In discharging this responsibility, they rely on the management of the group to prepare the annual financial statements presented on pages 3 to 150 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the South African Companies Act No 61 of 1973. As such, the annual financial statements include amounts based on judgements and estimates made by management. The information given is comprehensive and presented in a responsible manner. The directors accept responsibility for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of the annual financial statements and are satisfied that the systems and internal financial controls implemented by management are effective. The directors believe that the company and group have adequate resources to continue operations as a going concern in the foreseeable future, based on forecasts and available cash resources. The financial statements support the viability of the company and the group. The independent auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., which was given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of shareholders, the board of directors and committees of the board, has audited the annual financial statements. The directors believe that all representations made to the independent auditors during their audit were valid and appropriate. PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc.’s audit report is presented on page 2. The annual financial statements were approved by the board of directors on 24 June 2011 and are signed on its behalf by: T Vosloo Chairman J P Bekker Chief executive Certificate by the company secretary I, Gillian Kisbey-Green, being the company secretary of Naspers Limited, certify that the company has, for the year under review, lodged all returns required of a public company with the Registrar of Companies, and that all such returns are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, correct and up to date. G Kisbey-Green Company secretary 24 June 2011 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 1 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Independent auditor’s report to the members of Naspers Limited We have audited the group annual financial statements and annual financial statements of Naspers Limited, which comprise the consolidated and separate statements of financial position as at 31 March 2011, and the consolidated income statement and consolidated and separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, and the directors’ report, as set out on pages 5 to 150. DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in the manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the 2 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the 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 financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. OPINION In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and separate financial position of Naspers Limited as at 31 March 2011, 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 in the manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa.

