliers,
business partners and other stakeholders and as such have a
huge impact on the performance and reputation of MiX. We are
proud to be the employer of 1,039 people in our 12 offices
around the world. At MiX we take care to recruit people who fit
in with and share MiX’s core values. Our focus after recruitment
is to continuously develop, train and retain quality people. We
believe in empowering and developing our people and there is
a special focus on identifying and developing our future
leaders. Regular employee reviews ensure that employees
and leaders in our business remain aligned to our core values
and promote these while they execute the Group strategy. At
MiX we give preference to promoting from within the Group,
before recruiting externally.
MiX recognizes the rights of employees to freedom of
association, collective bargaining, dispute resolution
mechanisms and protection against any form of harassment,
victimization or discrimination.
Employment equity and equal
opportunities
The Group is committed to the ongoing development of all its
employees, regardless of race or gender and endeavors to
ensure that equal opportunities are created. All the South
African entities understand the Employment Equity Act 1998,
their duties in terms of the Act and they submit employment
equity plans and progress reports to the Department of Labour
as required. Management of each South African business sets
its own employment equity targets and defines its approach
to managing and achieving these targets. All of the entities
improved their equitable representation from the prior year
and have either achieved their targets, or where they set
longer-term targets have confirmed that they are on track
to achieve them, but found it challenging to meet their
management, senior management and senior technical level
representation targets.
Staff demographics are reported to the Group executive
committee on a quarterly basis. The MiX staff demographics
can be seen on page 19.
Labor practices
All companies in the Group comply with the local labor
legislation, employment and taxation laws related to
employment in all of the countries in which we employ staff. In
South Africa, where the bulk of our staff is employed, we
comply with the Labour Relations Act 1995, the Basic
Conditions of Employment Act 1997, Occupational Health
and Safety Act 1993, the Unemployment Insurance Act 1995,
and the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment
Act 2003.
Learnerships
MiX’s Consumer business, which is represented by the Matrix and Beam-e brands, has implemented a program whereby
school leavers, the age group in South Africa with an estimated 50% unemployment rate (the South African Institute of
Race Relations), are able to train and qualify as skilled fitment technicians. During the reporting year, the company
developed four school leavers into responsible and accomplished fitters.
The changing trends in fitment requirements have meant that the largest volumes of fitments require less time and
complexity, and normally have a mobile (on-site) requirement. This has created an opportunity, especially with bulk unit
installations, to develop unskilled school leavers into technicians that are able to fulfil these requirements. Young
technicians provide greater agility and flexibility, especially for bulk installations that do not typically suit the profitability
targets of traditional fitment center networks. The Consumer business aims to further develop the program’s participants
for continuous growth within the Group.

Staff wellness
Training and development
Staff health, wellness and morale are very important to the
Group. Each business in the Group manages its own initiatives
to suit its demographics and these initiatives continue
throughout the year. Once every second year, MiX conducts a
Group-wide staff “climate” survey to invite feedback from our
staff regarding their perception of MiX as an employer on a
wide range of topics. This last survey was conducted in 2012
and will be repeated in 2014; however, the previous survey
revealed that the majority of our staff thought that MiX was a
good employer to work for, that they are proud to work for MiX
and would encourage other people to join the Group.
We encourage all staff members, regardless of their level within
the Group, to participate in training through classroom courses,
e-learning modules, external programs, as well as various
other types of learnerships. It is our policy to give preference
to promoting from within our existing staff complement,
making it crucial that training is not only focused on improving
our staff’s skill in their current positions, but is able to develop
and equip them for their future career opportunities within the
Group. Most of the Group companies have programs for skills
management and life-long learning in place to support the
continued employability of employees.
The Midrand office in South Africa houses the single-largest
number of employees and is shared by MiX Enterprise, MiX
Africa and MiX Fleet Support, who all subscribe to the
Careways Group and who also consolidate their staff wellness
initiatives. Careways specializes in providing comprehensive
wellness solutions to staff with the aim of assisting workers to
achieve a work/life balance, leading to job satisfaction and
healthy, productive lifestyles. Their offering includes a 24-hour
telephonic wellness helpline that is available to staff as well as
their family members.
The Group spent R2.8 million on training of employees during
the reporting period, which is lower than the R4.2 million spent
during the previous year. The main reason for the reduction is
the transition to online training via the MiX Learning Center,
which is a significantly more cost-effective training method.
Online training is also very efficient as the training courses can
be taken at any time that suits the learner or the specific
operation, training standards can be maintained across the
regions (for specific topics) and there is an accurate record of
training courses completed by the staff members. The MiX
Learning Center was put to effective use when the Anti-Bribery
and Corruption Training Course, as part of the anti-bribery and
corruption program, was rolled out to all staff members across
the Group during December 2013. This course was customdesigned for MiX and included the internal policies and
legislation specifically applicable to MiX. Employees have a
complete record of their training achievements in the form of
“badges” that are issued on completion of an online course.
Certain courses, such as the Anti-Bribery and Corruption
Training Course have an expiry date, when the employee will
receive an automatic reminder to enrol for the refresher course.
During the year, the Group hosted two staff wellness days, one
at the Midrand office and another at the Stellenbosch office.
Staff had health screening checks that included glucose,
cholesterol and blood pressure tests, as well as body mass
index assessments. Flu injections were made available to staff
in May last year and “left-over” injections were donated for the
benefit of crèches and primary schools.
MiX again participated in regular blood drives conducted by
the South African National Blood Service in South Africa
throughout the year, at our South African offices.
Given the high risk of communicable diseases in South Africa,
the South African operations committed to give renewed focus
during the coming year to raise awareness and provide training
regarding Aids and tuberculosis specifically.
MiX sponsored several other wellness-related activities for our
staff and their families during the year and these included the
Discovery Cape Times Big Walk, Lourensford Wine Estate
Pride and Joy Fun Run, the Pick n Pay Cape Argus Cycle Tour,
the Cansa Shavathon in support of cancer awareness and the
702 Walk the Talk.
20
The “Online Driver Training” program was another online
training course that was compulsory for all MiX staff with the
objective to provide our staff with specific driving skill sets
through creative and interactive delivery, to make them better
road users and therefore improve their safety on the roads.

After review by the Department of Trade and Industry, a new
set of B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice came into operation on
October 13, 2013, and these codes must be transitioned by
April 15, 2015. The codes have some interpretation issues
which may be clarified in the Technical Guidance Notes which
are not yet issued. The new codes may negatively affect the
B-BBEE scorecards of all the entities listed in the table above,
but may equally affect our competitors. The focus of the new
codes is on black ownership, black management and
enterprise and supply development for the purpose of
providing opportunities for small black organizations or black
entrepreneurs to gain access to corporate South African
businesses and become part of the formal economy. These
will then also be the key to achieving acceptable ratings under
the new codes.
MiX Enterprise BEE Trust
The Enterprise Trust holds a 14.9% stake in MiX Enterprise
and is defined as a B-BBEE trust. The Enterprise Trust has
accumulated R7.4 million in dividends since it was established
and has, to the end of March 2014 paid R2.8 million towards
qualifying charities and qualifying initiatives, such as the newly
launched education assistance program. During the year, the
trust established an education assistance program for
qualifying MiX employees, who would otherwise struggle to
afford quality education for their children. There are currently
45 children who benefit from this program and an amount of
R0.4 million of an estimated total of R1.2 million of costs for
the 2014 school year has already been paid. The assistance
provides for tuition fees, stationery, transport, school uniforms
and in certain instances, boarding fees. Unlike most bursaries
or educational assistance programs, this is not focused on
secondary or tertiary students only, but has the specific aim to
assist qualifying students from as early as possible in their
school careers. This means that children currently qualify for
assistance from as early as South African “grade R” level,
when they are about five years old. Provided parent and child
comply with agreed terms and obligations and the employee
maintains employment with MiX, it is the intention to provide
long-term support to each of the children in the program. This
initiative is closely monitored and is administered by a
company which specializes in managing these initiatives,
including parent engagement, student performance monitoring

Annual Report 2014
Heartbeat Youth Center, Vosloorus
Launched in March 2014, the new Heartbeat Youth Center in Vosloorus, southeast of Johannesburg, was funded by
the MiX Telematics Enterprise Trust to provide essential developmental support to roughly 260 underprivileged children
in the area. Underpinned by a belief in growth, development and mentoring, the trust made R1.5 million available for the
project which will provide healthy meals, leadership development programs, life skills programs, education and
socialization to children identified as disadvantaged, vulnerable or orphaned.
The Heartbeat Youth Center’s vision is aligned with the Trust’s goals of encouraging sustainable development. From the
inception of the project in 2012, MiX and Heartbeat encouraged the beneficiaries to participate in the center’s design and
layout by discussing each child’s needs and by getting to understand what inspires each child to excel at school and on
a personal level. The outcomes of these discussions were incorporated into the project to help ensure a safe environment
that’s conducive to learning and personal development.

Our relationship with Heartbeat, a non-governmental organization specialized in providing material support,
education and other social services to orphans and vulnerable children across South Africa, goes
back as far as five years. Apart from the Heartbeat Youth Center and education scheme, we
have invested in various Heartbeat programs ranging from holiday and youth development
initiatives, to establishing food gardens and hands-on volunteer work.

