Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(All amounts in tables stated in thousands or thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required for interim financial reporting. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair representation of financial results for the interim periods presented.

References to “Net1” are references solely to Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. References to the “Company” refer to Net1 and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business

The COVID-19 pandemic did not impact the Company’s South African operations as severely during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the last four months of the year ended June 30, 2020. Nevertheless, as the date of this report, South Africa remains under various lockdown restrictions, which continue to affect the broader economy and these affect the Company to the extent they affect economic activity levels in South Africa.

The broader implications of COVID-19 on the Company’s results of operations and overall financial performance continue to remain uncertain. While the Company has not incurred significant disruptions thus far from the COVID-19 outbreak, apart from the two months in April and May 2020 when loan origination was curtailed, the Company is unable to accurately predict the impact that COVID-19 will have due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity and duration of the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact on the Company’s customers and other factors. The Company will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact on its business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition.

Recent accounting pronouncements adopted

There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of September 30, 2020

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance regarding Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, an entity is required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, which reflects losses that are probable. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect the impact on its financial results to be material.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance regarding Disclosure Framework: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The guidance modifies the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statement’s disclosure.

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of September 30, 2020 (continued)

In November 2019, the FASB issued guidance regarding Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging(Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). The guidance provides a framework to stagger effective dates for future major accounting standards and amends the effective dates for certain major new accounting standards to give implementation relief to certain types of entities, including Smaller Reporting Companies. The Company is a Smaller Reporting Company. Specifically, the guidance changes some effective dates for certain new standards on the following topics in the FASB Codification, namely Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815); Leases (ASC 842); Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326); and Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). The guidance defers the adoption date of guidance regarding Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments by the Company from July 1, 2020 to July 1, 2023, and defers the adoption guidance regarding Disclosure Framework: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement by the Company from July 1, 2020 to July 1, 2021.

In January 2020, the FASB issued guidance regarding Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The guidance clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require an entity to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with U.S GAAP guidance immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The guidance also clarifies that, when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options an entity should not consider, whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value option. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statement’s disclosure.

4. Fair value of financial instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial instruments are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the transaction. Initial measurements are at cost, which includes transaction costs.

Risk management

The Company manages its exposure to currency exchange, translation, interest rate, customer concentration, credit and equity price and liquidity risks as discussed below.

Currency exchange risk

The Company is subject to currency exchange risk because it purchases inventories that it is required to settle in other currencies, primarily the euro and U.S. dollar. The Company has used forward contracts in order to limit its exposure in these transactions to fluctuations in exchange rates between the South African rand (“ZAR”), on the one hand, and the U.S. dollar and the euro, on the other hand.

Risk management (continued)

Translation risk

Translation risk relates to the risk that the Company’s results of operations will vary significantly as the U.S. dollar is its reporting currency, but it earns a significant amount of its revenues and incurs a significant amount of its expenses in ZAR. The U.S. dollar has fluctuated significantly against the ZAR over the past three years. As exchange rates are outside the Company’s control, there can be no assurance that future fluctuations will not adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Interest rate risk

As a result of its normal borrowing and lending activities, the Company’s operating results are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, which it manages primarily through regular financing activities. The Company generally maintains investments in cash equivalents and held to maturity investments and has occasionally invested in marketable securities.

Credit risk

Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that the Company would incur as a result of non-performance by counterparties. The Company maintains credit risk policies with regard to its counterparties to minimize overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of a potential counterparty’s financial condition, credit rating, and other credit criteria and risk mitigation tools as the Company’s management deems appropriate. With respect to credit risk on financial instruments, the Company maintains a policy of entering into such transactions only with South African and European financial institutions that have a credit rating of “B” (or its equivalent) or better, as determined by credit rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings.

Microlending credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk in its microlending activities, which provide unsecured short-term loans to qualifying customers. The Company manages this risk by performing an affordability test for each prospective customer and assigning a “creditworthiness score”, which takes into account a variety of factors such as other debts and total expenditures on normal household and lifestyle expenses.

Equity price and liquidity risk

Equity price risk relates to the risk of loss that the Company would incur as a result of the volatility in the exchange-traded price of equity securities that it holds and the risk that it may not be able to liquidate these securities. The market price of these securities may fluctuate for a variety of reasons and, consequently, the amount that the Company may obtain in a subsequent sale of these securities may significantly differ from the reported market value.

Equity liquidity risk relates to the risk of loss that the Company would incur as a result of the lack of liquidity on the exchange on which these securities are listed. The Company may not be able to sell some or all of these securities at one time, or over an extended period of time without influencing the exchange traded price, or at all.

Financial instruments

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure its significant financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

In general, and where applicable, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine fair value. This pricing methodology would apply to Level 1 investments. If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available to determine fair value, then the Company uses quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs other than the quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. These investments would be included in Level 2 investments. In circumstances in which inputs are generally unobservable, values typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. Investments valued using such techniques are included in Level 3 investments.

