    About Net1 (www.net1.com)

    Net1 provides its universal electronic payment system, or UEPS, as an
alternative payment system for the unbanked and under-banked populations
of developing economies. Net1's market-leading system enables the
estimated four billion people who generally have limited or no access to
a bank account, to enter affordably into electronic transactions with
each other, government agencies, employers, merchants and other financial
service providers. Net1's universal electronic payment system, or UEPS,
uses smart cards that operate in real-time but offline, unlike
traditional payment systems offered by major banking institutions that
require immediate access through a communications network to a
centralized computer. This offline capability means that users of the
Net1 system can enter into transactions at any time with other card
holders even in the most remote areas so long as a portable offline smart
card reader is available. In addition to payments and purchases, UEPS can
be used for banking, healthcare management, international money
transfers, voting and identification.

    Net1 also focuses on the development and provision of secure transaction
technology, solutions and services and offers transaction processing,
financial and clinical risk management solutions to both funders and
providers of healthcare. Its core competencies around secure online
transaction processing, cryptography and integrated circuit card
(chip/smartcard) technologies are principally applied to electronic
commerce transactions in the telecommunications, banking, retail,
petroleum and utilities market sectors.

    Net1 has a primary listing on the Nasdaq and a secondary listing on the
JSE Limited.