Professor Sunette Pienaar founded the organization in the year 2000 after the then
President, Nelson Mandela, called on all South Africans to participate in sustainable
development. Heartbeat has since helped to empower over 54,000 orphans and vulnerable
children to become value-adding members of society. Working closely with communities,
services providers, donors, government and friends who are capable of providing holistic
services to the program’s participants, the organization provides a range of social services to children including
psychological and social support, food, education, care and opportunities for development and growth.

Clover Mama Afrika – MiX sponsored Clover Mama
Afrika’s annual road show, which saw women who look
after abused, abandoned, orphaned and vulnerable
children as well as the elderly, receive essential mentorship
from skilled social workers. The team traveled over
6,000 km, and stopped at 21 Clover Mama Afrika centers
throughout South Africa. The road show helps the
organization to evaluate what skills and material support
the centers are in need of and where the areas of
improvement are, while also helping the team to scout
for new Mamas – women who are already making
a difference in their communities – to join the program.
Over 14,200 children and 2,000 elderly have
benefited from the organization’s campaigns.
Tereo Project – “Tereo” is an ancient Greek word meaning
“to protect and preserve” and is an apt name for this
community school which was established in 1999 for
children at risk in the Helderberg Basin, Somerset West,
near our Stellenbosch offices. MiX makes monthly
contributions towards feeding, clothing and educating
these vulnerable children and made a total contribution of
R136,080 for the reporting period.

As a good corporate citizen, the Group understands that one
of the best ways to improve the long-term sustainability of our
company and environment is to actively invest in the
communities in which we operate. This is an example of how
success in one area leads to success in another. During the
year, we invested R1.3 million into various community-oriented
campaigns, which is more than double the amount spent
during the previous period. This amount excludes other funds

Review of results
The results of the Group and the Company have been set out
in the attached financial statements, as set out on pages 25

New York Stock Exchange listing
and proceeds from shares issued
On August 9, 2013, following a successful US initial public
offering (“IPO”) of American Depositary Shares or ADSs, each
of which represents 25 ordinary shares at no par value, the
Company’s ADSs were listed on the NYSE and are traded
under the symbol MIXT. As part of the IPO, the Company
issued 4,400,000 ADSs on August 14, 2013 and raised
R649.9 million for the Company (before expenses amounting
to R27.0 million). Selling shareholders sold an additional
2,840,512 ADSs, resulting in a total capital raise by the
Company and selling shareholders, prior to underwriting
discount, of R1,150 million. The Company did not receive any
proceeds from the offering of ADSs by the selling shareholders.
Changes to share capital
In terms of a special resolution approved on August 1, 2013, a
new class of no par value shares, consisting of 100 million
preference shares was created. There were no changes in the
Company’s authorized number of ordinary shares during the
year under review (2013: none).
No preference shares were issued during the year.

The number of issued ordinary shares increased by 14,187,500
as a result of employee share options exercised during the
year (2013: 2,762,500) and by an additional 110,000,000
shares issued during the IPO described above.
At year-end, the authorized stated capital amounted to 1 billion
ordinary shares and 100 million preference shares with no
par value. The number of issued ordinary shares of no par
value amounted to 784,150,000. No treasury shares were held
(2013: none).
On October 25, 2012, the Company’s new Memorandum of
Incorporation (“MOI”) was accepted by the Companies and
Intellectual Property Commission. As a result, the issued share
capital of the Company of 659,450,000 shares with a par value
of 0.002 cents per share at the conversion date was converted
to shares of no par value.
Acquisitions and disposals
During the year, the Group acquired a proprietary software
development business from Roitech Proprietary Limited
(constituting employees and specific assets and liabilities).
The total purchase consideration amounted to R7.6 million of
which R3.6 million was settled in cash. The remaining
R4.0 million will be paid over a three-year period. Further
disclosure in respect of the acquisition is set out in note 33 of
the consolidated financial statements.
During the 2013 fiscal year, the Group acquired the business of
Intellichain Proprietary Limited (“Intellichain’’) for an amount

of the transaction, the aforementioned loan approximated
R6 million.
The Group did not make any disposals of businesses during
the current or the prior year.
Dividends
Dividends paid during the year under review are set out in note
31 to the financial statements.
Following the completion of the IPO, the Company has

In order to ensure compliance with the guidance on corporate
governance issued by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on
January 31, 2013, R Bruyns, the independent non-executive
Chairman of the Company, resigned as Chairman of the

MiX Telematics’ Remuneration Policy is formulated to attract
and retain high-calibre executives and motivate them to
develop and implement the Company’s business strategy in
order to optimize long-term shareholder value. It is the intention
that this policy should conform to best practice standards. The
policy is framed around the following key principles:
not expose shareholders to unreasonable financial risk.
Elements of executive remuneration
Executive remuneration comprises the following four principal
elements:
• Basic salary and allowances;
• Bi-annual incentive bonuses;
• Share incentive plans; and
• Retirement and other benefits.
The committee seeks to ensure an appropriate balance
between the fixed and performance-related elements of
executive remuneration and between those aspects of the
package linked to short-term financial performance and those
linked to longer-term shareholder value creation. The policy
relating to each component of remuneration is summarized
below.
Basic salary
The basic salary of each executive is subject to annual review
and is set to be responsible and competitive with reference to
external market practice in similar companies, which are
comparable in terms of size, market sector, business complexity,
and international scope. Company performance, individual
performance and changes in responsibilities are also taken into
account when determining annual basic salaries.

• R Frew (Chairman from May 7, 2013 to March 31, 2014)
• A Welton (appointed March 31, 2013)
Principles of executive remuneration
In the review period ended March 31, 2014, the members of
the nominations and remuneration committee were:
Remuneration policy
Bi-annual incentive bonus
All executives are eligible to receive a performance-related
bi‑annual bonus. The bonus is non-contractual and not
pensionable. The committee reviews bonuses at the half-year
and at year-end, and determines the level of bonus based on
performance criteria set at the start of the performance period.
31
Financial reports
We are pleased to report to you on the nominations and
remuneration committee’s (“the committee”) activities in the
2014 fiscal year. The committee executes its responsibility in
accordance with the mandate given by the Board.
MiX Telematics ❯
Annual Report 2014
The criteria include targets relating to subscriber growth,
subscription revenue growth and divisional operating profit
growth and certain discretionary elements.
The short-term incentive program is available to executive
directors, senior executives and selected employees. Cash
bonuses to senior executives and executive directors are
approved by the nominations and remuneration committee.
Share incentive plan
The long-term incentive program is administered through the
Group Executive Incentive Plan – a share option plan. The
share option plan and the award of share options to executive
directors and senior executives is controlled by the committee.
Motivations for the award of share options are presented by
the executive directors to the committee which, after review
and consideration, recommends the award of such options as
it deems fit to the Board for approval. Selected participants will
receive grants of share options which are conditional rights to
receive MiX shares at prices equal to the exercise price.
Vesting of options is subject to time and performance
conditions. The performance conditions and period are
determined by the Board on a grant-by-grant basis in respect
of each new grant of options.
The targets and measuring terms relating to each issue are
detailed in the letter of grant. After vesting, the options will
become exercisable. Upon exercise by a participant, the
Company will settle the value of options by delivering
MiX shares that will be issued out of authorized unissued MiX
shares. These options are treated as equity-settled instruments.
Eligibility
Any senior employee with significant managerial or other
responsibility, including any director holding salaried
employment or office in the Group, is eligible to participate in
the share incentive plan.
A total of 38,912,500 share options remain unexercised at an
average price of R1.52 per share of which 11,762,500 have
vested and met their performance conditions. Refer to note 15
of the annual financial statements for further detail.
During the current financial year no options were granted.
Retirement plans and other benefits
Executives are remunerated on a cost-to-company basis and
as part of their package are entitled to a car allowance,
provident fund contributions, medical, death and disability
insurance. The provision of these benefits is considered to be
market competitive for executive positions.
Other matters affecting
remuneration of directors
External appointments
Executive directors are not permitted to hold external
directorships or offices without the approval of the Board,
other than those of a personal nature.
Fees payable to non-executive directors are proposed and
reviewed by the remuneration committee and recommended
to the Board, which in turn makes recommendations to
shareholders with reference to the fees paid by comparable
companies, responsibilities taken by the non-executive
directors and the importance attached to the retention and
attraction of high-calibre individuals. Non-executive directors,
in accordance with the recommendations of King III, do not
participate in any incentive programs.

Annual Report 2014
Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated and separate annual financial statements based
on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated and separate annual financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the annual financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the annual financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation
and fair presentation of the annual financial statements in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the annual financial statements.
Other reports required by the Companies Act
As part of our audit of the consolidated and separate annual
financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014, we
have read the directors’ report, the audit and risk committee’s
report and the Company Secretary’s certificate for the purpose
of identifying whether there are material inconsistencies
between these reports and the audited consolidated and
separate annual financial statements. These reports are the
responsibility of the respective preparers. Based on reading
these reports we have not identified material inconsistencies
between these reports and the audited consolidated and
separate annual financial statements. However, we have not
audited these reports and accordingly do not express an
opinion on these reports.
Overview
The Company’s directors are responsible for the preparation
and fair presentation of these consolidated and separate
annual financial statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the
Companies Act of South Africa, and for such internal control
as the directors determine is necessary to enable the
preparation of consolidated and separate annual financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In our opinion, the consolidated and separate annual financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated and separate financial position of MiX Telematics
Limited as at March 31, 2014, and its consolidated and
separate financial performance and its consolidated and
separate cash flows for the year then ended in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards and the
requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.