Asset measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs – investment in Cell C

The Company’s Level 3 asset represents an investment of 75,000,000 class “A” shares in Cell C, a significant mobile telecoms provider in South Africa. The Company used a discounted cash flow model developed by the Company to determine the fair value of its investment in Cell C as of September 30, 2020, and June 30, 2020, and valued Cell C at $0.0 (zero) at September 30, 2020, and June 30, 2020. The Company believes the Cell C business plan utilized in the Company’s valuation is reasonable based on the current performance and the expected changes in Cell C’s business model. The Company utilized the latest approved business plan provided by Cell C management for the period ending December 31, 2024, and the following key valuation inputs were used as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020:

| Weighted Average Cost of Capital ("WACC"): | Between 16% and 21% over the period of the forecast
| Long term growth rate: | 3 % (3% as of June 30, 2020)
| Marketability discount: | 10%
| Minority discount: | 15%
| Net adjusted external debt - September 30, 2020:(1) | ZAR 15.1 billion ($0.9 billion), includes R 4.2 billion of lease liabilities
| Net adjusted external debt - June 30, 2020:(2) | ZAR 15.8 billion ($0.9 billion), includes R 4.4 billion of lease liabilities
| Deferred tax (incl, assessed tax losses) - September 30, 2020:(1) | ZAR 2.9 billion ($172.3 million)
| Deferred tax (incl, assessed tax losses) - June 30, 2020:(2) | ZAR 2.9 billion ($167.3 million)

(1) translated from ZAR to U.S. dollars at exchange rates applicable as of September 30, 2020.

(2) translated from ZAR to U.S. dollars at exchange rates applicable as of June 30, 2020.

The following table presents the impact on the carrying value of the Company’s Cell C investment of a 2.0% increase and 2.0% decrease in the WACC rate and the EBITDA margins used in the Cell C valuation on September 30, 2020, all amounts translated at exchange rates applicable as of September 30, 2020:

| Sensitivity for fair value of Cell C investment |  | 2.0% increase(A) |  | 2.0% decrease(A) |
| WACC rate | $ | - | $ | 6,786 |
| EBITDA margin | $ | 2,881 | $ | - |

(A) the carrying value of the Cell C investment is not impacted by a 1.0% increase or a 1.0% decrease and therefore the impact of a 2.0% increase and a 2.0% decrease is presented.

The fair value of the Cell C shares as of September 30, 2020, represented approximately 0% of the Company’s total assets, including these shares. The Company expects to hold these shares for an extended period of time and that there will be short-term equity price volatility with respect to these shares particularly given the current situation of Cell C’s business.

Derivative transactions - Foreign exchange contracts

As part of the Company’s risk management strategy, the Company enters into derivative transactions to mitigate exposures to foreign currencies using foreign exchange contracts. These foreign exchange contracts are over-the-counter derivative transactions. All of the Company’s derivative exposures are with counterparties that have long-term credit ratings of “B” (or equivalent) or better. The Company uses quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities to determine fair value (Level 2). The Company has no derivatives that are measured under Level 1 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts as of September 30, 2020, or June 30, 2020.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

The Company measures equity investments without readily determinable fair values at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections. An impairment charge is recorded when the cost of the asset exceeds its fair value and the excess is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company has not recorded any impairment charges during the reporting periods presented herein. The Company has no liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Finbond

As of September 30, 2020, the Company owned 268,820,933 shares in Finbond representing approximately 31% of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Finbond is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”) and its closing price on September 30, 2020, the last trading day of the month, was ZAR 1.04 per share. The market value, using the September 30, 2020, closing price, of the Company’s holding in Finbond on September 30, 2020, was ZAR 279.6 million ($16.6 million translated at exchange rates applicable as of September 30, 2020).

Finbond recently published its half-year results to August 2020, which included the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its reported results during the reporting period. Finbond incurred losses during the six months to August 2020, and experienced a slow-down in its lending activities. Finbond reported that its lending activities have increased again, albeit at a slower pace compared with the prior calendar period. Finbond’s share price declined substantially during the period from its fiscal year end (February 2020) to September 30, 2020, and the weakness in its traded share price continued post September 30, 2020. The Company considered the combination of the slow-down in business activity and the lower share price as impairment indicators. The Company performed an impairment assessment of its holding in Finbond as of September 30, 2020. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $16.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, related to the other-than-temporary decrease in Finbond’s value, which represented the difference between the determined fair value of the Company’s interest in Finbond and the Company’s carrying value (before the impairment). There is limited trading in Finbond shares on the JSE because it has three shareholders that own approximately 90% of its issued and outstanding shares between them. The Company calculated a fair value per share for Finbond by applying a liquidity discount of 15% to the September 30, 2020, Finbond closing price.

Stock-based compensation charge and unrecognized compensation cost

The Company recorded a stock-based compensation charge, net during each of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, of $0.4 million, respectively, which comprised:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Allocated to cost of goods sold, |  |  | Allocated to |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | IT processing, |  |  | selling, general |

|  |  |  | Total - three months ended September 30, 2019 |  | $ | 387 |  | $ | - |  | $ | 387 |

The stock-based compensation charges have been allocated to selling, general and administration based on the allocation of the cash compensation paid to the relevant employees.

