Trade receivables include amounts

due from customers

which generally have

a very short-term

life from

date of invoice

or service

provided to settlement. The duration

is less than a year in all cases and

generally less than 30 days in many

instances. The short-term

nature

of

these

exposures

often

results

in

balances

at

month-end

that

are

disproportionately

small

to

the

total

invoiced

amounts.

The

month-end

balance

are

more

volatile

than

the

monthly

invoice

amounts

because

they

are

affected

by

operational timing issues and

the fact that a balance

is outstanding at month-end is

not necessarily an indication of

increased risk but

rather a matter of operational timing.

Credit risk in respect of trade receivables are generally not

significant and the Company has not developed a sophisticated model

for these basic

credit exposures. The

Company determined to

use a lifetime

loss rate by

expressing write-off experience as

a percentage

of corresponding

invoice amounts

(as opposed

to outstanding

balances). The

allowance for credit

losses related to

these receivables

has

been

by

multiplying

the

lifetime

loss

rate

with

recent

invoice/origination

amounts.

Management

actively

monitors

performance of these receivables over

short periods of time. Different

balances have different rules to

identify an account in distress.

Once balances

in distress are

identified, specific

allowances are immediately

created. Subsequent

recovery from distressed

is not significant.

Risk management

The Company manages its exposure

to currency exchange, translation, interest rate,

credit, microlending credit and equity price

and liquidity risks as discussed below.

Currency exchange risk

The

Company

is

subject

to

risk

because

it

purchases

components

for

its

safe

assets,

that

the

Company

assembles, and inventories that it is required to settle in other currencies, primarily the euro, renminbi, and U.S. dollar.

used forward

in order

to limit

its exposure

in these

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.

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 to

the ZAR

exchange rate

has fluctuated

significantly over

the past

three years.

As exchange

rates are

outside the

control,

there can be no

assurance that future fluctuations will

not adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and

financial condition.

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

Risk management (continued)

Interest rate risk

As a result of its

normal borrowing activities, the Company’s operating results are exposed to fluctuations in

interest rates, which

it

manages

through

regular

activities.

South

Therefore, ignoring

Company

to

this risk.

maintains

surplus

cash

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

in

respect

of

its

counterparties

to

minimize

overall

credit

risk.

These

include

an

evaluation

of

a

potential

counterparty’s

condition,

credit

rating,

and

other

credit

criteria

and

risk

mitigation

tools

as

the

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.

Consumer microlending credit

is exposed

to credit

qualifying customers.

Credit bureau

checks as

well as

an affordability

test are

conducted as

part of

the origination

process, both

of

which are in line with local regulations. The Company considers this

policy to be appropriate because the affordability test it

performs

takes into account

a variety of

factors such

as other debts

and total expenditures

on normal household

and lifestyle expenses.

allowances

may

be required

should the

ability of

its customers

to make

payments when

due

deteriorate

in the

future. Judgment

is

required to assess

the ultimate recoverability

of these finance

loan receivables, including

ongoing evaluation

of the creditworthiness

of each customer.

Merchant lending

The Company maintains an allowance for

doubtful finance loans receivable related to

its Merchant services segment with

respect

to short-term loans to qualifying merchant customers. The

Company’s risk management procedures include adhering to its proprietary

lending criteria which uses

an online-system loan application

process, obtaining necessary customer transaction-history

data and credit

bureau checks.

The Company considers

these procedures

to be appropriate

because it takes

into account

a variety of

factors such

as

the customer’s credit capacity and customer-specific

risk factors when originating a loan.

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.

The market

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

on

which

those

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.

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

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

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

fair value,

then the

Company uses

quoted

prices for

similar assets

and

liabilities or

inputs

other

than

the

quoted

prices

that

are

observable

either

or

indirectly. These

investments

would

be included

in

Level

investments. In

circumstances

in

which

inputs

are

unobservable,

values

typically

reflect

management’s

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.

The Company has agreements with reinsurance companies in order to limit its losses from various insurance contracts, however,

if the reinsurer is unable

to meet its obligations, the

Company retains the liability.

The value of insurance

contract liabilities is based

on the best estimate assumptions of future experience plus prescribed

margins, as required in the markets in which these

products are

offered,

namely South

Africa. The

process of

deriving the

best estimate

assumptions plus

includes assumptions

related to claim reporting delays (based on average industry experience).

its borrowings.

Reference rate reform

After the

transition

away from

certain

interbank

offered

rates in

foreign

jurisdictions

(“IBOR reform

”), the

reforms to

South

Africa’s

reference interest

rate are now

accelerating rapidly.

The Johannesburg

Interbank Average

Rate (“JIBAR”)

will be replaced

by the new South African Overnight Index Average (“ZARONIA”). Certain of the Company’s

borrowings reference JIBAR as a base

interest rate. ZARONIA

reflects the

interest rate at

which rand-denominated

overnight wholesale

funds are

obtained by commercial

banks. There

is uncertainty

surrounding the

timing and

manner in

transition would

occur and

how this

would affect

our

borrowings. The

Company is engag

ing with its

borrowers to

negotiate changes

to its existing

borrowing agreements

or to introduce

language to cater for the transition to ZARONIA in its future borrowing agreements.