Director: Vicki Myburgh
Registered Auditor
Sunninghill
June 3, 2014
We have audited the consolidated and separate annual
financial statements of MiX Telematics Limited set out on
pages 36 to 118, which comprise the consolidated and
separate statements of financial position as at March 31, 2014,
and the consolidated and separate income statements,
statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes
in equity and statements of cash flows for the year then ended,
and the notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.

Annual Report 2014
Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended March 31, 2014 have been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board,
and IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRS IC”) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in thousands of Rand (R’000) under the historical cost
convention except for available-for-sale financial assets, which are measured at fair value.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.
It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The
areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions or estimates are significant to
the financial statements, are disclosed in note 4.
During the 2014 fiscal year, the Group changed its classification of foreign exchange gains and losses in the income
statement. Refer to note 40 for details on the reclassification.
2.1.1.
2.1.1.1.
Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The following new and amended standards have been adopted by the Group for the first time on April 1, 2013:
Standards and
Amendments
Executive summary
IFRS 10 Consolidated
Financial Statements
and amendments to
transitional
requirements for
IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and
IFRS 12.
This standard builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the
determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial
statements. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in determining control
where this is difficult to assess. The Group re-assessed the control conclusion for its interests
in other entities at April 1, 2013 in accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 10.
Based on this assessment, all entities previously consolidated continue to be consolidated
and there were no entities requiring deconsolidation identified. The new standard therefore
had no impact on the consolidated financial statements (refer to note 42).
IFRS 11 Joint
Arrangements
This standard focuses on the rights and obligations of a joint arrangement, rather than its
legal form. There are two types of joint arrangements: joint operations and joint ventures.
The adoption of this standard had no impact on the consolidated financial statements
(refer to note 8).
IFRS 12 Disclosures of
Interests in Other
Entities
This standard includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other
entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose entities and other offbalance sheet vehicles. The adoption of this standard had no significant impact on the
consolidated financial statements (refer to note 42).
IFRS 13 Fair Value
Measurement
IFRS 13 aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise
definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure
requirements for use across all IFRS standards. The requirements do not extend the use
of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is
already required or permitted by other standards within IFRS. The adoption of this standard
resulted in updated fair value disclosures for available-for-sale assets (refer to note 9).
IAS 1 Presentation of
Financial Statements,
on presentation of
items of OCI
The main change resulting from these amendments is a requirement for entities to group
items presented in “other comprehensive income” (OCI) on the basis of whether they are
potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently (reclassification adjustments). The
updated disclosure has been included in the consolidated statement of OCI.
IAS 1 Presentation of
Financial Statements,
on changes in
accounting policies
The amendment clarifies the disclosure requirements for comparative information when
an entity provides a third balance sheet either: as required by IAS 8 Accounting policies,
changes in accounting estimates and errors; or voluntarily. The adoption of this standard
had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
41
2.1.
Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out
below. These accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Standards, amendments and interpretations
not yet effective
2.1.1.2.
A number of new standards and amendments to
standards and interpretations are effective for
annual periods beginning after the financial year
under review and have not been applied in
preparing these consolidated financial statements.
None of these is expected to have a significant
effect on the consolidated financial statements of
the Group, except for:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective date:
January 1, 2015)
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, addresses the
classification, measurement and recognition of
financial assets and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 was
issued in November 2009, October 2010 and
amended in November 2013.
IFRS 9 replaces the parts of IAS 39 (as amended by
IFRS 9) Financial Instruments: Recognition and
measurement that relate to the classification and
measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9
requires financial assets to be classified into two
measurement categories: those measured as at fair
value and those measured at amortized cost. The
determination is made at initial recognition. The
classification depends on the entity’s business
model for managing its financial instruments and
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the
instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard
retains most of the IAS 39 requirements. The main
change is that, in cases where the fair value option
is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value
change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded
in other comprehensive income rather than the
income statement, unless this creates an accounting
mismatch. The Group is yet to assess IFRS 9’s full
impact. The Group will also consider the impact of
the remaining phases of IFRS 9 when issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board.
Further amendments to IFRS 9 were made with
respect to hedge accounting. The new requirements
align hedge accounting more closely with risk
management and also establish a more principlesbased approach to hedge accounting.
There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations
that are not yet effective that would be expected to
have a material impact on the Group.
42
2.2.
(a)
Consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured
entities) over which the Group has control. The
Group controls an entity when the Group is
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from
its involvement with the entity and has the ability to
affect those returns through its power over
the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from
the date on which control is transferred to the
Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that
control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used
to account for business combinations. The
consideration transferred for the acquisition of
a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets
transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former
owners of the acquiree and the equity instruments
issued by the Group. The consideration transferred
includes the fair value of any asset or liability
resulting from a contingent consideration
arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in
a business combination are measured initially at
their fair values at acquisition date. The Group
recognizes any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis,
either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s
proportionate share of the recognized amounts of
the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by
the Group is recognized at fair value on the
acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair
value of the contingent consideration that is
deemed to be an asset or a liability is recognized in
accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as
a change to the other comprehensive income.
Contingent consideration that is classified as
equity is not remeasured and its subsequent
settlement is accounted for within equity.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the
amount of any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any
previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair
value of the identifiable net assets acquired is
recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration
transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and
previously held interest measured is less than the
fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired
in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is
recognized directly in the income statement.
MiX Telematics ❯
Annual Report 2014
(b)
The Group’s share of its joint venture’s postacquisition profits or losses is recognized in the
income statement, and its share of post-acquisition
movements in other comprehensive income is
recognized in other comprehensive income. The
cumulative post-acquisition movements are
adjusted against the carrying amount of the
investment. When the Group’s share of losses in a
joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the
joint venture, including any other unsecured
receivables, the Group does not recognize further
losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive
obligations or made payments on behalf of the
joint venture.
Changes in ownership interests in
subsidiaries without a change of control
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling
interests that do not result in a loss of control as
transactions with equity owners of the Group, that
is transactions with the owners in their capacity
as owners. For purchases from non-controlling
interests, the difference between the fair value of
any consideration paid and the relevant share
acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the
subsidiary is recorded in equity.
The Group determines at each reporting date
whether there is any objective evidence that the
investment in the joint venture is impaired. If this
is the case, the Group calculates the amount
of impairment as the difference between the
recoverable amount of the joint venture and its
carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent
to its share of profit/(loss) of the joint venture in the
income statement.
Gains or losses on disposal to non-controlling
interests are also recorded in equity.
(c)
Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Group ceases to have control in an entity,
any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to
its fair value at the date when control is lost, with
the change in the carrying amount recognized in
profit and loss. The fair value is the initial carrying
amount for the purposes of subsequently
accounting for the retained interest as an associate,
joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any
amounts
previously
recognized
in
other
comprehensive income in respect of that entity are
accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed
of the related assets and liabilities. This may mean
that amounts previously recognized in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to the
income statement.
(d)
Joint arrangements
The Group has applied IFRS 11 to all joint
arrangements as of April 1, 2013. Under IFRS 11,
investments in joint arrangements are classified as
either joint operations or joint ventures depending
on the contractual rights and obligations of each
investor. The Group has assessed the nature of
its joint arrangement and determined that it was
a joint venture.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the
Group and its joint venture are eliminated to the
extent of the Group’s interest in the joint venture.
Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the
transaction provides evidence of an impairment of
the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the
joint venture have been changed where necessary
to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by
the Group.
2.3.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner
consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating
decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating
resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, has been identified collectively
as the executive committee and the Chief Executive
Officer who make strategic decisions.
Sales between segments are carried out at cost
plus a margin.