As of September 30, 2020, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was approximately $0.9 million, which the Company expects to recognize over approximately three years. As of September 30, 2020, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards was approximately $0.9 million, which the Company expects to recognize over approximately three years.

As of September 30, 2020, and June 30, 2020, respectively, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $0.03 million and $0.4 million, related to the stock-based compensation charge recognized related to employees of Net1. As of September 30, 2020, and June 30, 2020, respectively, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $0.03 million and $0.4 million, related to the deferred tax asset because it does not believe that the stock-based compensation deduction would be utilized as it does not anticipate generating sufficient taxable income in the United States. The Company deducts the difference between the market value on the date of exercise by the option recipient and the exercise price from income subject to taxation in the United States.

13.(Loss) Earnings per share

The Company has issued redeemable common stock which is redeemable at an amount other than fair value. Redemption of a class of common stock at other than fair value increases or decreases the carrying amount of the redeemable common stock and is reflected in basic earnings per share using the two-class method. There were no redemptions of common stock, or adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Accordingly, the two-class method presented below does not include the impact of any redemption. The Company’s redeemable common stock is described in Note 15 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020.

Basic (loss) earnings per share includes shares of restricted stock that meet the definition of a participating security because these shares are eligible to receive non-forfeitable dividend equivalents at the same rate as common stock. Basic (loss) earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method and basic (loss) earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, reflects only undistributed earnings. The computation below of basic (loss) earnings per share excludes the net loss attributable to shares of unvested restricted stock (participating non-vested restricted stock) from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of these unvested shares of restricted stock from the denominator.

Diluted (loss) earnings per share has been calculated to give effect to the number of shares of additional common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive instruments had been issued in each period. Stock options are included in the calculation of diluted (loss) earnings per share utilizing the treasury stock method and are not considered to be participating securities, as the stock options do not contain non-forfeitable dividend rights.

23

13.(Loss) Earnings per share (continued)

The calculation of diluted (loss) earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of a portion of the restricted stock granted to employees in August 2017, March 2018, May 2018, September 2018 and February 2020, as these shares of restricted stock are considered contingently returnable shares for the purposes of the diluted (loss) earnings per share calculation and the vesting conditions in respect of a portion of the restricted stock had been satisfied. The vesting conditions for all awards made are discussed in Note 18 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020.

The following table presents net loss attributable to Net1 and the share data used in the basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share computations using the two-class method:

16.Leases

The Company has entered into leasing arrangements classified as operating leases under accounting guidance. These leasing arrangements relate primarily to the lease of its corporate head office, administration offices and branch locations through which the Company operates its financial services business in South Africa. The Company’s operating leases have remaining lease terms of between one and five years. The Company also operates parts of its financial services business from locations which it leases for a period of less than one year. The Company’s operating lease expense during each of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.9 million, respectively. The Company does not have any significant leases that have not commenced as of September 30, 2020.

The Company has also entered into short-term leasing arrangements, primarily for the lease of branch locations and other locations to operate its financial services business in South Africa. The Company’s short-term lease expense during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, was $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

17.Operating segments

Change to internal reporting structure and restatement of previously reported information

During September 2020, the Company’s chief operating decision maker changed the Company’s operating and internal reporting structures following the Company’s decisions to focus primarily on the South African market and to exit its operating activities performed through IPG. The chief operating decision maker has decided to analyze the Company’s operating performance primarily based on reported information for statutory entity, statutory groups, clustered statutory entities or clustered statutory groups, with certain reallocations, based on the activity of the reporting unit. Previously reported information has been restated.

Reallocation of certain activities among operating segments

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company reorganized its operating segments by combining what were previously the South African transaction processing segment and the International transaction processing segment into what is now the Processing segment and bifurcating what was previously the Financial inclusion and applied technologies segment into what are now the Financial services segment and the Technology segment. Segment results for the three months ended September 30, 2020 reflect these changes to the operating segments.

Operating segments

The Company discloses segment information as reflected in the management information systems reports that its chief operating decision maker uses in making decisions and to report certain entity-wide disclosures about products and services, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets or reports material revenues.

The Company currently has three reportable segments: Processing, Financial services and Technology. All three segments operate mainly within South Africa and certain of our activities outside of South Africa have been allocated to Processing. The Company’s reportable segments offer different products and services and require different resources and marketing strategies and share the Company’s assets.

The Processing segment includes fees earned by the Company from processing activities performed for its customers and revenue generated from the distribution of prepaid airtime. The Company provides its customers with transaction processing services that involve the collection, transmittal and retrieval of all transaction data. Customers that have a bank account managed by the Company are issued cards that can be utilized to withdraw funds at an ATM or to transact at a merchant point of sale device (“POS”). The Company earns processing fees from transactions processed for these customers. The Company also earns fees on transactions performed by other banks’ customers utilizing its ATM, POS or bill payment infrastructure. The Processing segment includes IPG’s processing activities.