NATURE OF BUSINESS Naspers Limited was incorporated in 1915 under the laws of the Republic of South Africa. The principal activities of Naspers and its operating subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies (collectively “the group”) are the operation of pay television and the provision of related technologies, the operation of internet and instant messaging subscriber platforms, e-commerce platforms and the publishing, distribution and printing of magazines, newspapers and books. These activities are conducted primarily in South Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, China, Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, India and Latin America. OPERATING REVIEW The group achieved a solid performance over the past year. Consolidated revenues grew by 18%. These results were underpinned by a diversified portfolio and a strong balance sheet. Major areas of growth were the internet and pay-television businesses. Worldwide the internet industry continued its expansion from which most of our internet businesses benefited. The resilience of our pay-television operations in an increasingly competitive environment underscores the benefit of quality content, although rising costs place margins under pressure. Our print media business experienced a limited recovery in advertising Although nuances shift gradually, the growth strategy continues to have three legs: organic growth of existing businesses, pursuing acquisitions and developing new technologies. Recent experience is that internet valuations, in our opinion, have become inflated and good value is difficult to find these days. As a consequence, we are focusing somewhat more on growing our businesses organically and on developing new technologies. This may dampen earnings in the year ahead as the cost of developing these businesses are expensed through the income statement. However, we believe this strategy is sound and will stimulate long-term growth prospects. SEGMENTAL REVIEW This segmental review includes our consolidated subsidiaries, plus the proportional consolidation of associated companies. Refer to note 37 for our segmental reporting. Internet Overall the internet segment reported revenue growth of 47% and trading profits rose 48%. In China, Tencent recorded another strong set of results in an increasingly competitive market. Rapid growth of the internet industry in China enabled Tencent, through its focus on user experience, to further expand the usefulness of its core platforms.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS Naspers Limited was incorporated in 1915 under the laws of the Republic of South Africa. The principal activities of Naspers and its operating subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies (collectively (cid:2130)the group”) are the operation of pay television, internet and instant-messaging subscriber platforms, e-commerce platforms and the provision of related technologies and the publishing, distribution and printing of magazines, newspapers and books. These activities are conducted primarily in South Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, China, Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, India and Latin America. 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The consolidated annual financial statements of the group are presented in accordance with, and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), interpretations issued and effective at the time of preparing these financial statements and the South African Companies Act No 61 of 1973, as amended. The consolidated financial statements are prepared according to the historic cost convention as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value with the movements recognised in the income statement and statement of comprehensive income. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements necessitates the use of estimates, assumptions and judgements by management. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the statement of financial position date as well as affecting the reported income and expenses for the year. Although estimates are based on management’s best knowledge and judgement of current facts as at the statement of financial position date, the actual outcome may differ from these estimates. Estimates are made regarding the fair value of intangible assets recognised in business combinations; impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, financial assets, financial assets carried at amortised cost, available-for-sale financial assets and other assets; the remeasurements required in business combinations and disposals of associates, joint ventures and subsidiaries; fair value measurements of level 2 and level 3 financial instruments; provisions; taxation; post-retirement medical aid benefits and equity compensation benefits. Refer to the individual notes for details of estimates, assumptions and judgements used. (a) Basis of consolidation The consolidated annual financial statements include the results of Naspers Limited and its subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and related share incentive trusts. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the group. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible without restriction are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date that effective control is transferred to the group and are no longer consolidated from the date that effective control ceases. For certain entities, the group has entered into contractual arrangements (such as nominee relationships and escrow arrangements), which allow the group, along with its direct interests in such entities, to control a majority of the voting rights or otherwise have power to exercise control over the operations of such entities. Because the group controls such entities in this manner they are considered to be subsidiaries and are therefore consolidated in the annual financial statements. All intergroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses are eliminated as part of the consolidation process. The interests of non-controlling shareholders in the consolidated equity and results of the group are shown separately in the consolidated statement of financial NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 17 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (a) Basis of consolidation (continued) Subsidiaries (continued) position, consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, respectively. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance. Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. For each business combination, the group measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, are expensed as incurred. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value as at the acquisition date through profit and loss. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill Goodwill is initially measured at cost being 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 over the group’s net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired (a bargain purchase), the difference is recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries and joint ventures is included in (cid:2130)goodwill” on the statement of financial position. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in (cid:2130)investments in associates”. Separately recognised goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (which are expected to benefit from the business combination) for the purpose of impairment testing. An impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Transactions with non-controlling shareholders The group applies the economic entity model in accounting for transactions with non-controlling shareholders. In terms of this model, non-controlling shareholders are viewed as equity participants of the group and all transactions with non-controlling shareholders are therefore accounted for as equity transactions and included in the statement of changes in equity. On acquisition of an interest from a non-controlling shareholder, any excess of the cost of the transaction over the acquirer’s proportionate share of the net asset value acquired is allocated to a separate component of equity. Dilution profits and losses relating to non-wholly owned subsidiary entities are similarly accounted for in the statement of changes in equity in terms of the economic entity model. 18 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (a) Basis of consolidation (continued) Common control transactions Business combinations in which all of the combining entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination (and where that control is not transitory) are referred to as common control transactions. The accounting policy for the acquiring entity would be to account for the transaction at book values in its consolidated financial statements. The book values of the acquired entity are the consolidated book values as reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the selling entity. The excess of the cost of the transaction over the acquirer’s proportionate share of the net asset value acquired in common control transactions, will be allocated to the existing control business combination reserve in equity. Where comparative periods are presented, the financial statements and financial information presented are not restated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Associated companies Investments in associated companies are accounted for under the equity method. Associated companies are those companies in which the group generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the group exercises significant influence, but which it does not control. Equity accounting involves recognising in the income statement the group’s share of the associate’s post-acquisition results net of taxation and non-controlling interests in the associate. The group’s share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is accounted for in the other comprehensive income of the group. The group’s interest in the associate is carried on the statement of financial position at cost, adjusted for the group’s share of the change in post- acquisition net assets, and inclusive of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets recognised on acquisitions. Where the group’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of its investment, the carrying amount of the investment as well as any loans to the associate are reduced to nil and no further losses are recognised, unless the group has incurred obligations to the associate or the group has guaranteed or committed to satisfy obligations of the associate. Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in the associates, unless the loss provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. All major foreign associates have December year-ends, and the group’s accounting policy is to account for a three-month lag period in reporting their results. Any significant transactions that occurred between December and the group’s March year-end are taken into account. Accounting policies of associated companies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Partial disposals of associates that do not result in a loss of significant influence are accounted for as dilutions. Dilution profits and losses relating to associated companies are accounted for in the income statement. The proportionate share of any gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also reclassified to the income statement. The group applies the (cid:2130)cost of each purchase” method for step acquisitions of associates. With this method the cost of an associate acquired in stages is measured as the sum of the consideration paid for each purchase plus a share of the investee’s profits and other equity movements. Any other comprehensive income recognised in prior periods in relation to the previously held stake in the acquired associate is reversed through equity and a share of profits and other equity movements is also recorded in equity. Any acquisition-related costs are treated as part of the investment in the associate. When the group increases its shareholding in an associate and continues to have significant influence, the group adds the cost of the additional investment to the carrying value of the associate. The goodwill arising is calculated based on the fair value information at the date the additional interest is acquired. NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 19 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (a) Basis of consolidation (continued) Joint ventures The group’s interest in jointly controlled entities is accounted for by way of proportionate consolidation. The group combines its share of the joint ventures’ individual income and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows on a line-by-line basis with similar items in the group’s financial statements. The group recognises the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the group to the joint venture that is attributable to the other venturers. The group does not recognise its share of gains or losses from the joint venture that results from the purchase of assets by the group from the joint venture until it resells the assets to an independent third party. However, if a loss on the transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss, the loss is recognised immediately. Where necessary, accounting policies for joint ventures have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Disposals When the group ceases to have control (subsidiaries) or significant influence (associates), any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in the carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequent accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. (b) Investments The group classifies its investments in debt and equity securities into the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and loans and receivables. The classification is dependent on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation on an annual basis. At fair value through profit or loss assets has two subcategories: financial assets held-for-trading and those designated as at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified into this category at inception if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term, if it forms part of a portfolio of financial assets in which there is evidence of short-term profit-taking, or, if permitted to do so, designated by management. For the purpose of these financial statements short term is defined as a period of three months or less. The group does not hold financial assets for trading, therefore assets held as at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such on initial recognition. Derivatives are also classified as held-for-trading unless they are designated as hedges. The group has no at fair value through profit or loss or available-for-sale investments for the years ended 31 March 2011 and 31 March 2010. Investments with a fixed maturity that management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are included in non-current assets, except for maturities within 12 months from the statement of financial position date, which are classified as current assets. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market other than those that the group intends to sell in the short term or that it has designated as at fair value through profit or loss or available-for- sale. Loans and receivables are included in non-current assets, except for maturities within 12 months from the statement of financial position date, which are classified as current assets. All other investments, including those that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity, changes in fair value or interest rates, are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale assets are included in non-current assets unless management has the express intention of holding the investment for less than 12 months from 20 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (b) Investments (continued) the statement of financial position date or unless they will need to be sold to raise operating capital, in which case they are included in current assets. Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date, which is the date that the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus, in the case of all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. At fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale investments are subsequently carried at fair value. Held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective yield method. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of at fair value through profit or loss investments are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale are recognised in other comprehensive income. The fair values of investments are based on quoted bid prices or amounts derived from cash flow models. Fair values for unlisted equity securities are estimated using applicable price:earnings or price:cash flow ratios refined to reflect the specific circumstances of the issuer. Equity securities for which fair values cannot be measured reliably are recognised at cost less impairment. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the income statement as (cid:2130)gains on acquisitions and disposals”. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or where they have been transferred and the group has also transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. (c) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, being the purchase cost plus any cost to prepare the assets for their intended use, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchase costs. Property, plant and equipment, with the exception of land, are depreciated in equal annual amounts over each asset’s estimated useful life to their residual values. Land is not depreciated as it is deemed to have an indefinite life. Depreciation periods vary in accordance with the conditions in the relevant industries, but are subject to the following range of useful lives: (cid:96) Buildings (cid:96) Manufacturing equipment (cid:96) Office equipment (cid:96) Improvements to buildings (cid:96) Computer equipment (cid:96) Vehicles (cid:96) Transmission equipment 20 – 50 years 1 – 25 years 2 – 17 years 4 – 50 years 1 – 10 years 2 – 10 years 5 – 20 years The group applied the component approach whereby parts of some items of property, plant and equipment may require replacement at regular intervals. The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment will include the cost of replacing the part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the group and the cost can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognised on disposal or when it is withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. Major leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of their respective lease periods and estimated useful economic life.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (c) Property, plant and equipment (continued) Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. A qualifying asset is an asset that takes more than a year to get ready for its intended use or sale. Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the group incur in connection with the borrowing of funds. This includes interest expenses calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of finance leases and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings’ interest cost. Where a range of debt instruments are used to borrow funds, or where the financing activities are coordinated centrally, a weighted average capitalisation rate is applied. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised 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. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the group and the cost can be reliably measured. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful economic life of the related asset. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodically to assess whether or not the net recoverable amount has declined below the carrying amount. In the event of such impairment, the carrying amount is reduced and the reduction is charged as an expense against income. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the asset’s carrying amount and are recognised within (cid:2130)other gains/losses – net” in the income statement. Work in progress is defined as assets still in the construction phase and not yet available for use. These assets are carried at initial cost and are not depreciated. Depreciation on these assets commence when they become available for use and depreciation periods are based on management’s assessment of their useful lives. (d) Leased assets Leases of property, plant and equipment, except land, are classified as finance leases where, substantially all risks and rewards associated with ownership of an asset are transferred from the lessor to the group as lessee. Assets classified as finance leases are capitalised at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the estimated present value of the underlying minimum lease payments, with the related lease obligation recognised at the estimated present value of the minimum lease payments. Bank rates are used to calculate present values of minimum lease payments. Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, limited to the duration of the lease agreement. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long- or short-term payables. 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. Leases of assets under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the third-party lessor are classified as operating leases. Operating lease rentals (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 22 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (e) Intangible assets Patents, brand names, trademarks, title rights, concession rights, software and other similar intangible assets acquired are capitalised at cost. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but tested for impairment annually as well as when an indication of possible impairment exists, and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, it is adjusted for impairment. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are being amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives and residual values of intangible assets are reassessed on an annual basis. Amortisation periods for intangible assets with finite useful lives vary in accordance with the conditions in the relevant industries, but are subject to the following maximum limits: (cid:96) Patents (cid:96) Title rights (cid:96) Brand names and trademarks (cid:96) Software (cid:96) Intellectual property rights (cid:96) Subscriber base 5 years 20 years 30 years 10 years 30 years 11 years No value is attributed to internally developed trademarks or similar rights and assets. The costs incurred to develop these items are charged to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. The fair values of intangible assets with finite or infinite useful lives may be revalued due to valuation differences that arise on business combinations. This does not signify that the group has elected to apply an accounting policy of revaluing these items after initial recognition. The valuation and impairment testing of intangible assets requires significant judgement by management. Work in progress is defined as assets still in the construction phase and not yet available for use. These assets are carried at initial cost and are not amortised. Amortisation on these assets commence when they become available for use and amortisation periods are based on management’s assessment of their useful lives. (f) Programme and film rights Programme material rights Purchased programme and film rights are stated at acquisition costs less accumulated amortisation. Programme material rights, which consist of the rights to broadcast programmes, series and films, are recorded at the date the rights come into license at the spot rates on the purchase date. The rights are amortised based on contracted screenings or expensed where management have confirmed that it is their intention that no further screenings will occur. Programme material rights contracted by the reporting date in respect of programmes, series and films not yet in license are disclosed as commitments. Programme production costs Programme production costs, which consist of all costs necessary to produce and complete a programme to be broadcast, are recorded at the lower of direct cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is set at the average cost of programme material rights. Programme production costs are amortised based on contracted screenings or expensed where management have confirmed that it is their intention that no further screenings will occur. All programme production costs in excess of the expected net realisable value of the production on completion, are expensed when contracted.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (f) Programme and film rights (continued) Sports events rights Sports events rights are recorded at the date that the period to which the events relate, commences at the rate of exchange ruling at that date. These rights are expensed over the period to which the events relate or where management has confirmed that it is its intention that the event will not be screened. Payments made to negotiate and secure the broadcasting of sports events are expensed as incurred. Rights to future sports events contracted by the reporting date, but which have not yet commenced, are disclosed as commitments, except where payments have already been made, which are shown as prepaid expenses. (g) Impairment Financial assets The group assesses, at each statement of financial position date or when an indication of possible impairment exists, whether there is any objective evidence that an investment or group of investments is impaired. If any such evidence exists, the entity applies the following principles for each class of financial asset to determine the amount of any impairment loss. Financial assets carried at amortised cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments carried at amortised cost has been incurred, 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 (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (ie the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced directly through profit and loss. An impairment loss recognised on an asset in a previous period is written back through profit and loss if the estimates used to calculate the recoverable amount have changed since the previous impairment loss was recognised. The reversal shall not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The reversal is recognised in the income statement in the same line as the original impairment charge. Available-for-sale financial assets When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised directly in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in other comprehensive income shall be removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss even though the financial asset has not been derecognised. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale shall not be reversed through profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss shall be reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in profit or loss. Other assets The group evaluates the carrying value of assets with finite useful lives annually and when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Indicators of possible impairment include but are not limited to: significant underperformance relative to expectations based on historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for the group’s overall business, significant negative industry or 24 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (g) Impairment (continued) Other assets (continued) economic trends and a significant and sustained decline in an investment’s share price or market capitalisation relative to its net asset value. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or when an indication of possible impairment exists. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less cost to sell, or its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. The estimated future cash flows 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 asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. An impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior years is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised and the recoverable amount exceeds the new carrying amount. The reversal of the impairment is limited to the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. The reversal of such an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement in the same line item as the original impairment charge. (h) Development activities Research and development costs Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will be profitable considering its commercial and technical feasibility and its costs can be measured reliably. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use on a straight-line basis over its useful life, not exceeding the limits stated in note (e). Development assets are tested for impairment annually and the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. This loss is also reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised and the recoverable amount exceeds the new carrying amount. The reversal of the impairment is limited to the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. The reversal of such an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement in the same line item as the original impairment charge. Software and website development costs Costs that are directly associated with the production of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the group, and which will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. Direct costs include the software development team’s employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. All other costs associated with developing or maintaining software programs are recognised as an expense as incurred. Website development costs are capitalised as intangible assets if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the group and its cost can be NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 25 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (h) Development activities (continued) Software and website development costs (continued) measured reliably, otherwise these costs are charged against operating profit as the expenditure is incurred. (i) Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost of inventory is determined by means of the first-in first-out basis or the weighted average method. The majority of inventory is valued using the first-in first-out basis, but for certain inventories with a specific nature and use which differ significantly from other classes of inventory, the weighted average is used. The cost of finished products and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads, but excludes finance costs. Costs of inventories include the transfer from other comprehensive income of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow hedges relating to inventory purchases. Net realisable value is the estimate of the selling price, less the costs of completion and selling expenses. Provisions are made for obsolete, unusable and unsaleable inventory and for latent damage first revealed when inventory items are taken into use or offered for sale. (j) Trade receivables Trade receivables are recognised at fair value at the date of initial recognition, and subsequently carried at amortised cost less provision made for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated recoverable amount. (k) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the statement of financial position at cost. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks. Certain cash balances are restricted from immediate use according to terms with banks or other financial institutions. For cash flow purposes, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts. (l) Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method. Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings. (m) Accounts payable Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. (n) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Costs related to the ongoing activities of the group are not provided in advance. The group recognises the estimated liability on all products still under warranty at the statement of financial position date. The group recognises a provision for onerous contracts when the 26 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (n) Provisions (continued) expected benefits to be derived from a contract are less than the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract. Restructuring provisions are recognised in the period in which the group becomes legally or constructively committed to payment. Costs related to the ongoing activities of the group are not provided in advance. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is determined by discounting the anticipated future cash flows expected to be required to settle the obligation at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense. (o) Taxation Taxation rates The normal South African company tax rate used for the year ending 31 March 2011 is 28% (2010: 28%). Deferred tax assets and liabilities for South African entities at 31 March 2011 have been calculated using the 28% (2010: 28%) rate, being the rate that the group expects to apply to the periods when the assets are realised or the liabilities are settled. Secondary tax on companies (STC) is calculated at 10% (2010: 10%), and capital gains tax is calculated at 50% of the company tax rate. International tax rates vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Tax expense The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current income tax The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the statement of financial position date in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred taxation Deferred taxation is provided in full, using the statement of financial position liability method, for all taxable or deductible temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from 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 statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Using this method, the group is required to make provision for deferred taxation, in relation to an acquisition, on the difference between the fair values of the net assets acquired and their tax base. Provision for taxes, mainly withholding taxes, which could arise on the remittance of retained earnings, is only made if there is a current intention to remit such earnings. NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 27 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (o) Taxation (continued) Deferred taxation (continued) The principal taxable or deductible temporary differences arise from depreciation on property, plant and equipment, other intangibles, provisions and other current liabilities, income received in advance, STC credits, finance leases and tax losses carried forward. Deferred taxation assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and STC credits can be utilised. Deferred taxation is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, 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. Secondary tax on companies (STC) Dividends declared by South African companies are subject to STC, but the STC liability is reduced by dividends received during the dividend cycle. Where the dividends received exceed dividends declared within a cycle, there is no liability to pay STC. The potential tax benefit related to excess dividends received is carried forward to the next dividend cycle. Where dividends declared exceed the dividends received during a cycle, STC is payable at the current STC rate. The STC expense is included in the taxation charge in the income statement in the period that the dividend is paid. Deferred tax assets are recognised on unutilised STC credits to the extent that it is probable that the group will declare future dividends to utilise such STC credits. (p) Foreign currencies The consolidated financial statements are presented in rand, which is the company’s functional and presentation currency. However, the group separately measures the transactions of each of its material operations using the functional currency determined for that specific entity, which in most instances, but not always, is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the operation conducts its business. For transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or the dates of the valuations where items are remeasured. 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 recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary items, such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets, are included in the valuation reserve in other comprehensive income. For translation of group companies’ results The results and financial position of all the 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: (i) (ii) 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. 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 spot rate on the dates of the transactions). 28 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (p) Foreign currencies (continued) For translation of group companies’ results (continued) (iii) Components of equity for each statement of changes in equity presented are translated at the historic rate. (iv) All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the “gains on acquisitions and disposals”. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as the foreign entity’s assets and liabilities and are translated at the closing rate. (q) Derivative financial instruments The group uses derivative instruments to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These instruments mainly comprise foreign exchange contracts, interest rate caps and interest rate swap agreements. Foreign exchange contracts protect the group from movements in exchange rates by fixing the rate at which a foreign currency asset or liability will be settled. Interest rate caps and swap agreements protect the group from movements in interest rates. It is the policy of the group not to trade in derivative financial instruments for economically speculative purposes. The group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are expected to be and have been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. The fair values of various derivative instruments used for hedging purposes are disclosed in note 38. Movements on the hedging reserve are shown in the statement of comprehensive income. Derivative financial instruments are recognised in the statement of financial position at fair value. Derivatives are classified as non-current assets and liabilities except for derivatives with maturity dates within 12 months of the statement of financial position date, which are then classified as current assets or liabilities. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss is dependent on the nature of the item being hedged. The group designates derivatives as either (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognised asset or liability or firm commitment (fair value hedge), or (2) a hedge of a forecast transaction or of the foreign currency risk of a firm commitment (cash flow hedge), or (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign entity on the date a derivative contract is entered into. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and that are highly effective are recognised in other comprehensive income and the ineffective part of the hedge is recognised in the income statement. Where the forecast transaction or firm commitment, of which the foreign currency risk is being hedged, results in the recognition of an asset or a liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability. Otherwise, amounts deferred in other comprehensive income are transferred to the income statement and classified as income or expense in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects the income statement. NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 29 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (q) Derivative financial instruments (continued) Certain derivative transactions, while providing effective economic hedges under the group’s risk management policies, do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the income statement. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in other comprehensive income at that time remains in other comprehensive income and is recognised when the committed or forecast transaction ultimately is recognised in the income statement. When a committed or forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to the income statement. Hedges of net investments in foreign entities are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Where the hedging instrument is a derivative, any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income; the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement. However, where the hedging instrument is not a derivative, all foreign exchange gains and losses arising on translation are recognised in the income statement. Embedded derivatives are derivative instruments that are embedded in another contract (host contract). The group separates an embedded derivative from its host contract and accounts for it separately, when its economic characteristics are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract. These separated embedded derivatives are classified as trading assets or liabilities and marked to market through the income statement, provided that the combined contract is not measured at fair value with changes through the income statement. The group classifies gains and losses on embedded derivative instruments as follows: while the asset related to the embedded derivative is recorded on the statement of financial position, any fair value adjustments are recorded as part of “other finance income/(costs) – net”. Once the embedded derivative is derecognised or realised, any foreign exchange gain or loss is recorded as part of “cost of providing services and sale of goods” sold to match the cost of the item that was recognised in operating profit during that period. (r) Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value added tax (VAT), returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the group. The group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the group’s activities as described 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. Product sales Sales are recognised upon delivery of products and customer acceptance, net of sales taxes, VAT and discounts and after eliminating sales within the group. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with credit terms, which are short term in nature. Subscription fees Pay-television and internet subscription fees are earned over the period the services are provided. Subscription revenue arises from the monthly billing of subscribers for pay-television and internet services provided by the group. Revenue is recognised in the month the service is rendered. Any subscription revenue received in advance of the service being provided is recorded as deferred income and recognised in the month the service is provided. 30 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (r) Revenue recognition (continued) Circulation revenue Circulation revenue is recognised net of estimated returns in the month in which the magazine or newspaper is sold. Book publishing and sales Sales are recognised upon delivery of products and customer acceptance, net of sales taxes, VAT and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the group. Advertising revenues The group mainly derives advertising revenues from advertisements published in its newspapers and magazines, broadcast on its pay-television platforms and shown online on its websites and instant-messaging windows. Advertising revenues from pay-television and print media products are recognised upon showing or publication over the period of the advertising contract. Publication is regarded to be when the print media product has been delivered to the retailer and is available to be purchased by the general public. Online advertising revenues are recognised over the period in which the advertisements are displayed. Printing and distribution Revenues from print and distribution services are recognised upon completion of the services and delivery of the related product and customer acceptance, net of taxes, VAT and discounts, and after elimination of sales within the group. The recognition of print services revenue is based upon delivery of the product to the distribution depot and acceptance by the distributor of the customer, or where the customer is responsible for the transport of the customers’ products, acceptance by the customer or its nominated transport company. Revenues from distribution services are recognised upon delivery of the product to the retailer and acceptance thereof. Print and distribution services are separately provided by different entities within the group and separately contracted for by third-party customers. Where these services are provided to the same client, the terms of each separate contract are consistent with contracts where an unrelated party provides one of the services. Revenue is recognised separately for print and distribution services as the contracts are separately negotiated based on fair value for each service. Technology contracts and licensing For contracts with multiple obligations (eg maintenance and other services), revenue from product licences are recognised when delivery has occurred, collection of the receivables is probable, and the revenue associated with delivered and undelivered elements are reliably measured. The group recognises revenue allocated to maintenance and support fees, for ongoing customer support and product updates rateably over the period of the relevant contracts. Payments for maintenance and support fees are generally made in advance and are non-refundable. For revenue allocated to consulting services and for consulting services sold separately, the group recognises revenue as the related services are performed. The group enters into arrangements with network operators whereby application software is licensed to network operators in exchange for a percentage of the subscription revenue they earn from their customers. Where all of the software under the arrangement has been delivered, the revenue is recognised as the network operator reports to the group its revenue share, which is generally done on a quarterly basis. Under arrangements where the group has committed to deliver unspecified future applications, the revenue earned on the delivered applications is recognised on a subscription basis over the term of the arrangement. NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 31 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (r) Revenue recognition (continued) Contract publishing Revenue relating to any particular publication is brought into account in the month that it is published. Sales are recognised net of sales taxes, VAT and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the group. Decoder maintenance revenue Decoder maintenance revenue is recognised over the period the service is provided. e-Commerce revenue e-Commerce revenue represents amounts receivable for services net of VAT and refunds. The group recognises listing and related fees on listing of an item for sale and success fees and any other relevant commission when a transaction is completed on the group’s websites. (s) Other income Interest and dividends received on available-for-sale financial assets are included in investment income and not as part of the fair value movement in other comprehensive income. Interest is accrued on the effective yield method and dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established. (t) Employee benefits Retirement benefits The group provides retirement benefits for its full-time employees, primarily by means of monthly contributions to a number of defined contribution pension and provident funds in the countries in which the group operates. The assets of these funds are generally held in separate trustee- administered funds. The group’s contributions to retirement funds are recognised as an expense in the period in which employees render the related service. Medical aid benefits The group’s contributions to medical aid benefit funds for employees are recognised as an expense in the period during which the employees render services to the group. Post-retirement medical aid benefit Some group companies provide post-retirement healthcare benefits to their retirees. The entitlement to post-retirement healthcare benefits is based on the employee remaining in service up to retirement age and completing a minimum service period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment. Independent qualified actuaries carry out annual valuations of these obligations. All actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the income statement. The actuarial valuation method used to value the obligations is the projected unit credit method. Future benefits are projected using specific actuarial assumptions and the liability to in-service members is accrued over their expected working lifetime. These obligations are unfunded with the exception of the schemes of agreements entered into with employees from Media24 Limited and Via Afrika Limited. Termination benefits Termination benefits are employee benefits payable as a result of either an entity’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date or an employee’s decision to accept voluntary redundancy in exchange for those benefits. The group recognises these termination benefits when the group is demonstrably committed to either terminate the employment of an employee or group of employees before the normal retirement date, or provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy. 32 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (t) Employee benefits (continued) Termination benefits (continued) The group is demonstrably committed to a termination when the group has a detailed formal plan (with specified minimum contents) for the termination and it is without realistic possibility of withdrawal. Where termination benefits fall due more than 12 months after the reporting period, they are discounted. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the measurement of termination benefits are based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Termination benefits are immediately recognised as an expense. (u) Equity compensation benefits The group grants share options/share appreciation rights (SARs) to its employees under a number of equity compensation plans. In accordance with IFRS 2, the group has recognised an employee benefit expense in the income statement, representing the fair value of share options/ SARs granted to the group’s employees. A corresponding credit to equity has been raised for equity-settled plans, whereas a corresponding credit to liabilities has been raised for cash-settled plans. The fair value of the options/SARs at the date of grant under equity-settled plans is charged to income over the relevant vesting periods, adjusted to reflect actual and expected levels of vesting. For cash-settled plans, the group remeasures the fair value of the recognised liability at each reporting date and at the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss for the period. A share option scheme/SAR is considered equity-settled when the option/gain is settled by the issue of a Naspers N share. They are considered cash-settled when they are settled in cash or any other asset, ie not by the issue of a Naspers N share. Each share trust deed and SAR plan deed, as appropriate, indicates whether a plan is to be settled by the issue of Naspers shares or not. Where shares are held or acquired by subsidiary companies for equity compensation plans, they are treated as treasury shares (see accounting policy below). When these shares are subsequently issued to participants of the equity compensation plans on the vesting date, any gains or losses realised by the plan are recorded in treasury shares. (v) Share capital and treasury shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction against share premium. Where subsidiaries hold shares in the holding company’s share capital, the consideration paid to acquire these shares including any attributable incremental external costs is deducted from total shareholders’ equity as treasury shares. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, the cost of those shares are released, and any realised gains or losses are included in treasury shares. Shares issued to or held by share incentive plans within the group are treated as treasury shares until such time when participants pay for and take delivery of such shares. The same applies to treasury shares held by joint ventures. (w) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker. The chief operating decisionmaker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive committee that makes strategic decisions. The group proportionally consolidates its share of the results of its associated companies in the various reporting segments. This is considered to be more reflective of the economic value of these investments.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (x) Discontinuing operations A discontinuing operation results from the sale or abandonment of an operation that represents a separate, major line of business and for which the assets, net profits or losses and activities can be distinguished physically, operationally and for reporting purposes. The results of discontinuing operations up to the point of sale or abandonment, net of taxation, are separately disclosed. (y) Recently issued accounting standards The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a number of standards, amendments to standards and interpretations during the financial year ended 31 March 2011. These amendments and standards will therefore be implemented by the group during the financial years as set out below: (i) (cid:96) (cid:96) (cid:96) (cid:96) (cid:96) (cid:96) Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to existing standards effective in the year ended 31 March 2011: IFRS 3 (cid:2130)Business Combinations” (IFRS 3) and IAS 27 (cid:2130)Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” (IAS 27): The amendments to IFRS 3 and IAS 27 were issued on 10 January 2008 and have a greater emphasis on the use of fair value, focusing on changes in control as a significant economic event and focusing on what is given to the vendor as consideration rather than to look at what was given to achieve the acquisition. The group adopted these amendments with effect 1 April 2010 and has changed its accounting policy accordingly. The new accounting policies as described under (cid:2130)Subsidiaries”, (cid:2130)Business combinations”, (cid:2130)Goodwill”, (cid:2130)Associates”, (cid:2130)Joint Ventures” and (cid:2130)Disposals” resulted in remeasurements of R72m and acquisition related costs of R109m recorded in the line item (cid:2130)Gains on acquisitions and disposals” in the income statement. IFRIC 17 (cid:2130)Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners” was issued on 27 November 2008 and clarifies the accounting treatment of non-cash dividend distributions. The group adopted this interpretation with no material effect on the group’s financial statements. IAS 7 (cid:2130)Statement of Cash Flows” has been amended and requires changes in interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control to be recorded in financing activities as opposed to investing activities. This amendment is effective retrospectively, resulting in the restatement of the statement of cash flows. Preference dividends received are now recorded in investing activities as opposed to financing activities. The total amount reallocated to investing activities was R404m for the year ended 31 March 2010. On 18 June 2009 the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2 (cid:2130)Share-based Payment” that clarify the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions in an individual subsidiary’s separate financial statements. The group adopted these amendments with no material effect on the group’s financial statements. On 30 July 2008 amendments to IAS 39 (cid:2130)Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” were issued. They clarify two hedge accounting issues, namely (cid:2130)inflation in a financial hedged item”, and also how a one-sided risk in a hedged item should be accounted for. The group adopted these amendments with no material effect on the group’s financial statements. The amendments to IAS 32 (cid:2130)Financial Instruments: Presentation” clarifies the accounting treatment when rights issues are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the issuer. The amendment states that if such rights are issued pro rata to an entity’s existing shareholders for a fixed amount of currency, they should be classified as equity regardless of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated. The group adopted these amendments with no material effect on the group’s financial statements. 34 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (y) Recently issued accounting standards (continued) (cid:96) (cid:96) The amendments to IFRS 1 (cid:2130)First-time Adoption of IFRS” became effective during the year ended 31 March 2011, but had no effect on the group’s financial statements. The annual improvements issued by the IASB during 2008 and 2009 which are effective have been adopted by the group with no material effect. (ii) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been earlier adopted by the group: (cid:96) (cid:96) (cid:96) (cid:96) (cid:96) (cid:96) (cid:96) IFRIC 19 (cid:2130)Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments” was issued on 26 November 2009 and clarifies the accounting treatment when an entity renegotiates the terms of its debt with the result that its debt is partly or fully extinguished. The group will adopt this interpretation in its financial year ending 31 March 2012 and is currently evaluating the effects. On 7 October 2010 the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7 (cid:2130)Financial Instruments: Disclosures on Derecognition” that will promote transparency in the reporting of transfer transactions and improve users’ understanding of the risk exposures relating to transfers of financial assets and the effect of those risks on an entity’s financial position. The group will adopt these amendments in its financial year ending 31 March 2013 and is currently evaluating the effects. The amendment to IAS 12 (cid:2130)Income Taxes” was issued on 20 December 2010 and introduces an exception to the normal rule that measurement of deferred tax in respect of an asset depends on the asset’s expected manner of recovery. The exception applies to investment property measured using the fair value model and introduces a rebuttable presumption that such investment property is recovered entirely through sale. The group will adopt these amendments in its financial year ending 31 March 2013 and is currently evaluating the effects. During 2008, 2009 and 2010 the IASB issued (cid:2130)Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards”. These are non-urgent but necessary improvements, and consist of various amendments that the group has adopted during its financial year ended 31 March 2011 and will also adopt in its financial year ending 31 March 2012. The revised IAS 24 (cid:2130)Related Party Disclosures” was issued on 4 November 2009 and provides partial relief from the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities. It also clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party. The group will adopt this revised standard in its financial year ending 31 March 2012 and is currently evaluating the effects. IFRS 9 (cid:2130)Financial Instruments” was issued on 12 November 2009 and updated on 29 October 2010. It addresses classification and measurement of financial assets as the first part of its project to replace IAS 39. It replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in IAS 39 with a single model that has only two classification categories namely amortised cost and fair value. The main change in the additions 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 to the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. The group will adopt this revised standard in its financial year ending 31 March 2014 and is currently evaluating the effects. IFRS 10 (cid:2130)Consolidated Financial Statements” was issued on 12 May 2011, which resulted in an amended IAS 27. The amended IAS contains the accounting and disclosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity elects to present separate financial statements. IFRS 10’s objective is to establish principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. The group will adopt this new standard and amendment in its financial year ending 31 March 2014 and is currently evaluating the effects. NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 35 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (y) Recently issued accounting standards (continued) (cid:96) (cid:96) (cid:96) (cid:96) IFRS 11 (cid:2130)Joint Arrangements” was issued on 12 May 2011, which focuses on the accounting for joint operations and joint ventures. The main change is that the new standard requires the use of the equity method of accounting for interests in joint ventures thereby eliminating the proportionate consolidation method. The group will adopt this new standard in its financial year ending 31 March 2014 and is currently evaluating the effects. IFRS 12 (cid:2130)Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities” was issued on 12 May 2011 and applies to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates or unconsolidated entities. This resulted in the amendment of IAS 28. The amended IAS prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. IFRS 12 establishes disclosure objectives and specifies the minimum disclosures that an entity must provide to meet those objectives. The group will adopt this new standard and amendment in its financial year ending 31 March 2014 and is currently evaluating the effects. IFRS 13 (cid:2130)Fair Value Measurements” was issued on 12 May 2011. It establishes a single framework for measuring fair value which is required by other standards. The standard applies to both financial and non-financial items measured at fair value. The group will adopt this new standard in its financial year ending 31 March 2014 and is currently evaluating the effects. The IASB issued amendments to IFRIC 14 and IFRS 1, which are not applicable to the group. The details of these are available on the IASB’s website at www.iasb.org. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES Financial year ended 31 March 2011 In August 2010 the group consolidated its internet interests in Russia, acquiring a 28,7% interest in Digital Sky Technologies (DST), a prominent internet company in Russian-speaking markets. DST was renamed Mail.ru Group and listed on the London Stock Exchange in November 2010. In consideration, the group contributed its 39,3% investment in Mail.ru Group and US$388m in cash. In August 2010 the group acquired a 67,8% fully diluted interest in OLX Inc., an online classifieds business. The fair value of the total purchase consideration was R1 044m (US$144m) cash. The purchase price allocation (PPA) included tangible assets R3m, intangible assets R260m, cash R237m, other current assets R59m, trade and other payables R35m, deferred tax liability R103m and the balance to goodwill. The main factor contributing to the goodwill recognised is the company’s presence in the classifieds sector in emerging markets. The recognised goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. A non-controlling interest of R51m was recognised at the acquisition date. This was measured using the proportionate share of the identifiable net assets. In December 2010 the group increased its total economic interest to 71,5% on a fully diluted basis. This was accounted for as a transaction with non-controlling interests. The difference of R34m between net asset value and the purchase consideration was recorded in the equity. The revenue and results from OLX since the acquisition date were not significant to the group’s consolidated results. In September 2010 the group acquired a 73,9% fully diluted interest in Multiply Inc. which combines social networking with an online marketplace. The fair value of the total purchase consideration was R311m (US$44m) in cash. The group increased its holding in Multiply to 74,5% during November for a purchase consideration of R13m (US$2m) of which R3m was allocated to equity. The preliminary PPA included tangible assets R7m, intangible assets R80m, cash R3m, trade and other receivables R2m, trade and other payables R1m, deferred tax liability R24m and the balance to goodwill. The main factor contributing to the goodwill recognised is the company’s significant user base in emerging markets. The recognised goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax 36 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 3. SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES (continued) Financial year ended 31 March 2011 (continued) purposes. A non-controlling interest of R17m was recognised at the acquisition date, and was measured using the proportionate share of the identifiable net assets. The revenue and results from Multiply since the acquisition date were not significant to the group’s consolidated results. In December 2010 the group acquired 100% of Level Up! International Holdings for a cash purchase consideration of R365m (US$51m). A PPA has not yet been performed and the difference between the net asset value and purchase consideration of R279m was allocated to goodwill. In February 2011 the group acquired 77,7% of DineroMail, Latin America’s leading internet payment solution, for a cash purchase consideration of R206m (US$28m). A PPA has not yet been performed and the difference between the net asset value and purchase consideration of R181m was allocated to goodwill. Total acquisition-related costs of R109m were recorded in (cid:2130)Gains on acquisitions and disposals” in the income statement. Had the revenues and net results of all business combinations that occurred in the period been included from 1 April 2010 it would not have had a significant effect on the group’s consolidated revenue and net results. Financial year ended 31 March 2010 During November 2009 the group contributed its 42,9% interest in Mail.ru as well as a cash consideration of R771m to acquire a 39% interest in Mail.ru Internet N.V. which, subsequent to a share swap, holds 100% of the investment in Mail.ru and Astrum Online Entertainment Holdings. The group continues to equity-account the investment. During October 2009 the group acquired 51% of Korbitec (Proprietary) Limited for cash of R158m with an additional R51m contingent consideration. The group has recorded the purchase consideration, based on a preliminary appraisal namely tangible assets R48m, intangible assets R135m, liabilities R21m and the balance to goodwill. The non-controlling shareholders’ share of the above is R79m. The revenues and profits from the acquisition were not significant to the group’s consolidated results for the year. In September 2009 the group acquired 94,8% (diluted interest of 91%) of Brazilian e-commerce group BuscaPé.com Inc. for a consideration of approximately R2,7bn. This was funded from existing debt facilities. A put option of R89m over the non-controlling shareholders’ interest is part of the purchase consideration. The group has recorded the purchase consideration based on a preliminary appraisal namely tangible assets R180m, intangible assets R394m, liabilities R228m and the balance to goodwill. The revenues and profits from the acquisitions were not significant to the group’s consolidated results for the year. In June 2009 the group announced a public tender offer to acquire Bankier.pl. The group finalised the transaction in August 2009 and acquired 83% of Bankier.pl. Subsequent to the initial 83% interest acquired, the group also acquired the remaining non-controlling shareholders’ interest. The group has recorded the total purchase consideration of R178m namely tangible assets R52m, intangible assets R33m and the balance to goodwill. The revenues and profits from the acquisition were not significant to the group’s consolidated results for the year. The group also made some other acquisitions for a combined cost of approximately R522m. Revenues and profits from these acquisitions were not significant to the group’s consolidated results.