Overview
Inter-company
transactions,
balances

unrealized income/expenses on transactions

(a)
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
(iv)
Items included in the financial statements of each
of the Group’s entities are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment
in which the entity operates (“the functional
currency”). The consolidated financial statements
are presented in South African Rand (“R”), which is
the Group’s presentation currency.
(b)
On consolidation, exchange differences arising
from the translation of net investments in foreign
operations are taken to other comprehensive
income. When a foreign operation is fully disposed
of or sold (i.e., control is lost), exchange differences
that were recorded in equity are recognized in the
income statement as part of the gain or loss on
sale. A repayment/capitalization of a net investment
loan therefore does not result in any exchange
differences being transferred from equity to the
income statement unless it is part of a transaction
resulting in a loss of control. However, upon such
conversion/repayment, the amount previously
recognized in the shareholder’s loan revaluation
reserve is transferred to the foreign currency
translation reserve in the statement of comprehensive
income.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into
the functional currency using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions or date of
valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign
exchange gains and losses resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from
the translation at year end exchange rates of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognized in the income
statement.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the
acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets
and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at
the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are
recognized in other comprehensive income.
Foreign exchange gains/(losses) are classified as
“Finance income/(cost) – net”.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial
assets and liabilities such as equities classified
as available-for-sale, are included in other
comprehensive income.
(c)
(i)
Group companies
The results and financial position of all Group
entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional
currency different from the presentation currency
are translated into the presentation currency as
follows:
Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial
position presented are translated at the closing
rate at the date of that statement of financial
position;
(ii)
Income and expenses for each income statement
are translated at average exchange rates (unless
this average is not a reasonable approximation of
the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the
transaction dates, in which case income and
expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of
the transactions);
(iii)
All resulting exchange differences are recognized in
other comprehensive income; and
44
Equity items are measured at historical cost at the
time of recording, translated at the rate on the date
of recording and are not retranslated to closing
rates at reporting dates.
2.5.
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical
cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost
includes all expenditure directly attributable to the
acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are
included in the asset’s carrying amount or
recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the
Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part
is derecognized. Repairs and maintenance are
charged to the income statement in the financial
period in which they are incurred.
The cost of in-vehicle devices installed in vehicles
(including installation and shipping costs), as well
as the cost of uninstalled in-vehicle devices are
capitalized as property, plant and equipment. The
Group depreciates installed in-vehicle devices on a
straight-line basis over their expected useful lives,
commencing upon installation, whereas uninstalled
in-vehicle devices are not depreciated until installed.
The related depreciation expense is recorded as
part of cost of sales in the income statement.

(a)
Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of businesses
and represents the excess of consideration
transferred over the acquirer’s interest in the net
fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the
fair value of the non-controlling interests in the
acquiree. Goodwill on acquisition of businesses is
included in intangible assets. Gains and losses on
the disposal of an entity include the carrying
amount of the goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Patents and trademarks
Separately acquired patents and trademarks are
shown at historical cost. Patents and trademarks
acquired in a business combination are recognized
at fair value at the acquisition date. Patents and
trademarks have a finite useful life and are carried
at cost less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is
calculated using the straight-line method to
allocate the cost of patents and trademarks over
their estimated useful lives (4 to 20 years).
Gains and losses on disposal of an asset are
determined by comparing the proceeds with the
carrying amount and are recognized within “Other
income/(expenses) – net” in the income statement.
(c)
Customer relationships
Contractual customer relationships acquired in a
business combination are recognized at fair value
at the acquisition date. The contractual customer
relationships have a finite useful life and are carried
at cost less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is
calculated using the straight-line method over
the expected life of the customer relationship (3 to
5 years).
(d)
Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other
assets is calculated using the straight-line method
to reduce their cost to their residual values over
their estimated useful life, as follows:
2.5.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate a potential impairment, and is carried at
cost less accumulated impairment losses. The
carrying amount of goodwill is compared to the
recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in
use and the fair value less costs to sell. Impairment
losses recognized as an expense in relation to
goodwill are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill
is allocated to cash generating units for the purpose
of impairment testing. The allocation is made to
those cash generating units or groups of cash
generating units that are expected to benefit from
the business combination in which the goodwill
arose. Each unit or group of units to which the
goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level
within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored
for internal management purposes. Goodwill is
monitored at the operating segment level.
Computer software, technology, in-house
software and product development
Acquired computer software licenses are
capitalized on the basis of costs incurred to acquire
and bring the software into use. The acquired
computer software licenses have a finite useful life
and are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
These costs are amortized over their estimated
useful lives (1 to 5 years).

(d)
Intangible assets (continued)
Computer software, technology, in-house
software and product development (continued)
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by
which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell,
and value in use. In assessing the value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using the pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments on the time
value of money and the risks specific to the asset
for which the estimates of future cash flows have
not been adjusted.
In-house software and product development costs
that are directly attributable to the design, testing
and development of identifiable and unique
software and products, controlled by the Group,
are recognized as intangible assets when the
following criteria are met:
• It is technically feasible to complete the software
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets
are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating
units, i.e. operating segments). Non-financial
assets other than goodwill that have suffered
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of
the impairment at each reporting date.

• Management intends to complete the software
product and use it or sell it;
• There is an ability to use or sell the software
product;
• It can be demonstrated how the software will
generate probable future economic benefits;
• Adequate
technical, financial and other
resources to complete the development and use
or sell the software product are available; and
• The expenditure attributable to the software
product during its development can be reliably
measured.
Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as
part of the intangible assets include software and
product development employee costs and an
appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
Other development expenditures that do not meet
the criteria are recognized as an expense as
incurred. Development costs previously recognized
as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a
subsequent period if the criteria are subsequently
met.
Costs associated with maintaining computer
software programs are recognized as an expense
as incurred.
Computer software and product development
costs recognized as assets are amortized over their
estimated useful lives (1 to 12 years).
2.7.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example
goodwill, are not subject to amortization or
depreciation but are tested annually for impairment
or whenever there is an indication of impairment.
Assets that are subject to amortization or
depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

2.8.1.
Financial assets
Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the
following categories: loans and receivables and
available-for-sale. The classification depends
on the purpose for which the financial assets
were acquired. Management determines the
classification of its financial assets at initial
recognition.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial
assets with fixed or determinable payments that
are not quoted in an active market. They are
included in current assets, except for those with
maturities greater than 12 months after the end of
the reporting period, which are classified as noncurrent assets. The Group’s loans and receivables
comprise trade and other receivables, loans to
external parties, finance lease receivables,
restricted cash, and cash and cash equivalents in
the statement of financial position.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are nonderivative financial assets that are either designated
in this category or not classified in any of the other
categories. They are included in non-current assets
unless the investment matures or management
intends to dispose of the investment within
12 months of the end of the reporting period.
MiX Telematics ❯
Annual Report 2014
2.8.3.
The amount of the loss is measured as the
difference between the asset’s carrying amount
and the present value of estimated future cash
flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original
effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount
is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized
in the income statement. If a loan has a variable
interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any
impairment loss is the current effective interest rate
determined under the contract.
Measurement
Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate
method, less any impairment losses.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the
impairment loss decreases and the decrease can
be related objectively to an event occurring after
the impairment was recognized, the reversal of
the previously recognized impairment loss is
recognized in the income statement.
Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently
carried at fair value.
Changes in the fair value of monetary and nonmonetary securities classified as available-for-sale
are recognized in other comprehensive income.
The Group assesses, at the end of each reporting
period, whether there is objective evidence that a
financial asset or a group of financial assets is
impaired. In the case of equity securities classified
as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged
decline in the fair value of the security below its
cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired.
If any such evidence exists, the cumulative
impairment loss, measured as the difference
between the acquisition cost and the current fair
value, less any impairment loss on that financial
asset previously recognized in the income
statement, is removed from equity and recognized
in the income statement. Impairment losses
recognized in the income statement on equity
instruments are not reversed through the income
statement.
When securities classified as available-for-sale are
sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value
adjustments recognized in other comprehensive
income are reclassified to the income statement as
gains or losses on the investments.
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments
are recognized in the income statement as part of
other income when the Group’s right to receive
payments is established.
2.8.4.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses, at the end of each reporting
period, whether there is objective evidence that a
financial asset or a group of financial assets is
impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial
assets is impaired and impairment losses are
incurred only if there is objective evidence of
impairment as a result of one or more events that
occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a
“loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an
impact on the estimated future cash flows of the
financial asset or group of financial assets that can
be reliably estimated.
2.9.
Overview
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are
recognized on the trade date (the date on which the
Group commits to purchase or sell the asset).
Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus
transaction costs for all financial assets not carried
at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets
carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially
recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are
expensed in the income statement. Financial assets
are derecognized when the rights to receive cash
flows from the assets have expired or have been
transferred and the Group has transferred
substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

