BUSINESS AND GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS
BUSINESS SEGMENTS

For management purposes, the group is currently organised into six operating divisions: Office systems (Nashua Office Automation and RC&C Finance Company), Consumer products and services (Nashua Mobile, Panasonic and SACO Systems), Telecommunications, Reutech, Low-voltage electrical (CBI), and Cables (African Cables and ATC). The group overview on pages 8 to 17 gives details of the activities of each division.

These divisions are the basis on which the group reports its primary business segments.

Segment information about these businesses is presented below.

The group's operations are situated mostly in South Africa, with only immaterial operations situated in the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States of America. It is therefore not considered meaningful to disclose information on geographic segments according to location of operation.