Based on the latest available and reliable information there was a change in the estimated useful life and residual value, which resulted in an increase in depreciation of R0,6m (2010: decrease of R35,5m). During the prior years fires damaged manufacturing equipment at the group’s printing plants. The net book value of the assets damaged by these fires was R143,9m and was disclosed under (cid:2130)Other gains/(losses) – net” in the income statement. These assets were written off, but were fully insured. During the year the group received R185,7m (2010: R326,6m) from its insurers. 40 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 4. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued) The group recognised an impairment of property, plant and equipment with a net book value of R24,6m (2010: R57,0m). The impairment loss has been included in (cid:2130)Other gains/(losses) – net” in the income statement of which Rnil (2010: R51,8m) has been included in the pay-television segment, R24,6m (2010: Rnil) has been included in the internet segment and Rnil (2010: R5,2m) in the print segment. The recoverable amounts of the remaining assets have been determined based on a value in use calculation. The impairments resulted from the recoverable amounts of the assets being lower than the carrying value thereof. The group has pledged property, plant and equipment with a carrying value of R2,1bn at 31 March 2011 (2010: R1,8bn) as security against certain term loans and overdrafts with banks. Registers containing additional information on land and buildings are available for inspection at the registered offices of the respective group companies. The directors are of the opinion that the recoverable amount of each class of property exceeds the carrying amount at which it is included in the statement of financial position. 5.