2.8.2.
Evidence of impairment may include indications
that the debtors or a group of debtors is
experiencing significant financial difficulty, default
or delinquency in interest or principal payments,
the probability that they will enter bankruptcy
or other financial reorganization, and where
observable data indicates that there is a measurable
decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such
as changes in arrears or economic conditions that
correlate with defaults.
Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net
amount reported in the statement of financial
position when there is a legally enforceable right to
offset the recognized amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net
realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in,
first-out (“FIFO”) or weighted average cost basis,
depending on the nature of the Group entity in
which it is held. The cost of finished goods includes
the cost of manufacturing as charged by third
parties. It excludes borrowing costs. Net realizable
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less applicable variable selling
expenses.
2.11.
Trade and other payables are initially recognized
at fair value and are subsequently measured
at amortized cost using the effective interest
rate method.
2.16.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities
unless the Group has an unconditional right to
defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months
after the reporting date.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers
for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary
course of business. If collection is expected in one
year or less they are classified as current assets. If
not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are
recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the
extent that it is probable that some or all of the
facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is
deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent
there is no evidence that it is probable that some or
all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is
capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services
and amortized over the period of the facility to
which it relates.
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair
value and subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest rate method, less
provision for impairment.
2.12.
Cash and cash equivalents included in the
statement of cash flows include cash on hand,
deposits held on call with banks and bank
overdrafts, all of which are available for use by the
Group and have an original maturity of less than
three months. Bank overdrafts are included within
current liabilities on the statement of financial
position.
2.13.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash includes short-term deposits and
amounts held in trusts that are not highly liquid and
is accounted for as loans and receivables.
2.14.
Stated capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental
external costs directly attributable to the issue
of new shares or the exercise of share options
are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from
the proceeds.
2.15.
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay
for goods or services that have been acquired in
the ordinary course of business from suppliers.
Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities
if payment is due within one year or less. If not,
they are presented as non-current liabilities.
48
Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net
of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are
subsequently carried at amortized cost; any
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction
costs) and the redemption value is recognized in
the income statement over the period of the
borrowings using the effective interest rate method.
2.17.
Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition, construction,
or production of qualifying assets, which are assets
that necessarily take a substantial period of time to
get ready for their intended use or sale, are
capitalized as part of the cost of that asset until such
time as the asset is substantially ready for its
intended use or sale. The amount of borrowing costs
eligible for capitalization is determined as follows:
• Actual borrowing costs on funds specifically
borrowed for the purpose of constructing or
producing a qualifying asset less any investment
income on the temporary investment of those
borrowings.
• Weighted average of the borrowing costs
applicable to the entity on funds generally
borrowed.
The borrowing costs capitalized do not exceed the
total borrowing costs incurred. The capitalization of
borrowing costs commences when:
• Expenditures for the asset have occurred;
• Borrowing costs have been incurred; and
• Activities that are necessary to prepare the asset
for its intended use or sale are in progress.
MiX Telematics ❯
Annual Report 2014
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or
loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.18.
2.18.1.
Taxation
Current and deferred income taxes
The tax expense for the year comprises current
and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income
statement, except to the extent that it relates to
items recognized in other comprehensive income
or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also
recognized in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the
basis of the tax laws enacted or substantially
enacted at the end of the reporting period in the
countries where the Company and its subsidiaries
operate and generate taxable income. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns
with respect to situations in which applicable tax
regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes
provisions where appropriate on the basis of
amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the
liability method, on temporary differences arising
between the tax base of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized
if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill;
deferred income tax assets are not accounted for if
they arise from the initial recognition of an asset or
liability in a transaction other than a business
combination that, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or
loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax
rates (and laws) that have been enacted or
substantially enacted by the reporting date and are
expected to apply when the related deferred
income tax asset is realized or the deferred income
tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to
the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profit will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilized.
2.18.2.
Dividends tax
Dividend withholding tax is payable at a rate of
15% on dividends distributed to shareholders. This
tax is not attributable to the Company but rather
paid to the tax authorities on behalf of the
shareholders
through
use
of
regulatory
intermediaries, with only the net amount of the
dividend being remitted to the shareholder.
2.19.
(a)
Employee benefits
Short-term benefits
Remuneration to employees in respect of services
rendered during a reporting period is recognized as
an expense in that reporting period. Provision is
made for accumulated leave and for short-term
benefits when there is no realistic alternative other
than to settle the liability, and at least one of the
following conditions is met:
Overview
Borrowing costs (continued)
Capitalization is suspended during extended
periods in which active development is interrupted.
Capitalization ceases when substantially all the
activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset
for its intended use or sale are completed.
2.17.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary
differences arising on investments in subsidiaries
and joint ventures, except where the timing of the
reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by
the Group and it is probable that the temporary
difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset
when there is a legally enforceable right to offset
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and
when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities
relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority on either the same taxable entity or
different taxable entities where there is an intention
to settle the balances on a net basis.
• There is a formal plan and the amounts to be
paid are determined before the time of issuing
the financial statements; or
• Achievement of previously agreed bonus criteria
has created a valid expectation by employees
that they will receive a bonus and the amount
can be determined before the time of issuing the
(b)
Defined contribution plan
The Group operates defined contribution plans.
A defined contribution plan is one under which the
Group pays a fixed percentage of employees’
remuneration as contributions into a separate fund,
and the Group will have no further legal or
constructive obligations to pay additional
contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient
assets to pay all employee benefits relating to
employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans in
respect of services rendered during a period are
recognized as staff costs when they are due.

(c)
Employee benefits (continued)
Short-term incentives – bonus
which is the period over which all of the specified
vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of
each reporting period, the Group revises its
estimates of the number of options that are
expected to vest based on the non-market vesting
conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision
to original estimates, if any, in the income statement,
with a corresponding entry to equity.
The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for
bonuses based on the achievement of defined key
performance criteria. An accrual is recognized
where the Group is contractually obliged or where
there is a past practice that has created a
constructive obligation.
(d)
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment
is terminated by the Group before the normal
retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts
voluntary redundancy in exchange for these
benefits. The Group recognizes termination benefits
at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the
Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those
benefits; and (b) when the entity recognizes costs
for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37
Provisions and involves payment of termination
benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage
voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are
measured based on the number of employees
expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due
more than 12 months after the end of the reporting
period are discounted to their present value.
2.20.
When the options are exercised, the Company issues
new shares. The proceeds received, net of any
directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to
stated capital (as they are no par value shares).
2.21.
Provisions which are expected to be settled in a
period greater than 12 months are discounted to
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate
that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to
the obligation. The increase in the provision due
to the passage of time is recognized as an interest
expense.
Share-based payments
The Group operates an equity-settled share-based
compensation plan, under which the entity receives
services from employees as consideration for
equity instruments (share options) of the Group.
The fair value, determined at grant date, of
the employee services received in exchange for the
grant of share options is recognized as an expense
at a Group level with a corresponding credit to
equity. The total amount to be expensed is
determined by reference to the grant date fair value
of the options issued:
Provision for the estimated liability on all products
under warranty is made on the basis of claims
experience.
Provision for the estimated liability for maintenance
costs is made on a per unit basis when the
obligation to repair occurs.
Provision for the anticipated costs associated with
the restoration of leasehold property is based on
the Group’s best estimate of those costs required
to restore the property to its original condition.
• Including any market performance conditions;
• Excluding the impact of any service and nonmarket performance vesting conditions (for
example, remaining an employee of the entity
over a specified time period); and
• Including the impact of any non-vesting
conditions.
Non-market performance and service conditions
are included in the assumptions about the number
of options that are expected to vest. The total
expense is recognized over the vesting period,
50
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a
present legal or constructive obligation as a result
of a past event for which it is probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of
the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not
recognized for future operating losses.
2.22.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable for the sale of
goods or services in the ordinary course of the
Group’s activities. Revenue includes amounts earned
on the sale of hardware units, subscription service
sales to customers, installation revenue and cellular
network connection and upgrade incentives.
Revenue is shown net of discounts, value added tax,
returns and after eliminating sales within the Group.
MiX Telematics ❯
Annual Report 2014
The Group recognizes revenue when the amount of
revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable
that future economic benefits will flow to the entity
and specific criteria have been met for each of the
Group’s activities, as outlined below. The Group
bases its estimates on historical results, taking into
consideration the type of customer, the type of
transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
Invoicing for the various products and services,
when sold separately or as part of a multiple
element arrangement, occurs based on the specific
contractual terms and conditions.
The Group distributes products to small fleet
customers and consumers through distributors.
Distributors act as agents and hardware revenue is
only recognized when the distributor sells the
hardware unit to the end customer or consumer.
Once a unit is sold to a customer or consumer, the
customer or consumer enters into a service
agreement directly with the Group for the product.
The obligation to supply the service and the credit
risk rests with the Group. The service revenue is
recognized when the service is rendered (i.e. on a
monthly basis).
The Group distributes products to enterprise fleet
customers through dealers. Dealers are considered
principals in respect of the sale of hardware and
revenue is recognized upon sale of the hardware
unit to the dealer. Similar to the relationship with
consumers and small fleet customers originated
through distributors, the responsibility for providing
services rests with the Group and revenue is
recognized as the service is rendered.
(a)
Subscription revenue
Subscription revenue is recognized over the term of
the agreement as it is earned. When contracted
services are performed through a number of repetitive
acts over the contract period, revenue is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the contract period.
(c)
Driver training and other services
Revenue is recognized at the contractual hourly/
daily rate in the period during which the training
is performed.
(d)
Connection and upgrade incentive revenue
Revenue from cellular network connection and
upgrade incentives is recognized on the date of
installation of a unit in a vehicle, which is considered
to be the point at which the Group has substantially
completed its service obligation to the cellular
network.
(e)
Rental revenue
Where hardware is provided as part of a service
contract the risk and rewards of ownership do not
transfer and service revenue from the rental unit is
recognized over the period of the service and
included in subscription revenue.
(f)
Installation revenue
Revenue earned from the installation of hardware
in customer vehicles is recognized once the
installation has been completed.
(g)
Extended product warranties
The fair value of the consideration relating to
extended warranty periods is deferred and
recognized over the extended warranty period.
During the periods presented, the Group did not
offer extended warranties. However, repair services
are provided. Revenue, in respect of repair services,
which forms part of the monthly subscription, is
recognized on a monthly basis over the period of
the service arrangement.
2.23.
Interest income
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion
basis with reference to the principal amount
receivable and the effective interest rate applicable.
2.24.
Overview
The Group offers certain arrangements whereby
the customer can purchase a combination of the
products and services as referred to above. Where
such multiple element arrangements exist, the
amount of revenue allocated to each element is
based on the relative fair values of the various
elements offered in the arrangement. When
applying the relative fair value approach, the fair
values of each element are determined based on
the current market price of each of the elements
when sold separately.
Revenue recognition (continued)
Hardware sales
All hardware has value on a standalone basis.
Revenue from hardware sales is recognized once
the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred.
2.22.
(b)
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognized when the right to
receive payment is established.
2.25.
Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever
the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All
other leases are classified as operating leases.