The Financial services segment includes activities related to the provision of financial services to customers, including a bank account, loans and insurance products. The Company charges monthly administration fees for all bank accounts. The Company provides short-term loans to customers in South Africa for which it earns initiation and monthly service fees. The Company writes life insurance contracts, primarily funeral-benefit policies, and policy holders pay the Company a monthly insurance premium.

The Technology segment includes sale of hardware and licenses to customers. Hardware includes the sale of POS devices, SIM cards and other consumables which can occur on an ad hoc basis. Licenses include the right to use certain technology developed by the Company.

Corporate/Eliminations includes the Company’s head office cost center and the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.

The reconciliation of the reportable segment’s revenue to revenue from external customers for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, is as follows:

|  |  | Total for the three months ended September 30, 2019 | $ | 51,394 |  | $ | 3,456 |  | $ | 47,938

The Company does not allocate interest income, interest expense or income tax expense to its reportable segments. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment operating income before acquisition-related intangible asset amortization which represents operating income before acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and expenses allocated to Corporate/Eliminations, all under GAAP.

The reconciliation of the reportable segments measures of profit or loss to loss before income tax (benefit) expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, is as follows:

|  |  |  |  | Three months ended
|  |  |  |  | September 30,

The segment information as reviewed by the chief operating decision maker does not include a measure of segment assets per segment as all of the significant assets are used in the operations of all, rather than any one, of the segments. The Company does not have dedicated assets assigned to a particular operating segment. Accordingly, it is not meaningful to attempt an arbitrary allocation and segment asset allocation is therefore not presented.

18.Income tax

Income tax in interim periods

For the purposes of interim financial reporting, the Company determines the appropriate income tax provision by first applying the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year to ordinary income. This amount is then adjusted for the tax effect of significant unusual items, for instance, changes in tax law, valuation allowances and non-deductible transaction-related expenses that are reported separately, and have an impact on the tax charge. The cumulative effect of any change in the enacted tax rate, if and when applicable, on the opening balance of deferred tax assets and liabilities is also included in the tax charge as a discrete event in the interim period in which the enactment date occurs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s effective tax rate was impacted by the reversal of the deferred tax liability related to one of the Company’s equity-accounted investments following its impairment (refer to Note 5), which was partially offset by the tax expense recorded by the Company’s profitable South African operations, non-deductible expenses, the on-going losses incurred by IPG and certain of the Company’s South African businesses and the associated valuation allowances created related to the deferred tax assets recognized regarding net operating losses incurred by these entities.

30

18.Income tax (continued)

Income tax in interim periods (continued)

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s effective tax rate was impacted by the on-going losses incurred by IPG and certain of its South African businesses and the associated valuation allowances created related to the deferred tax assets recognized regarding net operating losses incurred by these businesses, non-deductible expenses, and tax expense recorded by the Company’s profitable businesses, primarily in South Africa.

Uncertain tax positions

The Company had no significant uncertain tax positions during the three months ended September 30, 2020, and therefore, the Company had no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions on its balance sheet.

The Company does not expect changes related to its unrecognized tax benefits will have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position in the next 12 months.

The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns mainly in South Africa, Germany, Hong Kong, India, the United Kingdom, Botswana and in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s South African subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax examination by the South African Revenue Service for periods before June 30, 2016. The Company is subject to income tax in other jurisdictions outside South Africa, none of which are individually material to its financial position, statement of cash flows, or results of operations.

19.Commitments and contingencies

Guarantees

The South African Revenue Service and certain of the Company’s customers, suppliers and other business partners have asked the Company to provide them with guarantees, including standby letters of credit, issued by a South African bank. The Company is required to procure these guarantees for these third parties to operate its business.

Nedbank has issued guarantees to these third parties amounting to ZAR 93.6 million ($5.6 million, translated at exchange rates applicable as of September 30, 2020) thereby utilizing part of the Company’s short-term facilities. The Company pays commission of between 0.4% per annum to 1.94% per annum of the face value of these guarantees and does not recover any of the commission from third parties.

The Company has not recognized any obligation related to these guarantees in its consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. The maximum potential amount that the Company could pay under these guarantees is ZAR 93.6 million ($5.6 million, translated at exchange rates applicable as of September 30, 2020). The guarantees have reduced the amount available for borrowings under the Company’s short-term credit facility described in Note 8.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to a variety of other insignificant claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management currently believes that the resolution of these other matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

20.Discontinued operations

Following the disposal of its controlling interest in Net1 Korea (in fiscal 2020) and DNI (in fiscal 2019), the Company determined that Net1 Korea and DNI should be classified as discontinued operations because the disposals of these businesses represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Refer to Note 3 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, for additional information regarding the deconsolidation of Net1 Korea and DNI.