Included in the total impairment charge is an amount of R306,5m (2010: R335,4m) which relates to our investment in GG Network S.A. (Gadu-Gadu). Gadu-Gadu’s revenue model was negatively impacted by increased competition. The group also impaired other smaller internet and print investments where growth has lagged. For the impairment in Gadu-Gadu, management used a three-year projected cash flow model, a growth rate of 2% and a loss of 15,8%. The impairment charges have been included in (cid:2130)Other gains/(losses) – net” in the income statement of which R636,3m (2010: R335,4m) has been included in the internet segment and R31,7m (2010: R46,5m) in the print segment. The recoverable amounts have been based on value in use calculations. During the year the group finalised the purchase price accounting for acquisitions in the prior year and no significant adjustments were required.

GOODWILL (continued) Impairment testing of goodwill The group has allocated its goodwill to various cash-generating units. The recoverable amounts of these cash-generating units have been determined based on either a value in use calculation or on a fair value less costs to sell basis. The value in use is based on discounted cash flow calculations. The group based its cash flow calculations on three-to-five year budgeted and forecast information approved by senior management and the various boards of directors of group companies. Long-term average growth rates for the respective countries in which the entities operate or where more appropriate, the growth rate of the cash-generating units were used to extrapolate the cash flows into the future. Where the fair value was used to calculate recoverable amounts, it is based on publicly traded market prices. The discount rates used reflect specific risks relating to the relevant cash-generating units and the countries in which they operate. The group allocated goodwill to the following groups of cash-generating units: Net book value of goodwill R’m Basis of determination of recoverable amount Discount rate applied to cash flows % Growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows % Groups of cash-generating units Tradus plc.

GOODWILL (continued) Goodwill represents the above cash-generating units’ ability to generate future cash flows, which is a direct result of various factors, including customer relationships, technological innovations, content libraries, the quality of the workforce acquired, supplier relationships and possible future synergies. If one or more of the inputs were changed to a reasonable possible alternative assumption, there would be no further significant impairments that would have to be recognised. 6.