Leases (continued)
The Group as a lessor
When assets are leased out under a finance lease,
the present value of the lease payments is
recognized as a receivable. The difference between
the gross receivable and the present value of the
receivable is recognized as unearned finance
income. The method for allocating gross earnings
to accounting periods is referred to as the “actuarial
method”.
The actuarial method allocates rentals between
finance income and repayment of capital in each
accounting period in such a way that finance
income will emerge as a constant rate of return on
the lessor’s net investment in the lease. When
assets are leased out under an operating lease, the
asset is included in the statement of financial
position based on the nature of the asset. Lease
income on operating leases is recognized over the
term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
2.25.2.
2.26.
2.27.
Government grants related to non-current assets
are deducted in arriving at the carrying value of the
asset. The grant is recognized in profit or loss over
the life of the asset as a reduced depreciation
expense.

Financial risk management
3.1.
Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of
financial risks: market risk (including foreign
exchange risk, interest rate risk, and price risk),
credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall
risk management program focuses on the
unpredictability of financial markets as it relates to
foreign exchange risk and seeks to minimize
potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial
performance. Risk management is carried out
under policies approved by the Board of Directors.
The Board has provided a written policy covering
specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk.
The Group as a lessee
Each lease payment is allocated between the
liability and finance charges. The corresponding
rental obligations, net of finance charges, are
included in borrowings. The interest element of the
finance cost is charged to the income statement
over the lease period so as to produce a constant
periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of
the liability for each period. The property, plant and
equipment acquired under finance leases is
depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the
asset and the lease term. The Group had no finance
lease liabilities during the current fiscal year.
52
Government grants
Grants from the government are recognized at their
fair value where there is reasonable assurance that
the grant will be received and the Group will comply
with all attached conditions.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks
and rewards of ownership are retained by the
lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments
made under operating leases are charged to the
income statement on a straight-line basis over the
term of the relevant lease.
The Group leases certain property, plant and
equipment. Leases of property, plant and
equipment, where the Group has substantially all
the risks and rewards of ownership, are classified
as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at
the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair
value of the leased property and the present value
of the minimum lease payments.
Dividend distribution
Any dividend distribution to the Company’s
shareholders is recognized as a liability in the
Group’s financial statements in the period in which
the dividends are approved by the Company’s
Board of Directors.
(a)
(i)
Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed
to foreign exchange risk arising from various
currency exposures, primarily with respect to
the United States Dollar, the South African Rand,
the Euro, the Australian Dollar and the British Pound.
Foreign exchange risk arises when future
commercial transactions or recognized assets and
liabilities and net investments in foreign operations
are denominated in a currency that is not the
entity’s functional currency.
The Group has implemented a foreign currency
hedging policy to limit the Group’s exposure to
fluctuations in foreign currencies which is mainly
based on economic hedging principles as opposed
to using derivative financial instruments.
MiX Telematics ❯
Annual Report 2014
Credit risk relating to accounts receivable balances
is managed by each local entity which is responsible
for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each
of their new clients before standard payment and
delivery terms and conditions are offered. The
Group has a policy in place governing the allowance
for credit losses.
As a result of the US initial public offering proceeds
being retained in United States Dollars, the Group’s
foreign currency exposure has been significantly
increased. A financial risk sensitivity analysis is
presented in note 38.
(ii)
Interest rate risk
Cash investments are only placed with high-quality
financial institutions rated BBB and above (note 14).
All changes in or new banking arrangements
entered into are approved by the Board. Refer to
note 12 for further disclosure on credit risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or
future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk arises from
borrowings, loans to external parties, restricted
cash, cash and cash equivalents and the bank
overdraft. Borrowings and bank overdrafts issued
at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow
interest rate risk which is partly offset by financial
assets held at variable rates (i.e. cash and cash
equivalents and restricted cash).
The Group is not exposed to fair value interest rate
risk as the Group does not have any interestbearing financial instruments carried at fair value.
Interest rates are constantly monitored and
appropriate steps are taken to ensure that the
Group’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations is
limited. This includes obtaining approval from the
Board for all changes to and new borrowing
facilities entered into during the year. Refer to note
38 for interest rate risk sensitivity analysis.
(iii)
Price risk
Currently the Group does not have significant
price risk. The Group is not exposed to commodity
price risk.
(c)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that there will be insufficient
funds available to settle obligations when they
are due.
The Group has limited liquidity risk due to surplus
cash balances and the recurring nature of its
income which generates strong cash inflows. The
level of cash balances in the Group is monitored
weekly and cash generated from operations is
reviewed against planned cash flows on a monthly
basis. In addition, working capital reviews are
performed monthly.
Surplus cash is invested in interest-bearing current
accounts and time-deposits that are expected
to readily generate cash inflows for managing
liquidity risk.
Overview
The Group has certain investments in foreign
operations, whose net assets are exposed to
foreign currency translation risk. Currency exposure
arising from the assets of the Group's foreign
operations is reduced as a result of assets and
liabilities denominated in the same foreign
currencies.
Financial risk factors (continued)
Market risk (continued)
Foreign exchange risk (continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a
financial instrument will fail to discharge an
obligation and cause the Group to incur a financial
loss. Credit risk arises from cash and cash
equivalents, as well as credit exposures to
customers and in respect of loans provided to
external parties. The maximum exposure to credit
risk is represented by the carrying amount of each
financial asset in the statement of financial position,
net of impairment losses where relevant.

Estimates and judgements are continually
evaluated and are based on historical experience
and other factors, including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances.
Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are
to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a
going concern while enhancing the returns for
shareholders and ensuring benefits for other
stakeholders. The Board of Directors monitors
capital by reviewing the net debt position and the
net gearing ratio. Gearing is calculated as net debt
divided by total equity. Net debt is calculated as
total borrowings (including current and non-current
borrowings as shown in the statement of financial
position) less net cash and cash equivalents. Total
capital is calculated as “total equity” as shown in
the statement of financial position.
In order to maintain the capital structure, the Group
may return capital to shareholders, issue new
shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions
concerning the future. The resulting accounting
estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the
related actual results. The estimates and
assumptions that have significant risk of causing a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities during the 2015 fiscal year are
outlined below:
(a)
(b)
Fair value estimation
markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included
within level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or
indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are
not based on observable market data (that is,
unobservable inputs).
The available-for-sale financial assets have been
classified as level 3 as there are no observable
inputs available for use in valuing these investments.
See note 9 for further disclosures about the
available-for-sale financial assets measured at
fair value.
54
Maintenance provision
The Group, in some instances, offers maintenance
services as part of its revenue contracts.
Management estimates the related provision for
maintenance costs per vehicle when the obligation
to repair occurs.
Additional analysis of financial instruments carried
at fair value, by valuation method has been set out
in note 9. The different levels of the fair value
hierarchy as required by IFRS 13 have been defined
as follows:
• Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
Warranty claims
The Group generally offers warranties on its
hardware units. Management estimates the related
provision for future warranty claims based on
historical warranty claim information, as well as
recent trends that might suggest that past cost
information may differ from future claims.
There were no changes to the Group’s approach to
capital management during the year. The Group
was not subject to any financial covenants on its
borrowings during the 2013 and 2014 fiscal years.
3.3.
Critical accounting estimates
and judgements
(c)
Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous
jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in
determining the worldwide provision for income
taxes. Where applicable, tax legislation is subject
to interpretation, management makes assessments,
based on expert tax advice, of the relevant tax that
is likely to be paid and provides accordingly. When
the final outcome is determined and there is a
difference this is recognized in the period in which
the final outcome is determined.

Critical accounting estimates
and judgements (continued)
Estimated impairment of goodwill
(e)
Overview
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has
suffered any impairment in accordance with the
accounting policy stated in note 2.7. The
recoverable amount of cash generating units has
been based on value-in-use calculations. These
calculations require the use of estimates (note 7).
Product development cost
Product development cost directly attributable to
the design and testing of identifiable and unique
software products controlled by the Group are
recorded as intangible assets by the Group when
the criteria in note 2.6 have been met. The
assessment as to when these criteria have been
met is subjective and capitalization has been based
on management’s best judgement of facts and
circumstances in existence at year-end.
Receivables allowance
The valuation allowance for trade receivables
reflects the Group’s estimates of losses arising
from the failure or inability of the Group’s customers
to make required payments. The allowance is
based on the ageing of customer accounts,
customer creditworthiness and the Group’s
historical write-off experience. Changes to the
allowance may be required if the financial condition
of the Group’s customers improves or deteriorates.
An improvement in financial condition may result in
lower actual write-offs. Historically, changes to the
estimate of losses have not been material to the
Group’s financial position and results.