21.Related party transactions

Disgorgement proceeds from VCP

In late September 2020, Value Capital Partners (Pty) Ltd (“VCP”), a significant shareholder, notified the Company that it would make payment to the Company related to the disgorgement of short-swing profits from the purchase of common stock by VCP pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Company’s insider trading policy. The Company recognizes these proceeds as a capital contribution from shareholders and recorded an increase of $0.1 million, net of taxes of $0.02 million, to additional paid-in capital in its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three months ended September 30, 2020. As the purchase transactions occurred in late September 2020, $0.02 million of the $0.12 million proceeds were received in early October 2020 and are included in accounts receivable, net and other receivables in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. The Company received $0.1 million of the $0.12 million gross proceeds in September 30, 2020, and recorded these amounts within cash flows from financing activities in its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flow for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company expects to pay the taxes due of $0.02 million in calendar 2021.

These vehicles largely comprise the fleet of customized mobile ATMs used to deliver a service to rural communities and were previously leased from CPS.

Additional capital raise by MobiKwik in November 2020

In early November 2020, MobiKwik entered into an agreement to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional shares to a new shareholder for a 1.6% interest in the company for approximately $5.6 million, implying a valuation of MobiKwik as of the closing date of approximately $375.0 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-looking statements

Some of the statements in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed, implied or inferred by these forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, those listed under Item 1A.—“Risk Factors” in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

Recent Developments

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic did not impact our South African operations as severely during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the last four months of the year ended June 30, 2020. Nevertheless, as at the date of this report, South Africa remains under various lockdown restrictions which continue to affect the broader economy and these affect us to the extent they affect economic activity levels in South Africa. South Africa was in lockdown Level 3 up until August 18, 2020, and in Level 2 up until September 20, 2020. At the date of this report, South Africa remains in Level 1 lockdown which is the lowest form of lockdown. Over the course of the pandemic to date it is estimated that 2.2 million jobs have been lost.

Business and operations

During the quarter our operations have largely operated as normal, with all practical restrictions having been lifted before the start of the quarter. Some movement restrictions were in place under Level 3 but these had a limited impact on the operations. Most of the impact of the pandemic on our operations would be as a result of the indirect effect of lower economic activity in the country’s economy.

Our loan business has been able to originate loans normally and we have not seen any deterioration in collection levels over the period. Our insurance business did see a higher level of benefit claims during the quarter, though some of this is normal seasonality, but we are unable to identify how much of this was caused by the pandemic.

We continue to incur direct expenditure on the purchase of sanitizers, masks and gloves for our employees and for the use of customers in our branches, but this is not significant in the context of our cost base.

Employees

Where possible, we have continued to provide the necessary facilities (computer equipment, data cards, etc.) for our employees to operate remotely and continue to encourage them to do so where this is practical and effective. We continue to provide the necessary protective equipment and sanitization facilities for those employees that operate within our offices and operating locations.

Cash resources and liquidity

We believe we have sufficient cash reserves to support us through the next twelve months. Together with our existing cash reserves, we also believe that our credit facilities are sufficient to fund our ATM network.

We do not believe there will be any further significant adverse effects on our liquidity from the pandemic, unless there is a resumption of the higher level of restrictions in South Africa in the event of an increase in the level of infections, as currently experienced in Europe and the United States following the second wave of the pandemic in those territories.

34

We believe that our South African insurance business is adequately capitalized and do not expect to have to provide additional funding to the business in the foreseeable future.

Financial position and impairments

Except for the impact on Finbond’s business, we do not believe that the pandemic has significantly impacted the carrying value of long-lived assets and equity method investments to date.

Control environment

We do not expect the pandemic to have a significant impact on our internal control environment.

While we have not incurred significant disruptions thus far from the COVID-19 outbreak, we are unable to accurately predict the impact that COVID-19 will have due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact on our customers and other factors identified in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors— The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our business. We are unable to ascertain the impact the pandemic will have on our future financial position, operations, cash flows and stock price” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact to our business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition.

Financial Services Activities in South Africa

We continue to focus on transitioning our South African financial inclusion activities towards a business-to-consumer, or B2C, model. We believe our EPE bank account, known in the communities it serves as ‘the green card’ has a strong brand position in our target market and attaches significant loyalty. We have been working on enhancing its presence through localized marketing which, when combined with some of the challenges of other service providers into this market, we expect to result in a return to growing customer numbers. While relatively small in number, we saw increased demand for the accounts in September and this has grown further in October. These customers, many of which are returning customers, will then have access to the suite of associated financial services products, which will lift activity levels across many of our operations.

Processing Activities in South Africa

Our processing activities in South Africa are focused around our ATM network, which largely services a consumer base, and our transaction processing for businesses, anchored around our EasyPay offering. As articulated in respect of our revised strategy, we aim to grow this business to business, or B2B, operation through the servicing of small and micro enterprises. We have seen encouraging increases in the utilization of our ATM infrastructure over the last quarter, while our B2B operations have also performed well. Planning around the expansion of the processing business into the small and micro enterprises space is underway.