The Company is currently renegotiating its borrowing facilities and expects the process to be concluded before

March 31, 2025.

and

100,000

stock to employees

which have time -based vesting conditions and which are subject to the employees continued employment with the Company through

the applicable vesting dates.

In

the

Company

awarded

group

comprising

three

executive officers and which

are subject to a time-based

vesting condition and a market

condition and vest in full only

on the date, if

any,

that the following

conditions are

satisfied: (1) a

compounded annual

% appreciation in

stock price off

a base

price of $

5.00

over the measurement period commencing on September 30, 2024 through September 30, 2027, and (2) the recipient is

employed by the Company on a full-time basis through to September 30, 2027. If either of these conditions is not satisfied,

then none

of the shares of restricted stock will vest and they will be forfeited. The Company’s

closing price on September 30, 2024, was $

The appreciation levels (times and price) and

annual target percentages to earn the

awards as of each period

ended are as follows:

scenarios where

the shares

do not vest, the final vested value at maturity is zero. In scenarios where vesting occurs, the final vested value on maturity is the share

price on

vesting date.

In its calculation

of the

used an

equally weighted

volatility of

% for

the closing

price (of

indexed swap

rates for

Operating segments

Operating segments

The Company discloses segment information as reflected in the management

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.

cast of previously reported information

chief operating

decision maker

is the

Executive Chairman.

He changed

and internal reporting

structures to present

a new segment,

Enterprise, separately.

The chief operating

decision maker has

decided to

analyze the Company’s

operating performance primarily based on three operational lines, namely,

(i) Merchant, which focuses on

both formal and informal sector

merchants.

Formal sector merchants are generally

in urban areas,

have higher

revenues and

have access

to multiple

service providers.

Informal sector

merchants, which

are often

sole proprietors

and

usually

have lower

revenues compared

with formal

section merchants,

operate in

rural areas

or in

informal urban

areas and

do not

always have access to a full-suite of traditional banking products;

(ii) Consumer,

which primarily

focuses on

individuals who

have historically

been excluded

from traditional

financial services

and to whom we offer transactional accounts (banking), insurance, lending (short-term

loans), payments solutions (digital wallet) and

various value-added services;

and

(iii) Enterprise, which comprises large-scale corporate and government organizations, including but not limited to banks, mobile

network operators (“MNOs”) and municipalities.

The segment

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.

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

expected to

be applicable

for the

full fiscal

year to

ordinary income.

This amount

is then

adjusted for

the tax

effect

of

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

and

six

months

ended

31,

2024,

the

tax

rate

was

impacted

by

the

tax expense

recorded by the

Company’s profitable South African operations,

non-deductible expenses (including transaction-related expenditures),

by certain of

businesses and the

associated valuation

allowances created

related to the deferred tax assets recognized regarding net operating losses incurred

by these entities.

For

the

three

and

six

months

ended

31,

2023,

the

tax

rate

was

impacted

by

the

tax expense

recorded by the Company’s

profitable South African operations,

non-deductible expenses, the

on-going losses incurred

by certain of

the Company’s South African businesses and the associated valuation allowances created related to the deferred tax assets recognized

Uncertain tax positions

As of three months ended December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company had

no

unrecognized tax benefits. The Company

files income

tax returns

mainly in

Botswana, Namibia

and in

the U.S.

federal jurisdiction.

As of

2024,

the Company’s South African subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax examination by the South African Revenue Service

for

periods before

  1. The

Company is

subject to

income tax

in other

jurisdictions outside

none of

which are

individually material to its financial position, statement of cash flows, or results of operations.

Commitments and contingencies

Guarantees

The South African

Revenue Service and

certain of the

Company’s customers,

suppliers and other

business partners have

asked

to provide

them with

guarantees, including

standby letters

of credit,

issued by

banks. The

Company is

required to procure these guarantees for these third parties to operate

its business.

RMB has

issued

guarantees

to

these

third

parties

amounting

to

ZAR

33.1

million

($

1.8

at

rates

applicable as of December 31, 2024) thereby utilizing part of the Company’s

short-term facilities. The Company pays commission of

between

3.42

% per annum to

3.44

% per annum of the face

value of these guarantees and does

not recover any of the commission

from

third parties.

Nedbank has

issued guarantees

to these

third parties

amounting to

ZAR

2.1

0.1

rates

applicable as of December 31, 2024) thereby utilizing part of the Company’s

short-term facilities. The Company pays commission of

between

0.47

% per annum to

1.84

% 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 December 31,

  1. The maximum

potential amount that

the Company could

pay under these

guarantees is ZAR

35.2

2.1

rates applicable

as of

2024). As

discussed in

Note 9,

has ceded

and pledged

certain bank

accounts to Nedbank as

security for the guarantees

issued by them

with an aggregate value

of ZAR

2.1

0.1

at

rates

applicable

as

of

31,

2024).

The

guarantees

have

reduced

the

amount

under

its indirect

and

derivative facilities in the Company’s

short-term credit facilities described in Note 9.

Contingencies

The

Company

is

subject

to

a

variety

of

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.

Subsequent events