Segment information
Segments are organized by geography and by product type. The Group’s products and services revolve around its
brands and the customers that it serves and hence it splits the segments based on the geography from which the
customer is serviced and between fleet and consumer from a product offering perspective, which takes into account
the types of products and services provided by each segment.
Consumer solutions include the Group’s Matrix and Beam-e branded products and are sold to individual consumers
and fleet owners who require basic vehicle tracking and recovery and entry-level fleet management functionality.
The Group’s fleet solutions include MiX branded products and are sold to small fleet owners and larger enterprise
fleet customers.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Group changed the way it presents additions to non-current assets.
The additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are now presented gross of any inter-segment
elimination entries, with inter-segment eliminations presented within “Corporate and consolidation entries”. This was
done to provide consistency with the manner in which total assets per reportable segment are reviewed by the chief
operating decision-maker. The table above presents the segment information on this revised basis, with the prior years
amended to conform to the current year presentation.
57
The additions to non-current assets which are included in the measure of segment assets provided to the Group’s chief
operating decision-maker for the reportable segments for the year ended March 31, 2014 are as follows:
There are no material non-cash items provided to the Group’s chief operating decision-maker other than disclosed in
the reconciliation of profit for the year to EBITDA below.

Overview
The Group’s businesses are managed primarily on a geographic and also on a product basis. During the current fiscal
year, a new segment profit measure was implemented, Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, which has replaced the
EBITDA segment profit measure previously presented, is defined as follows: profit for the year before income taxes, net
finance income/(expense), depreciation of property, plant and equipment including capitalized customer in-vehicle
devices, amortization of intangible assets including capitalized in-house development costs, share-based compensation
costs, transaction costs arising from the acquisition of a business, restructuring costs, profits/(losses) on the disposal
or impairments of assets or subsidiaries, certain non-recurring initial public offering costs, unrealized foreign exchange
gains/(losses) and foreign exchange gains/(losses) related to the cash proceeds raised through the initial public offering.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to profit for the year is disclosed below.

The revenue from external parties reported to the Group’s chief operating decision-maker is measured in a manner
consistent with that in the income statement. The amounts provided to the Group’s chief operating decision-maker
with respect to total assets are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements. These assets are
allocated based on the physical location of the asset.
(2)
Revenue generated by the South African-based operating segments of the Group (i.e. Africa and International) to its
local and foreign-based customers amounted to R650.3 million (2013: R615.2 million, 2012: R601.3 million) for the
2014 fiscal year, whereas revenue generated by the foreign-based segments of the Group (i.e. Europe, Americas,
East Africa, Middle East, Brazil and Australasia) to its local and foreign-based customers amounted to R621.3 million
(2013: R556.2 million, 2012: R417.2 million).
Total non-current assets other than financial instruments and deferred tax assets located in South Africa is R380.6 million
(2013: R318.5 million), and the total of these non-current assets located in foreign countries is R22.9 million (2013:
R14.1 million).

The recoverable amount of all CGUs is determined based on value-in-use calculations, which use pre-tax cash flow
projections based on approved financial budgets covering a three to five-year period. A five-year period was used to
ensure that, in respect of the Europe fleet solutions segment, stable cash flows are used for purposes of calculating
terminal values included in the value-in-use calculations. These cash flows are based on the current market conditions
and near-term expectations.
Overview
The Group has capitalized borrowing costs amounting to R0.01 million (2013: R0.3 million, 2012: R0.8 million) on
qualifying assets during the 2014 fiscal year. Borrowing costs were capitalized at the weighted average rate of its
general borrowings of 7.3% (2013: 7.3%, 2012: 7.8%).
An impairment loss, amounting to R0.1 million (2013: R5.2 million, 2012: R1.3 million) in the International operating
segment (notes 5, 24 and 32.2), arose due to the recoverable amount being less than the carrying value of certain
identified intangible assets. The impairment loss has been included in administration and other charges in the
income statement.

The discount rates were calculated using the capital asset pricing model. These rates are pre-tax and reflect specific risks
relating to the relevant CGUs. The growth rate has been determined based on the expected long-term inflation outlook.
Europe fleet solutions goodwill sensitivity
To determine the recoverable amount of its investment in the Europe fleet solutions’ CGU, the Group calculated future
net cash flows of the CGU and discounted them to their present value using the rates as indicated above. The
calculation of the CGU’s discounted net present value requires extensive use of estimates and assumptions about
discount rates and forecasted cash flows. Due to a restructuring process and the acquisition of new business contracts,
the business’ operating performance is gradually improving. The forecast cash flows at March 31, 2014 reflect the
current market conditions for the European economy and near-term expectations. To the extent that anticipated new
contracts do not materialize and the business strategy does not come to fruition, or key personnel are not retained, the
forecasts could be negatively impacted.
At March 31, 2014, the date at which the impairment testing was performed, Europe fleet solutions’ recoverable
amount exceeded the carrying amount by 165.5%.
A 19.4% pre-tax discount rate, or a 62.3% decrease of the projected cash flows, would reduce the headroom for the
Europe fleet solutions’ CGU to nil. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

Investment in joint venture
The investment in joint venture previously included the Group’s 60% interest held in Matrixvtrack Nig. Limited, an
unlisted company incorporated in Nigeria and was denominated in Nigerian Naira (“NGN”). The investment was
disposed of on April 30, 2013 for NGN1 (equal to 6 South African cents) which equated to the profit on the sale of the
investment, as its carrying amount had been nil at disposal date.
The Group has not earned any share of income or loss for the 2014 fiscal year. The Group did not recognize its portion
of the profit for the 2013 fiscal year of R0.2 million (2012: R0.1 million) due to the existence of accumulated losses not
yet recovered. There were no contingent liabilities nor commitments relating to the Group’s interest in the joint venture
and there were no contingent liabilities of the venture itself.

Available-for-sale financial asset
Available-for-sale financial assets include the following listed securities:
1,288,920 ordinary shares in Datatrak Malta Limited, which is denominated in Euro
The Group impaired the available-for-sale financial asset in full in the 2011 fiscal year as there was no demonstrable
active market for trading these shares and no income is expected to be derived from this investment in the foreseeable
future. The position remained unchanged at the end of the 2014 fiscal year.
There were no additions or disposals of available-for-sale financial assets during the 2014 or 2013 fiscal years.
The available-for-sale financial assets have been classified as level 3 as there are no observable inputs available for use
in valuing these investments.

The creation of the provision for impairment of trade receivables has been included in administration and other charges
in the income statement. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any change in the
credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted until the end of the reporting year.
Amounts charged to the allowance account are generally written off when there is no expectation of recovering
additional cash.
Trade receivables of R30.9 million (2013: R20.3 million) are pledged as security for the Group's overdraft facilities
(note 17).
The fair value of trade and other receivables approximate their book values as the impact of discounting is not
considered material due to the short-term nature of the receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the
reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivable mentioned above. Other than 10% of the gross receivable
balance relating to one debtor at the end of the 2014 fiscal year (2013: 12% of the gross receivable balance relating to
one debtor), the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, due to its spread of customers across various
operations and geographical locations. The Group does not hold any collateral as security.

The ordinary shares with a par value of 0.002 cents were converted to ordinary shares with no par value on October 25,
2012, the date that the new Memorandum of Incorporation was accepted by the Companies and Intellectual Property
Commission in South Africa.
The total authorized number of ordinary shares at the end of the financial year amounted to 1 billion shares (2013: 1 billion)
with no par value. All issued shares are fully paid up and carry one vote per share and the right to dividends. There were
no changes to the authorized number of ordinary shares during the current or prior financial year.
In terms of a special resolution approved on August 1, 2013 a new class of no par value shares, consisting of 100 million
preference shares, was created. No preference shares have been issued to date.

On August 9, 2013, following a successful US initial public offering of American Depositary Shares or “ADSs”, each of
which represents 25 ordinary shares at no par value, the Company’s ADSs were listed on the New York Stock Exchange
and are traded under the symbol MIXT. As part of the US initial public offering of ADSs, the Company issued 4,400,000
ADSs on August 14, 2013 and raised R649.9 million for the Company (before expenses amounting to R27.0 million).
Selling shareholders sold an additional 2,840,512 ADSs, resulting in a total capital raise by the Company and selling
shareholders, prior to underwriting discount, of R1,150 million. The Company did not receive any proceeds from ADSs
that were sold by the selling shareholders.

Share options
Share options are granted to directors and certain key employees within the Group. The exercise price of the options
granted is equal to the weighted average market value of ordinary shares for the 20 days preceding the date of the
grant. The options vest in tranches of 25% per annum, commencing on the second anniversary of the grant date and
expire six years after the grant date. In addition to these vesting periods, the vesting of the share options granted are
conditional on certain performance conditions being met, namely the share price on the associated measurement date
being in excess of the target, after being reduced by the aggregate amount of dividends paid, or an annual total
shareholder return in excess of 10% and 5%, taking into account any dividends paid during the vesting period, being
achieved. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in cash.

As the shares were only listed on the JSE on November 12, 2007, the volatility was calculated using a mixture of the
Company’s historical share data, as well as the share data of comparable companies.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the 2013 fiscal year was determined using a combination of
the Monte Carlo Simulation option pricing model and the Binomial Tree option pricing model. The key drivers and
assumptions input into the valuation models used to determine these values are disclosed below.