International Activities

IPG – After pursuing opportunities to dispose of the IPG operations, the board subsequently decided to close down these operations. This process is well underway and should be largely complete, from a cost perspective, by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

Bank Frick – Bank Frick exceeded expectations and performed well during the quarter. While they have increased provisioning against some of their loan portfolio, the performance of the bank in other areas has been strong. Nevertheless, with Europe in the grip of a second wave of infections under the pandemic and some countries reintroducing restrictions, could have a negative impact on the bank’s results going forward.

Carbon – Carbon has started to see some normalization of their business as the effects of the pandemic and the associated restrictions in Nigeria have reduced. While revenue remains below the levels seen before the start of the pandemic, their proactive tightening of credit criteria and improvements in risk management have resulted in a marked reduction in provisioning requirements which is reducing their monthly losses more quickly than expected.

India –MobiKwik started to see a recovery in revenue during the quarter and is expecting to return to pre-pandemic levels of revenue by the end of the calendar year. They have managed costs effectively, holding cash EBITDA loss under $1.0 million for the quarter, but we believe that there should be a quick recovery as conditions normalize. In particular, there have been a number of industry and secular developments during the pandemic that we believe should be very positive for MobiKwik’s longer-term growth prospects.

Progress on corporate activities

Cell C – We continued to carry the value of our Cell C investment at $0 (zero) as of September 30, 2020. Cell C is focused on its recapitalization and its operational reorganization given its revised commercial model. While it remains in default on its various lending arrangements, Cell C and its lenders are working constructively and continue to make good progress towards a recapitalization intended to ensure its long-term sustainability and allow Cell C to focus on its core business.

Succession plan for CEO

Mr. Alex M.R. Smith assumed the role of interim CEO on October 1, 2020, following the departure of Mr. Herman G. Kotzé on September 30, 2020. Mr. Smith will serve in this role until our board of directors finalizes the appointment of a permanent CEO. In order to ensure a smooth transition, Mr. Kotzé agreed to provide consulting services to us through May 31, 2021.

Reallocation of certain activities among operating segments

Refer to Note 17 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for information regarding changes to the Company’s reportable segments during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, including the ongoing uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the outbreak of COVID-19. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the determination of estimates requires management’s judgment based on a variety of assumptions and other determinants such as historical experience, current and expected market conditions and certain scientific evaluation techniques.

Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments or uncertainties and may potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We have identified the following critical accounting policies that are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020:

 Valuation of investment in Cell C;

 Recoverability of equity-accounted investments and other equity securities;

 Business combinations and the recoverability of goodwill;

 Intangible assets acquired through acquisitions;

 Deferred taxation;

 Stock-based compensation;

 Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts receivable; and

 Revenue – variation in transaction price following September 2019 Supreme Court ruling.

Recent accounting pronouncements adopted

We did not adopt any new accounting pronouncement during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of September 30, 2020

Refer to Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of September 30, 2020, including the expected dates of adoption and effects on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Currency Exchange Rate Information

Actual exchange rates

The actual exchange rates for and at the end of the periods presented were as follows:

Table 1 | Three months ended |  | Year ended
| September 30, |  | June 30,
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2020
ZAR : $ average exchange rate | 16.9080 |  | 14.6924 |  | 15.6775

Rate at end of period | 16.8344 |  | 15.1619 |  | 17.3326

Translation exchange rates for financial reporting purposes

We are required to translate our results of operations from ZAR to U.S. dollars on a monthly basis. Thus, the average rates used to translate this data for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, vary slightly from the averages shown in the table above. The translation rates we use in presenting our results of operations are the rates shown in the following table:

Results of Operations

The discussion of our consolidated overall results of operations is based on amounts as reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We analyze our results of operations both in U.S. dollars, as presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and supplementally in ZAR, because ZAR is the functional currency of the entities which contribute the majority of our revenue and is the currency in which the majority of our transactions are initially incurred and measured. Due to the significant impact of currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the ZAR on our reported results and because we use the U.S. dollar as our reporting currency, we believe that the supplemental presentation of our results of operations in ZAR is useful to investors to understand the changes in the underlying trends of our business.

Our operating segment revenue presented in “—Results of operations by operating segment” represents total revenue per operating segment before intercompany eliminations. A reconciliation between total operating segment revenue and revenue presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is included in Note 17 to those statements.

We disposed of our Korean operation in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and it has been presented as a discontinued operation for fiscal 2021 and 2020. We disposed of FIHRST during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, and deconsolidated CPS in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, and therefore their contributions to our reported results are not included in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

We analyze our business and operations in terms of three inter-related but independent operating segments: (1) Processing, (2) Financial services and (3) Technology. In addition, corporate and corporate office activities that are impracticable to ascribe directly to any of the other operating segments, as well as any inter-segment eliminations, are included in Corporate/Eliminations.

First quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to first quarter of fiscal 2020

The following factors had a significant impact on our results of operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared with the same period in the prior year:

 Lower revenue: Our revenues decreased 12% in ZAR primarily due to fewer prepaid airtime sales and lower account fee revenue, which was partially offset by higher transaction fees;

 Ongoing operating losses: Operating costs are largely in line with the prior period in ZAR due to the largely fixed cost nature of the costs base. As a result, we continue to experience operating losses as a result of depressed revenues; and

 Adverse foreign exchange movements: The U.S. dollar was 14% stronger against the ZAR during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, which adversely impacted our reported results.