INVESTMENTS AND LOANS (continued) The market value of the group’s listed investments in associates at 31 March 2011 amounted to R137,7bn (2010: R92,8bn). Tencent Holdings Limited contributed R125,3bn (2010: R92,7bn), Beijing Media Corporation Limited R108,5m (2010: R95,9m) and Mail.ru Group, which was listed in November 2010, R12,3bn (2010: Rnil). The valuation of total unlisted investments and loans, as approved by the directors of the respective group companies, amounted to R7,2bn (2010: R10,8bn). The decline in value of total unlisted investments and loans is mainly as a result of the Mail.ru Group listing during the year. Naspers has two major BEE ownership initiatives, Welkom Yizani Investments Limited ((cid:2130)Welkom Yizani”), which holds ordinary shares in Media24 Holdings (Proprietary) Limited and Phuthuma Nathi Investments Limited and Phuthuma Nathi Investments Limited 2 ((cid:2130)Phuthuma Nathi”) which holds ordinary shares in MultiChoice South Africa Holdings (Proprietary) Limited. BEE participants funded 20% of their investment with cash and the remaining 80% was funded through the issuance of preference shares to Naspers Limited and MIH Holdings Limited. These preference shares are variable, cumulative, redeemable preference shares and are classified as loans and receivables. The Welkom Yizani transaction was restructured during the year ended 31 March 2010. Welkom Yizani redeemed 21,1 million preference shares at a nominal value and the group agreed to waive R119m of arrear and accumulated undeclared preference dividends due to the group. The total refinancing charge of R330m was included in (cid:2130)Other gains/(losses) – net” in the income statement and in the corporate segment in the segment report. Preference dividends are calculated at a rate of 65% (2010: 65%) of the prime interest rate. The carrying value for Welkom Yizani is R404,3m (2010: R391,4m). The Phuthuma Nathi transaction was not affected by the Welkom Yizani restructuring and the carrying value for Phuthuma Nathi was R2,9bn (2010: R3,2bn) at 31 March 2011. Preference dividends are calculated at a rate of 75% (2010: 75%) of the prime interest rate. 46 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 7.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES (continued) Other transactions with related parties Tencent Holdings Limited ((cid:2130)Tencent”) The group entered into a number of intellectual property and know-how licensing agreements with Tencent. On 27 June 2002 Tencent granted a sole and exclusive licence to a group company to use, and to authorise its affiliates ((cid:2130)the operators”), which carry on business in sub-Saharan Africa (including South Africa), Indonesia, Thailand, Greece and Cyprus to use certain proprietary intellectual property and know-how of Tencent for a licence fee computed at 40% of gross revenue derived by the operators by using this proprietary information. The agreement is for a term of 15 years and expires in 2017. MIH India Global Internet Limited ((cid:2130)MIH India”), a joint venture of the group, entered into a transaction with Tencent, pursuant to which Tencent granted to MIH India and its subsidiaries a licence to use Tencent’s technology and content in India in consideration of MIH India granting an option to Tencent to subscribe for new shares of MIH India. The licence will be exclusive to MIH India for an initial period of seven years. Upon termination of the exclusive period, the licence will continue on a non-exclusive basis. Tencent will also provide additional support services to MIH India. During March 2011 Tencent exercised a further 9,9% of its option in MIH India. At 31 March 2011 Tencent held a 19,9% interest in MIH India with the remaining 80,1% held by the group. The group has performed an assessment, as required by IAS 27 (cid:2130)Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, to determine whether the group would still exert control over MIH India in the event that the remaining option is exercised. The option to acquire an additional interest is currently exercisable. Based on this assessment, if Tencent were to exercise its option in full, all decisions made by the board of directors would require approval by both the group and Tencent’s directors. As such, the group will exert joint control, as defined in IAS 31 (cid:2130)Interests in Joint Ventures”, over MIH India with Tencent. The group has proportionately consolidated its share of all assets, liabilities, income and expenses of MIH India. The option granted falls within the scope of IFRS 2 (cid:2130)Share-based Payments”, as equity of the company is being given in exchange for goods and services to be received. The group has therefore performed a calculation to determine the fair value of the option during 2009, which amounted to R31,5m and is being amortised over a seven-year period, being the licence period. The balances of advances, deposits, receivables and payables between the group and related parties are as follows: 31 March 2011 R’m 31 March 2010 R’m Notes Receivables New Media Publishers (Proprietary) Limited Various other related parties Payables Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Company Limited New Media Publishers (Proprietary) Limited Various other related parties [a] [a] [b] [a] [a] 24 14 38 79 7 7 93 20 6 26 — 2 7 9 Refer to note 7 for long-term loans to related parties. Notes [a] The group receives income and purchases goods and services from a number of its related parties mainly for the printing and distribution of magazines and newspapers. The nature of these related party relationships are that of joint ventures and associates. [b] The 6% stake purchased by Tencent during December 2008 in MIH India resulted in a shareholder loan payable to Tencent. The loan is non-interest-bearing with no fixed terms of repayment. 60 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 13.

Capital management The group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide adequate returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk. Naspers relies upon distributions from its subsidiaries, associated companies, joint ventures and other investments to generate the funds necessary to meet the obligations and other cash flow requirements of the combined group. The operations of Naspers have been funded in a number of ways in the past. The internet and technology development activities were primarily funded by cash generated by the pay-television businesses and some debt financing. Media24 used its statement of financial position and cash-generating capacity to utilise debt to finance its property, plant and equipment refurbishment and certain acquisitions. NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 67 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 14. SHARE CAPITAL AND PREMIUM (continued) Capital management (continued) Naspers’s general business approach has been to acquire developing businesses and to provide funding to meet the cash needs of the business until it can, within a reasonable period of time, become self-funding. Funding is provided through a combination of loans and share capital, depending on the country-specific regulatory requirements. From a subsidiary’s perspective, intergroup loan funding is generally considered to be part of the capital structure. The focus on increased profitability and cash flow generation will continue in the foreseeable future, although Naspers will continue to actively evaluate potential growth opportunities within its areas of expertise. Naspers will also grow its business in the future by making equity investments in growth companies. Naspers anticipates that it may fund future acquisitions and investments through the issue of debt instruments and available cash resources. The group sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. In July 2010 the group issued a seven-year US$700m international bond. The bond matures in July 2017 with a fixed interest rate of 6,375%. The proceeds were used to partly pay down the offshore revolving credit facility (RCF). During March 2011 the group refinanced its existing RCF of US$1,72bn with a new RCF of US$1,875bn. The new RCF matures in March 2016 and bears interest at US LIBOR plus 1,75% before commitment and utilisation fees. At the same time, the group entered into a bilateral facility for US$125m under the same terms and conditions as the RCF providing the group with a total RCF of US$2bn. The borrower under the bond and RCF/bilateral facilities is MIH B.V. and the facilities are guaranteed by Naspers Limited. The borrower is obligated to pay a commitment fee equal to 35% of the applicable margin under the RCF/bilateral facility. The undrawn balance of the RCF is available to fund future investments by the group as part of its growth strategy. As of 31 March 2011 Naspers had total interest-bearing debt (including capitalised finance leases) of R13,5bn (2010: R9,5bn) and total cash of R7,4bn (2010: R5,8bn). The net interest-bearing debt to equity ratio was 15% (2010: 11%) at 31 March 2011. The group excludes satellite transponders from total interest-bearing debt when evaluating and managing capital. These items are considered to be operating expenses. The adjusted total interest-bearing debt (excluding transponder leases) was R11,3bn (2010: R7,5bn) and the adjusted net interest-bearing debt to equity ratio was 10% (2010: 5%). The group does not have a formal targeted debt-equity ratio. The group, as well as the Media24 and MIH groups, have specific financial covenants in place with various financial institutions to govern their debt. South African exchange control regulations are administered by the South African Reserve Bank acting through its Financial Surveillance Department. The exchange control regulations provide for a common monetary area consisting of the Republic of South Africa, the Kingdom of Lesotho, the Kingdom of Swaziland and the Republic of Namibia, and restrict the export of capital from the common monetary area. Approval is required for any acquisitions outside of the common monetary area if the acquisition is funded from within the common monetary area. 68 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 15. OTHER RESERVES Other reserves on the statement of financial position comprise: Foreign currency translation reserve Hedging reserve Valuation reserve Existing control business combination reserve Share-based compensation reserve 31 March 2011 R’m 31 March 2010 R’m (1 185) (297) 4 256 25 2 300 5 099 (737) (407) 1 844 97 1 573 2 370 The valuation reserve relates to the difference between the fair value and the book value of shares given in business combinations, as well as the fair value adjustments made to intangible assets during successive acquisitions are included in this reserve. This also relates to unrealised profits and losses that resulted from changes in the fair value of investments that are classified available-for-sale. This includes our share of associates’ revaluation of their own available-for-sale investments. The hedging reserve relates to the changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments. It hedges forecast transactions or the foreign currency part of firm commitments. The changes in fair value are recorded in the hedging reserve until the forecast transaction or firm commitment results in the recognition of an asset or liability, when such deferred gains or losses are then included in the initial measurement of the asset or liability. The foreign currency translation reserve relates to exchange differences arising from the translation of foreign subsidiaries’, joint ventures’ and associates’ income statements at average exchange rates for the year and their statements of financial position at the ruling exchange rates at the statement of financial position date if the functional currency differs. The existing control business combination reserve is used to account for transactions with non- controlling shareholders in terms of the economic entity model, whereby the excess of the cost of the transactions over the acquirer’s interest in previously recognised assets and liabilities is allocated to this reserve in equity. This reserve is also used in common control transactions (where all of the combining entities in a business combination are ultimately controlled by the same entity) where the excess of the cost over the acquirer’s proportionate share of the net assets is allocated to this reserve. The fair value of share options issued to employees is accounted for in the share-based compensation reserve over the vesting period. The reserve is adjusted at each year-end when the entity revises its estimates of the number of share options that are expected to become exercisable. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to this reserve in equity for equity-settled plans.

RETAINED EARNINGS Any future dividends declared from the distributable reserves of the company or its subsidiaries, which are not wholly owned subsidiaries of the company and are incorporated in the Republic of South Africa, may be subject to secondary taxation on companies (STC) at a rate of 10% of the dividends declared. Dividends received by group companies during their various dividend cycles can be carried forward as unutilised STC credits. These STC credits can then be utilised to reduce any STC payable on future dividends declared by group companies. The group’s total unutilised STC credits at 31 March 2011 amounted to R1,6bn (2010: R2,5bn). The group has raised a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of R45,7m relating to unutilised STC credits at 31 March 2011 (2010: R156,6m) due to uncertainties relating to the utilisation of these credits. The valuation allowance was based on the difference between the total unutilised STC credit available to the group, and the estimated STC liability for the next annual dividend cycle. The board of directors has proposed that a dividend of 270 cents (2010: 235 cents) per N ordinary share and 54 cents (2010: 47 cents) per A ordinary share be paid to shareholders on 27 September 2011. If approved by the shareholders of the company at its annual general meeting, the company will pay a total dividend of R1,1bn based on the number of shares in issue at 31 March 2011. The company has enough STC credits carried forward to cover such a dividend. The utilisation of these STC credits will however lead to the realisation of a deferred taxation asset of R110m that will be charged to the income statement during the 2012 financial year. 17. POST-RETIREMENT LIABILITIES 17.1 Medical liability The group operates a number of post-retirement medical benefit schemes. The obligation of the group to pay medical aid contributions after retirement is no longer part of the conditions of employment for new employees. A number of pensioners and current employees, however, remain entitled to this benefit. The entitlement to this benefit for current employees is dependent upon the employees remaining in service until retirement age and completing a minimum service period. The group provides for post-retirement medical aid benefits on the accrual basis determined each year by way of a valuation. The key assumptions and valuation method are described below. The directors believe that adequate provision has been made for future liabilities. Media24 Limited and Via Afrika Limited entered into agreements during the year ended 31 March 2004 with certain employees to terminate their future participation in the post- retirement medical aid benefits plan, in exchange for certain future contributions to endowment policies for these employees. The endowment policy asset amounted to R54,8m at 31 March 2009 and has matured during the year ended 31 March 2010. Key assumptions and valuation method The actuarial valuation method used to value the liabilities is the projected unit credit method prescribed by IAS 19. Future benefits valued are projected using specific actuarial assumptions and the liability for in-service members is accrued over the expected working lifetime. The most significant actuarial assumptions used for the current and previous valuations are outlined below: Discount rate Healthcare cost inflation Average retirement age Membership discontinued at retirement 31 March 2011 31 March 2010 8,3% 7,3% 60 0% 10,2% 9,2% 60 0% 70 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 17. POST-RETIREMENT LIABILITIES (continued) 17.1 Medical liability (continued) Key assumptions and valuation method (continued) We assumed that current in-service members would retire on their current medical scheme option and that there would be no change in options at retirement. Actuarial assumptions are generally more suited to the estimation of the future experience of larger groups of individuals. The overall experience of larger groups is less variable and is more likely to tend to the expected value of the underlying statistical distribution. The smaller the group size, the less likely it is that the actual future experience will be close to that expected. Furthermore, note that even if the assumptions are appropriate for the group overall, they may not be appropriate at an individual level.