No new options were granted during the 2014 fiscal year.

investment in foreign operations.
**Upon capitalization/settlement of certain net investment loans, amounts that were previously recognized in the shareholder’s loan
revaluation reserve have been transferred to the foreign currency translation reserve.
***During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Group acquired a non-controlling equity interest held by a minority shareholder in one
of its subsidiaries in exchange for a share consideration. The reserve represents the difference between the consideration paid and the
Group's share in the net asset value of the subsidiary acquired and has been recorded in equity.

The Investec overdraft facility is for a two-year period and the next renewal date is January 31, 2015. The Standard
Bank and Nedbank facilities have no fixed renewal date and are repayable on demand.
Included in the bank overdraft (note 14) are overdraft facilities from Investec Bank Limited and Standard Bank Limited
which were secured by the following at March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013:
Investec Bank Limited
• Cession of all rights, title and interest in and to the subscriber contracts of MiX Telematics Africa Proprietary Limited;
The Group did not default on any payments or breach any loan agreement term during the current or previous
financial year.
The fair value of the Investec loan equals its carrying amounts, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The fair
values are based on cash flows discounted using the prime interest rate less 0.5% and are within level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy. Other borrowings are treated in a similar manner except for discounting, for which prime interest rate is used.
Overview
Borrowings (continued)
The loans are all denominated in South African Rand.
Standard Bank Limited
• Cross suretyships between the following Group companies:
– MiX Telematics Africa Proprietary Limited;
– MiX Telematics International Proprietary Limited; and

Retirement benefits
It is the policy of the Group to provide retirement benefits to all its South African, United Kingdom, United States,
Brazilian and Australian employees. All these retirement benefits are defined contribution plans and are held in separate
trustee-administered funds. These plans are generally funded by both member and Company contributions except in
the United States where no Group contribution is made. The South African plan is subject to the Pension Funds Act of
1956, the UK plan is subject to the United Kingdom Pensions Act 2011 (Commencement No 3) and the Australian plan
is subject to the Superannuation Guarantee Administration Act of 1992. In Brazil, the Group contributes to a mandatory
state social contribution plan known as Regime Geral de Previdência Social (“RGPS”) and a private social contribution
plan called Regime de Previdência Complementar (“RPC”), which is optional. For the United States employees a
voluntary Internal Revenue Service section 401(k) tax-deferred defined contribution scheme is offered. The full extent
of the Group’s liability is the contributions made, which are charged to the income statement as they are incurred. The
total Group contribution to such schemes in 2014 was R17.8 million (2013: R14.5 million, 2012: R12.8 million) (note 24).

Taxation (continued)
Tax rate reconciliation
The tax on the Group’s profit before taxation differs from the
theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax
rate applicable to profits of the entities as follows:
Tax at the applicable tax rate of 28%
Tax effect of:
– Income not subject to tax
– Expenses not deductible for tax purposes
– Secondary tax on companies
– Withholding tax
– Utilization of prior year assessed losses
– Foreign tax paid
– Foreign tax rate differential
– Deferred tax not recognized on assessed losses
– Deferred tax previously not recognized
– (Over)/under provision prior years
– Tax incentives in addition to incurred cost
– Other
The Group’s weighted average tax rate is 28.6%
(2013: 28.6%, 2012: 28.1%).

Earnings per share
Basic
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
Basic earnings per share (R)
Diluted
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the diluted profit
attributable to owners of the parent by the diluted weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue during the year (assuming
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares). The Group has
one category of diluted potential ordinary shares – share options, for
which a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that
could have been acquired at fair value (determined at the closing
market share price) based on the monetary value of the subscription
rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares
calculated is compared with the number of shares that would have
been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

Notes
On December 19, 2013, the Group acquired a proprietary software development business from Roitech Proprietary
Limited, constituting employees and specific assets and liabilities. The business acquired has developed customizable
software which comprises a smartphone application and a web-based user interface, and uses mobile and geographic
information systems (“GIS”) technologies for the effective management of in-field data collection, distribution and tracking
which may be applied to areas such as sales teams, research teams, meter readers and vehicle tracking and driver
monitoring. The services offered by the business complement the Group’s existing fleet management solutions and the
acquisition broadens the array of services offered to current and future fleet management customers.
Overview
2014
On May 1, 2012, the Group acquired the business of Intellichain Proprietary Limited, or “Intellichain” (constituting
employees and specific assets and liabilities), a supply chain management software business. The services offered by
Intellichain are compatible with the Group’s existing fleet management solutions and the acquisition broadens the array
of services offered to current and future fleet management customers. The purchase consideration of the acquisition
consisted of the outstanding loan advanced to Intellichain in the prior fiscal year including interest accrued.
No material acquisition-related expenses were incurred in relation to the acquisition of the business.
The post-acquisition revenue earned during the 2013 fiscal year of R6.6 million and the post-acquisition loss of R1.6 million
were included in the 2013 consolidated results.

Financial risk sensitivity analysis (continued)
Foreign currency sensitivity
The Group has used a sensitivity analysis technique that measures the estimated change to profit or loss and equity of
an instantaneous 5% strengthening or weakening in the functional currency against all other currencies, from the rate
applicable at March 31, 2014, for each class of financial instrument with all other variables remaining constant. This
analysis is for illustrative purposes only as, in practice, market rates rarely change in isolation.
The Group is exposed mainly to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in respect of the South African Rand, Australian
Dollar, United States Dollar, the British Pound and the Euro. This analysis considers the impact of changes in foreign
exchange rates on profit or loss or equity, excluding foreign exchange translation differences resulting from the translation
of the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency, into the Group’s presentation
currency (and recognized in the foreign currency translation reserve).
A change in the foreign exchange rates to which the Group is exposed at the reporting date would have increased/
(decreased) profit before taxation/equity by the amounts shown below.
The analysis has been performed on the basis of the change occurring at the end of the reporting period.

The following liquid resources are available:
The Group has limited risk due to the recurring nature of its income and the availability of liquid resources. The Group
meets its financing requirements through a mixture of cash generated from its operations and short and long-term
borrowings. In addition, the Group has access to undrawn borrowing facilities (note 17).
Overview
Liquidity risk is the risk that there will be insufficient funds available to settle obligations when they are due.
There have been no significant changes in the Group’s financial risk management described above relative to the prior year.

Reclassification
During the 2014 fiscal year, the Group changed its classification of foreign exchange gains and losses in the income
statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses, which were previously classified as part of “Other income/(expenses) –
net”, are now classified as part of “Finance income/(cost) – net”. The change is considered a more relevant presentation
of such items in the income statement since the majority of foreign exchange gains and losses in 2014 relate to translation
differences on foreign currency cash and cash equivalents arising from the initial public offering proceeds.
The reclassification has been adopted retrospectively and the comparative amounts for the years ended March 31, 2013
and March 31, 2012 have been adjusted accordingly.
The impact of the reclassification results in an increase of R4.7 million and R1.6 million in “Operating profit” with a
corresponding additional cost in “Finance income/(cost) – net” for the years ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012,
respectively. Profit before taxation and profit for the period remain unchanged for the periods disclosed.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the diluted profit attributable to
owners of the parent by the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares in
issue during the year (assuming conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares).
The Company has one category of diluted potential ordinary shares — share options,
for which a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have
been acquired at fair value (determined at the closing market share price) based on
the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options.
The number of shares calculated is compared with the number of shares that would
have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

Financial risk sensitivity analysis
Interest rate sensitivity
A change of 100 basis points in the interest rate at the reporting date would have
increased/(decreased) profit or loss before tax by the amounts shown below. This
analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed
on the same basis for the year ended March 31, 2013. Increase of 100 basis points
Foreign currency sensitivity
The Company has used a sensitivity analysis technique that measures the estimated change to profit or loss and equity
of an instantaneous 5% strengthening or weakening in the functional currency against all other currencies, from the rate
applicable at March 31, 2014, for each class of financial instrument with all other variables remaining constant. This
analysis is for illustrative purposes only as, in practice, market rates rarely change in isolation.
The Company is exposed mainly to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in respect of the South African Rand, US Dollar, the
UK Pound and the Brazilian Real. This analysis considers the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on profit or loss.
A change in the foreign exchange rates to which the Group is exposed at the reporting date would have increased/
(decreased) profit before taxation by the amounts shown below.
The analysis has been performed on the basis of the change occurring at the end of the reporting period.

Reclassification
During the current fiscal year, the Company changed its classification of foreign exchange gains and losses in the income
statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses, which were previously classified as part of “Other income/(expenses) –
net”, are now classified as part of “Finance income/(cost) – net”. The change is considered a more relevant presentation
of such items in the income statement since the majority of foreign exchange gains and losses in 2014 relate to translation
differences on foreign currency cash and cash equivalents arising from the initial public offering proceeds.
The reclassification has been adopted retrospectively and the comparative amounts for the year ended March 31, 2013
have been adjusted accordingly.
The impact of the reclassification results in a decrease of R0.3 million in “Operating profit” with a corresponding additional
income in “Finance income/(cost) – net” for the year ended March 31, 2013. Profit before taxation and profit for the period
remain unchanged for the period disclosed.