Consolidated overall results of operations

This discussion is based on the amounts prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following tables show the changes in the items comprising our statements of operations, both in U.S. dollars and in ZAR:

The decrease in revenue was primarily due to fewer prepaid airtime sales and lower account fee revenue, which was partially offset by higher transaction fees.

The decrease in cost of goods sold, IT processing, servicing and support was primarily due to lower cost of prepaid airtime sales, which was partially offset by higher costs related to transaction fees.

In ZAR, the increase in selling, general and administration expense was primarily due to the year-over-year impact of inflationary increases on employee-related expenses.

Depreciation and amortization decreased primarily due to lower overall depreciation related to tangible assets that were fully depreciated during the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Our operating loss margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 was (29.0%) and (13.4%), respectively. We discuss the components of operating income margin under “—Results of operations by operating segment.”

There was no change in the fair value of equity securities during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020. We continue to carry our investment in Cell C at $0 (zero). Refer to Note 4 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the methodology and inputs used in the fair value calculation.

Interest on surplus cash increased to $0.6 million (ZAR 10.2 million) from $0.4 million (ZAR 5.4 million), due primarily to the higher average daily cash balances following the increase in our cash reserves as a result of the disposal of certain business in fiscal 2020.

Interest expense decreased to $0.7 million (ZAR 12.5 million) from $1.3 million (ZAR 19.9 million), primarily as a result of a reduction in the South African interest rates and lower interest expense as a result of lower utilization of our ATM facilities because we used our cash reserves to fund our ATMs.

Fiscal 2021 tax benefit was $(1.1) million (ZAR (18.3) million) compared to an income tax expense of $1.0 million (ZAR 14.3 million) in fiscal 2020. Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2021 was impacted by the reversal of the deferred tax liability related to one of our equity-accounted investments following its impairment, which was partially offset by the tax charge related to our profitable South African operations, non-deductible expenses, the on-going losses incurred by certain of our South African businesses and the associated valuation allowances created related to the deferred tax assets recognized regarding net operating losses incurred by these entities.

Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2020, was impacted by the on-going losses incurred by certain of our South African businesses and the associated valuation allowances created related to the deferred tax assets recognized regarding net operating losses incurred by these South African businesses and non-deductible expenses. The charge represents the tax expense recorded by our profitable businesses in South Africa.

Processing

Excluding IPG, segment revenue decreased primarily due to fewer prepaid airtime sales, which was partially offset by higher volume-driven transaction fees. Excluding IPG, Processing operating loss has been impacted lower revenue and by an increase in transaction-based costs. IPG incurred an operating loss but is in the process of being closed down.

Our operating loss margin (calculated as operating (loss) income divided by revenue) for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 was (29.8%) and (18.3%), respectively. Excluding IPG, our operating loss margin for the Processing segment was (19.5%) and (12.1%) during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Financial services

Segment revenue decreased due to lower account fee revenue whilst lending and insurance revenues were relatively flat compared to the prior period. The segment incurred an operating loss compared with fiscal 2020 primarily due to the reduction in account fee revenue as well as higher employee-related costs and an increase in insurance claims experience.

Our operating (loss) income margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 was (28.7%) and 2.4%, respectively.

Technology

Segment revenue was modestly lower than fiscal 2020. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 improved compared with fiscal 2020 due to improved margins on the sale of hardware.

Our operating income margin for the Technology segment was 28.6% and 15.9% during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Corporate/Eliminations

Our corporate expenses generally include acquisition-related intangible asset amortization; expenses incurred related to corporate actions; expenditure related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; non-employee directors’ fees; employee and executive bonuses; stock-based compensation; legal fees; audit fees; directors and officer’s insurance premiums; telecommunications expenses; and elimination entries.

Our corporate expenses increased primarily due to foreign exchange losses incurred and higher legal fees, which were partially offset by lower audit and consulting fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were $209.2 million and comprised of U.S. dollar-denominated balances of $174.0 million, ZAR-denominated balances of ZAR 547.2 million ($32.5 million), and other currency deposits, primarily Botswana pula, of $2.7 million, all amounts translated at exchange rates applicable as of September 30, 2020. The decrease in our unrestricted cash balances from June 30, 2020, was primarily due to the payment of Federal income taxes, weak trading activities and an increase in our lending book, which was partially offset by the receipt of the outstanding proceeds related to the sale of our Korean business.

We generally invest any surplus cash held by our South African operations in overnight call accounts that we maintain at South African banking institutions, and any surplus cash held by our non-South African companies in U.S. dollar denominated money market accounts.

Historically, we have financed most of our operations, research and development, working capital, and capital expenditures, as well as acquisitions and strategic investments, through internally generated cash and our financing facilities. When considering whether to borrow under our financing facilities, we consider the cost of capital, cost of financing, opportunity cost of utilizing surplus cash and availability of tax efficient structures to moderate financing costs.