POST-RETIREMENT LIABILITIES (continued) 17.1 Medical liability (continued) As the value of the liability is based on a number of assumptions, a sensitivity analysis is presented below to show the effect of a one-percentage point decrease or increase in the rate of healthcare cost inflation: Healthcare cost inflation Assumption 7,3% Accrued liability 31 March 2011 (R’m) % change Current service cost + interest cost 2011/12 (R’m) % change 180 — 15 — (1%) 176 (2,2%) 15 (0,1%) + 1% 184 +2,2% 16 +6,7% 17.2 Pension and provident benefits The group provides retirement benefits for its full-time employees by way of various separate defined contribution pension and provident funds. All full-time employees have access to these funds. Contributions to these funds are paid on a fixed scale. The South African retirement funds of the group are governed by the Pension Funds Act of South Africa. Substantially all the group’s full-time employees are members of either one of the group’s retirement benefit plans or a third-party plan. An amount of R306,7m (2010: R279,4m) was recognised as an expense in relation to the group’s retirement funds. 18.

PROVISIONS (continued) Further details describing the provisions at 31 March 2011 are included below: The group recognises the estimated liability on all products still under warranty at the statement of financial position date. Included in warranties are Irdeto’s 12-month warranty on all hardware provided as well as warranties for possible taxes payable. The group is currently involved in various litigation matters. The litigation provision has been made based on legal counsel and management’s estimates of costs and possible claims relating to these actions (refer to note 21). The provision for onerous contracts relates to compensation for early termination of a contract with a business partner, as well as obligations that the group has in terms of lease agreements, but the premises have been vacated. The group is liable for the rent under these contracts. The obligation will be settled over the remaining lease periods. The provision for ad valorem duties relates to an investigation by tax authorities into the value ascribed to digital satellite decoders purchased for onward sale to major retailers. The provision was raised for the payment of these duties. The provision for decommissioning relates to the estimated costs of decommissioning rented buildings. The lease agreements require that we return the rented buildings in the original state. The provision for long service and retirement gratuity relates to the estimated cost of these employee benefits. 20.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The group is subject to commitments and contingencies, that occur in the normal course of business, including legal proceedings and claims that cover a wide range of matters. The group plans to fund these commitments and contingencies out of existing loan facilities and internally generated funds. (a) Capital expenditure Commitments in respect of contracts placed for capital expenditure at 31 March 2011 amounted to R401,1m (2010: R526,6m). (b) Programme and film rights At 31 March 2011 the group had entered into contracts for the purchase of programme and film rights. The group’s commitments in respect of these contracts amounted to R7,7bn (2010: R8,7bn). (c) Transponder leases During the year ended 31 March 2011 the group entered into new leasing contracts for new and an increased number of satellite transponders. The commitment outstanding as at 31 March 2011 amounted to R6,8bn (2010: R7,7bn). (d) Set-top boxes At 31 March 2011 the group had entered into contracts for the purchase of set-top boxes (decoders). The group’s commitments in respect of these contracts amounted to R468,7m (2010: R358,7m). (e) Other commitments At 31 March 2011 the group had entered into contracts for the receipt of various services. These service contracts are for the receipt of advertising, satellite and DVB-H broadcast capacity, computer and decoder support services, access to networks and contractual relationships with customers, suppliers and employees.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) (g) Litigation claims MultiChoice South Africa (MCSA)/South African Revenue Services (SARS) MCSA instituted legal proceedings against SARS in relation to the ad valorem tariff determination on decoders, which SARS made in 2004. The proceedings were defended by SARS, but when the matter went to court the High Court found in MCSA’s favour. SARS thereafter appealed to the Supreme Court of Appeal which, in February 2011, overturned the decision of the High Court and found in SARS’s favour. MIH Germany MIH Germany B.V. and Myriad International Holdings B.V. ((cid:2130)MIH Germany”) were involved in an arbitration in Germany. The dispute was governed by the arbitration rules of the German institution for arbitration (DIS Rules) and was covered by an express confidentiality ruling by the arbitration tribunal in question. An oral hearing took place from 12 to 14 October 2009. The parties then exchanged written post-hearing submissions on 18 December 2009 and statements of their respective fees and costs in January 2010. The arbitration tribunal issued its award on 8 June 2010. In the award it dismissed the claimant’s claim and ordered it to pay a substantial portion of MIH Germany’s legal costs and fees. Eyeball Networks Inc. (“Eyeball”)/Gadu-Gadu S.A. (“Gadu-Gadu”) On 19 May 2008 Gadu-Gadu was served with a claim for US$22,2m filed against it by Eyeball in a court in British Columbia, Canada. The claim arose from a master software licence agreement entered into on 23 March 2005 pursuant to which Gadu-Gadu acquired a licence to use some of Eyeball’s products. The licence terminated no later than 9 November 2006 and Eyeball alleges that Gadu-Gadu continued to use Eyeball’s products and that it is therefore entitled to claim the full amount of the licence fees that would have been payable based on its current standard pricing. Gadu-Gadu denies that it used Eyeball’s products after the date of termination, and accordingly, that it owes any licence fees to Eyeball and is defending the claim. Gadu-Gadu also filed a counterclaim against Eyeball and SalesManager Software Sp z o.o., Eyeball’s representative in Poland, for damages and loss arising from the wrongful breach and repudiation of the transaction agreements and their failure to perform the obligations under the transaction agreements. The pleadings have been filed and lists of documents have been exchanged by Gadu-Gadu and Eyeball. Examinations for discovery have not yet been held. The trial was originally set down for hearing on 15 November 2010, but at the request of Eyeball the hearing was postponed to October 2011. Taxation matters The group operates a number of businesses in jurisdictions where withholding taxes are payable on certain transactions or payments. In some circumstances transactions could possibly lead to withholding taxes being payable. We continue to seek relevant advice and work with our advisors to identify and quantify such tax exposures. Our current assessment of possible withholding tax exposures, including interest and potential penalties amounts to approximately R546,8m (US$80,8m) (2010: R229,6m (US$31,3m)). Paarl Print fire On 17 April 2009 a fire destroyed the premises of Paarl Print (Proprietary) Limited in Paarl and claimed the lives of 13 people. A formal inquiry in terms of section 32 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act No 85 of 1993 (OHSA), was completed in June 2010. A report has been prepared in terms of section 32 of OHSA and based on information received from the Department of Labour it is anticipated that this report will be made available in the foreseeable future. Further information indicates that the report has been referred to the National Prosecuting Authority for further action. Once the report has been made available, it is possible that third parties may pursue civil claims against the company. Paarl Print’s exposure in this regard, after insurance reimbursement, is not expected to be material.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) (g) Litigation claims (continued) Gold Reef City/M-Net Akani Egoli (Proprietary) Limited instituted action in December 2005 against M-Net and Combined Artistic Productions in the High Court of South Africa for damages of R10,6m allegedly suffered by the plaintiff as a result of an alleged defamation in a television broadcast. On 15 February 2006 the defendants filed their plea and pleadings were closed. The matter was set down for a hearing in November 2007, but before the hearing the plaintiff requested defendants to agree to a postponement sine die, which they agreed to. Thereafter a new claim for more than R40m, arising from the same cause of action, was served on the defendants by Gold Reef City Theme Park. At the same time, the first claim by Akani Egoli was reduced. The claims were consolidated and amounted to approximately R47m. A hearing of the matter took place in the High Court in August/September 2010. Judgement was delivered in February 2011 in favour of the claimants and the defendants are appealing to the SCA. The High Court decision dealt only with liability, not with the quantum of damages. (h) Guarantees At 31 March 2011 the group had provided guarantees of R2,0bn (2010: R1,2bn) mainly in respect of bank guarantees for sport rights, office rental, services and other contracts. (i) Assets pledged as security The group pledged property, plant and equipment, investments, cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable with a net carrying value of R2,2bn at 31 March 2011 (2010: R4,6bn) to a number of banks as security for certain bank overdrafts and term loans listed in note 18 to the value of R2,2bn (2010: R2,1bn). 22.

SEGMENT INFORMATION 190 2 192 102 25 127 IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decisionmaker (CODM) in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. The chief operating decisionmaker has been identified as the executive committee that makes strategic decisions. The group proportionally consolidates its share of the results of its associated companies in the various reportable segments. This is considered to be more reflective of the economic value of these investments. The group has identified its operating segments based on its business by service or product and aggregated them into the following reporting segments: pay television, internet (with Tencent being disclosed separately from the other internet operations), technology and print. Below are the types of services and products from which each segment generates revenue: (cid:96) Pay television – the group offers digital satellite and other pay television services to subscribers through MultiChoice South Africa and MultiChoice Africa in the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. (cid:96) Internet – the group operates internet platforms to provide various services and products. These platforms are built around communities, and each of them provides various services, including e-commerce, games, MVAS and IVAS (mobile and internet value-added services), content, communication and social networking. These services are provided via mobile or PC/laptops. The main platforms are Tencent, Allegro, Ricardo, Mail.ru Group, BuscaPé, Sanook!, ibibo, Movile, Gadu-Gadu, Nimbuzz, MXit, OLX and Level Up!. (cid:96) Technology – through Irdeto, the group provides digital content management and protection systems to customers globally to protect, manage and monetise all digital media on any platform.

