Description Of Business And Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]  
Description of Business
Description of Business
 
Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (“Net1” and
 
collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in
the
 
State
 
of
 
Florida
 
on
 
May 8,
 
1997.
 
The
 
Company
 
is a
 
provider
 
of financial
 
technology,
 
or fintech,
 
products
 
and
 
services to
 
the
unbanked and
 
underbanked primarily
 
in South
 
Africa and
 
neighboring
 
countries. Its
 
universal electronic
 
payment system
 
(“UEPS”)
uses biometrically
 
secure smart
 
cards that
 
operate in
 
real-time but
 
offline, which
 
allows users
 
to enter
 
into transactions
 
at any
 
time
with
 
other
 
card
 
holders
 
in
 
even
 
the
 
most
 
remote
 
areas.
 
The
 
Company
 
also
 
develops
 
and
 
provides
 
secure
 
transaction
 
technology
solutions and services,
 
and offers transaction
 
processing and financial
 
solutions. The Company’s
 
technology is widely used
 
in South
Africa today,
 
where it provides financial services (banking, lending and insurance
 
products), processes debit and credit card payment
transactions on behalf
 
of retailers through
 
its EasyPay system
 
and processes value-added
 
services such as
 
bill payments and
 
prepaid
electricity for the major bill issuers and local councils in South Africa.
Basis Of presentation
Basis of presentation
 
The
 
accompanying
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
include
 
subsidiaries
 
over
 
which
 
Net1
 
exercises
 
control
 
and
 
have
 
been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
 
in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Impact Of COVID-19 On The Company's Business
Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s
 
business
 
 
The Company’s business has been, and continues to be, impacted by government restrictions and quarantines
 
related to COVID-
19. South Africa operates with a five-level COVID-19 alert system, with
 
Level 1 being the least restrictive and Level 5
 
being the most
restrictive. South Africa is
 
currently at adjusted Level
 
3, which has a limited impact
 
on the Company’s
 
businesses. The South Africa
government commenced
 
its vaccination program
 
in early calendar
 
2021, with a
 
stated goal of
 
vaccinating 67% of
 
the South African
population by the end of the calendar year.
 
 
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.
Restatement Of Financial Statements
Restatement of financial statements
Related to overstatement of revenue and cost of goods
 
sold, IT processing, servicing and support
 
 
In November 2020, the Company
 
identified an error with respect to the
 
recognition of certain revenue and related
 
cost of goods
sold, IT processing, servicing and support during its assessment and systems development of new products. The Company incorrectly
duplicated the recognition of acquiring fees in revenue and recorded
 
an equal and opposite entry in cost of goods sold, IT processing,
servicing and support
 
in its consolidated statement
 
of operations due
 
to the misinterpretation
 
of certain system reports.
 
The error did
not impact on the
 
Company’s operating
 
loss, net loss, balance
 
sheet or cash flows.
 
The Company determined
 
that the error impacted
reported results
 
for the
 
period from
 
July 1,
 
2018 to
 
September 30,
 
2020. The
 
error impacts
 
the Company’s
 
reported results
 
and the
Company has
 
restated its consolidated
 
statement of
 
operations and certain
 
note presentation, primarily
 
Note 15 (Revenue)
 
and Note
20 (Operating segments) for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,
 
to correct for the error.