Available short-term borrowings

Summarized below are our short-term facilities available and utilized as of September 30, 2020:

(1) Overdraft may only be used to fund mobile ATMs and upon utilization is considered restricted cash.

(2) Indirect and derivative facilities may only be used for guarantees, letters of credit and forward exchange contracts to support guarantees issued by Nedbank to various third parties on our behalf.

Restricted cash

We have credit facilities with RMB and Nedbank in order to access cash to fund our ATMs in South Africa. Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as of September 30, 2020, includes restricted cash of approximately $6.7 million related to cash withdrawn from our various debt facilities to fund ATMs. This cash may only be used to fund ATMs and is considered restricted as to use and therefore is classified as restricted cash on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Cash flows from operating activities

First quarter

Net cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $29.9 million (ZAR 501.2 million) compared to $18.3 million (ZAR 270.4 million) during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of income taxes, our cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was impacted by the cash losses incurred by the majority of our continuing operations and the growth in our lending book. Our net cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 includes the contribution from our Korean operations.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we paid South African tax of $0.2 million (ZAR 3.4 million) related to our 2020 tax year. We also paid taxes totaling $15.2 million in other tax jurisdictions, primarily in the U.S. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we paid South African tax of $0.8 million (ZAR 11.6 million) related to our 2019 tax year. We also paid taxes totaling $1.1 million in other tax jurisdictions, primarily South Korea.

Taxes paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Total tax paid | 15,406 |  | 1,883 |  | 257,668 |  | 27,135

Cash flows from investing activities

First quarter

Cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 included capital expenditures of $0.3 million (ZAR 4.6 million), primarily due to the acquisition of computer equipment and leasehold improvements in South Africa. We received $20.1 million related to the sale of our Korean business in March 2020 following the successful refund application of the amounts withheld and paid to the South Korean tax authorities pursuant to that transaction. We also received the first of the eighteen scheduled repayments due on the deferred sale proceeds related to the April 2020 sale of DNI.

Cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 included capital expenditures of $2.6 million (ZAR 38.7 million), primarily due to the acquisition of ATMs in South Africa. We also made a further equity contribution of $1.3 million to V2 and received $4.3 million from DNI related to the settlement of a ZAR 60.0 million loan outstanding.

Cash flows from financing activities

First quarter

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we utilized approximately $69.1 million from our South African overdraft facilities to fund our ATMs, and repaid $76.9 million of these facilities.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we utilized approximately $182.5 million from our South African overdraft facilities, primarily to fund our ATMs, and repaid $180.8 million of these facilities. We utilized approximately $14.8 million of our borrowings to fund the purchase of Cell C prepaid airtime that is subject to sale restrictions. We also repaid $4.0 million of our Bank Frick overdraft and utilized $1.2 million of this overdraft to fund our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Capital Expenditures

We expect capital spending for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 be higher due to the purchase of vehicles from CPS on October 15, 2020. These vehicles largely comprise the fleet of customized mobile ATMs used to deliver a service to rural communities and were previously leased from CPS. The balance of capital spending will be primarily to maintain our capital equipment.

Our capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 are discussed under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Cash flows from investing activities.” All of our capital expenditures for the past three fiscal years were funded through internally generated funds. We had outstanding capital commitments as of September 30, 2020, of $0.2 million. We expect to fund these expenditures through internally generated funds and available facilities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In addition to the tables below, see Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of market risk.

We have short-term borrowings which attract interest at rates that fluctuate based on changes in the South African prime interest rate. The following table illustrates the effect on our annual expected interest charge, translated at exchange rates applicable as of September 30, 2020, as a result of changes in the South African prime interest rate, assuming hypothetical short-term borrowings of ZAR 1.0 billion as of September 30, 2020. The effect of a hypothetical 1% (i.e. 100 basis points) increase and a 1% decrease in the South African prime interest rate as of September 30, 2020, are shown. The selected 1% hypothetical change does not reflect what could be considered the best or worst case scenarios.

Table 12 | As of September 30, 2020
| Annual expected interest charge ($ ’000) |  | Hypothetical change in interest rates |  | Estimated annual expected interest charge after hypothetical change in interest rates ($ ’000)
Interest on South Africa overdraft (South African prime interest rate) | 4,158 |  | 1% |  | 4,752

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2020. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, and in light of the insufficient time to assess the effectiveness of the procedures we have adopted to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, our interim chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We continue to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the material weakness described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, and we have and will continue to perform additional procedures, including the use of manual mitigating control procedures and employing any additional tools and resources deemed necessary, to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

CPS placed into business rescue and SASSA application to place CPS into liquidation

On June 18, 2020, SASSA launched an urgent application with the High Court of South Africa, Gauteng Division, Pretoria, or High Court, to place CPS into liquidation and declare the business rescue process invalid. The matter was heard on October 16, 2020, and the High Court ordered that CPS be placed into liquidation. We do not intend to appeal the order of the High Court.