Included in the segment assets above is R6,6bn attributable to Brazil, R7,9bn attributable to China, R6,8bn attributable to Poland and R9,4bn attributable to Russia. These are the only significant foreign countries contributing more than 10% of the group’s segment assets for the year ended 31 March 2011 and relate mainly to the investments in associates. Revenue is allocated to a country based on the location of subscribers or users. 38. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Financial risk factors The group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest risk, cash flow interest risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. These include the effects of changes in debt and equity markets, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The group’s overall risk management programme seeks to minimise the potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the group. The group uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps, to hedge certain risk exposures. The group does not speculate with or engage in the trading of financial instruments. The group had no significant price risk for the years ending 31 March 2011 and 31 March 2010. Risk management is carried out by the management of the group under policies approved by the board of directors and its risk management committee. Management identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks. The various boards of directors within the group provide written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of derivative instruments and the investment of excess liquidity. NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 95 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 38. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Foreign exchange risk The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk. Although a substantial portion of the group’s revenue is denominated in the currencies of the countries in which it operates, a significant portion of cash obligations, including satellite transponder leases and contracts for pay-television programming, are denominated in US dollars. Where the group’s revenue is denominated in local currency depreciation of the local currency against the US dollar adversely affects the group’s earnings and its ability to meet cash obligations. Some entities in the group use forward exchange contracts to hedge their exposure to foreign currency risk in connection with their obligations. Management may hedge the net position in the major foreign currencies by using forward currency contracts. The group generally covers forward 50% to 100% of firm commitments in foreign currency for up to two years in the pay-television business. The group also uses forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure in its print business where cover is generally taken for 75% to 100% of firm commitments in foreign currency for up to one year. The group has classified its forward exchange contracts relating to forecast transactions and firm commitments as cash flow and fair value hedges, and measures them at fair value. The transactions relate mainly to programming costs, transponder lease instalments and the acquisition of inventory items. A cumulative after-tax loss of R297,4m (2010: R407,7m after-tax loss) has been deferred in a hedging reserve at 31 March 2011. This amount is expected to realise over the next two years. The fair value of all forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges at 31 March 2011 was a net liability of R462,9m (2010: net liability of R527,9m), comprising assets of R9,0m (2010: Rnil) and liabilities of R471,9m (2010: R527,9m), that were recognised as derivative financial instruments. The fair value of all forward exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges at 31 March 2011 was a liability of R133,9m (2010: liability of R195,4m). During the year ended 31 March 2011 the group recognised gains on fair value hedges of R23,7m (2010: R187,4m) and losses of R62,7m (2010: R209,8m) on the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks. The amount recognised in the income statement due to the ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges was R41,2m (2010: R123,0m). As at 31 March 2011 the group had no hedges of net investments in foreign operations. 96 NASPERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 STATUTORY REPORTS CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPANY ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CORPORATE INFORMATION Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements (continued) 38.

As at 31 March 2011 the group had a net cash balance of R7,4bn (2010: R5,8bn), of which R3,2bn (2010: R3,2bn) was held in South Africa. The R4,2bn (2010: R2,6bn) held offshore was largely denominated in US dollar, euro and Polish zloty. Foreign currency sensitivity analysis The group’s presentation currency is the South African rand, but as it operates internationally, it is exposed to a number of currencies, of which the exposure to the US dollar, euro and Polish zloty is the most significant. The group is also exposed to the Chinese yuan renminbi and Brazil real but to a lesser extent. The sensitivity analysis below details the group’s sensitivity to a 10% decrease (2010: 10% decrease) in the rand against the US dollar, euro and Polish zloty, as well as a 10% decrease (2010: 10% decrease) of the US dollar against the euro, as well as a 10% decrease (2010: 10% decrease) of the euro against the Polish zloty. This analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period-end for the above percentage change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans, as well as loans to foreign operations within the group, but excludes loans considered part of the net foreign investment and translation differences due to translating from functional currency to presentation currency. A 10% decrease (2010: 10% decrease) of the rand against the US dollar, euro and Polish zloty, a 10% decrease (2010: 10% decrease) of the US dollar against the euro, and a 10% decrease (2010: 10% decrease) of the euro against the Polish zloty, would result in an after-tax gain of R160,3m (2010: R103,9m after-tax gain). Other equity would increase by R329,5m (2010: R213,0m increase).

Shareholder agreements are in place, which regulate the shares held by Welkom Yizani and Phuthuma Nathi, and management monitors the credit risk regularly. Trade receivables Receivables consist primarily of invoiced amounts from normal trading activities. The group has a large diversified customer base across many geographical areas. The majority of trade receivables consist of receivables within the pay-television, newspapers, magazines and printing segments. Various credit checks are performed on new debtors to determine the quality of their credit history. These checks are also performed on existing debtors with long-overdue accounts. Furthermore, current debtors are monitored to ensure they do not exceed their credit limits. As at 31 March 2011 the directors were unaware of any significant unprovided or uninsured concentration of credit risk. Other receivables There is no concentration of credit risk within other receivables, except for the accrued preference share dividends relating to the preference share investments, as disclosed above, and the promissory notes. The level of interest in related party receivables minimises the credit risk. Cash, deposits and derivative assets The group is exposed to certain concentrations of credit risk relating to its cash, current investments and derivative assets. It places these instruments mainly with major banking groups and high-quality institutions that have high credit ratings. The group’s treasury policy is designed to limit exposure to any one institution and invests its excess cash in low-risk investment accounts. As at 31 March 2011 the group held the majority of its cash, deposits and derivative assets with local and international banks with a ‘Baa1’ credit rating or higher (Moody’s International rating). The counterparties that are used by the group are evaluated on a continuous basis.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Interest rate risk As part of the process of managing the group’s fixed and floating borrowings mix, the interest rate characteristics of new borrowings and the refinancing of existing borrowings are positioned according to expected movements in interest rates. Where appropriate, the group uses derivative instruments, such as interest rate swap agreements, purely for hedging purposes. The fair value of these instruments will not change significantly as a result of changes in interest rates due to their short-term nature and the floating interest rates. As at 31 March 2011 the group had the following interest rate swaps in place: Institution Rand Merchant Bank Rand Merchant Bank Investec Fair value of liability R’m Loan amount R’m Rate of loan % Rate of swap — (8) (7) (15) 8 250 250 7,43 9,80 11,00 3-month average JIBAR with cap of 12,42% 3-month average JIBAR with cap of 9,80% 3-month average JIBAR with cap of 12,3% and floor of 11,2% Please refer to note 18 for the interest rate profile and repayment terms of long-term liabilities as at 31 March 2011 and 31 March 2010. Interest rate sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the statement of financial position date (after taking into account the effect of hedging) and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the next financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. The group is mainly exposed to interest rate fluctuations of the South African, American and European repo rates. The following changes in the repo rates represent management’s best estimate of the possible change in interest rates at the respective year-ends: (cid:96) South African repo rate: increases by 100 basis points (2010: increased by 100 basis points) (cid:96) American, European and London Interbank Rates: increases by 100 basis points each (2010: increased by 100 basis points each) If interest rates changes as stipulated above and all other variables were held constant, specifically foreign exchange rates, the group’s profit after tax for the year ended 31 March 2011 would increase by R4,2m (2010: increased by R23,2m). Other equity would remain unchanged (2010: remained unchanged).

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) The fair value of financial instruments was calculated using market information and other relevant valuation techniques, and does not necessarily represent the values that the group will realise in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, bank overdrafts, receivables and payables are deemed to reflect fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The fair values of forward exchange contracts and other derivative instruments are based on quoted market prices, other prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, or valuation techniques that include unobservable inputs. The fair values of interest-bearing loans are calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest cash flows. The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable: (cid:96) Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. (cid:96) Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie as prices) or indirectly (ie derived from prices). (cid:96) Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Of this amount included in the income statement a loss of R85,6m (2010: a loss of R42,7m) was included in (cid:2130)Other finance income/(costs) – net”, a profit of R56,6m (2010: a loss of R5,3m) in (cid:2130)Other gains/(losses) – net”, and a loss of R12,6m (2010: a loss of R4,8m) in (cid:2130)Foreign exchange profits/(losses)”. If one or more of the inputs were changed to a reasonable possible alternative assumption, there would be no significant change in the fair value measurements of level 3 instruments.

An amount of R816m was due to the non-controlling shareholders on 31 March 2004. Some of these non-controlling shareholders have not surrendered their share certificates and claimed payment for their shares, therefore an amount of R13m was still outstanding as at 31 March 2011 (2010: R14m). 12.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Foreign exchange risk See note 38 of the consolidated financial statements for the group’s risks. Foreign currency sensitivity analysis The company’s presentation currency is the South African rand, but as it operates internationally, it is exposed to the US dollar and the euro. The sensitivity analysis below details the company’s sensitivity to a 10% decrease (2010: 10% decrease) in the rand against the US dollar and the euro. These percentage decreases represent management’s assessment of the possible changes in the foreign exchange rates at the respective year-ends. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period-end for the above percentage change in foreign currency rates.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Interest rate sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the statement of financial position date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the next financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. The company is mainly exposed to interest rate fluctuations of the South African, American and European repo rates. The following changes in the repo rates represent management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates at the respective year-ends: (cid:96) South African repo rate: increases by 100 basis points (2010: increases by 100 basis points) (cid:96) American, European and London Interbank Rates: increases by 100 basis points each (2010: increases by 100 basis points each). If interest rates change as stipulated above and all other variables were held constant, specifically foreign exchange rates, the company’s profit after tax for the year ended 31 March 2011 would increase by R12m (2010: increase by R11m). 20.
