Financial performance
overview
A Income
The total operating income of the CSIR
increased by 2.6% to an amount of
R1 723.6 million (2009/10:
R1 680 million). The CSIR Group’s
total operating income amounted to
R1 735.8 million (2009/10:
R1 697.5 million).
The Parliamentary Grant recognised
as income in 2010/11 amounted to
R535.3 million, an increase of 5.1%
from the prior year amount of R509.1
million.
The CSIR’s total Contract R&D income
increased marginally by 1.3% to
R1 175.1 million (2009/10:
R1 159.8 million). This includes
R64.9 million (2009/10: R99.5
million) ring-fenced funding from the
DST. The CSIR Group’s total Contract
R&D income increased to an amount
of R1 187.2 million (2009/10:
R1 176.8 million).
A strategy to increase income from
the South African private sector
resulted in growth of this income
stream of 28% from 2009/10.
Income from the South African private
sector amounted to R193.3 million
(2009/10: R151.3 million). The
CSIR’s continued alignment with
national strategic priorities ensured
that a significant part of the contract
income was received from the South
African public sector, amounting to
R820.7 million (2009/10: R848.8
million). International contract income
increased marginally due to the slow
economic recovery in international
markets. Contract income from the
international sector amounted to R161
million (2009/10: R159.6 million).
The continued investment in scientific
infrastructure and equipment remains
a priority to ensure that world-class
facilities and equipment are acquired
and maintained. Over the past four
financial years R572 million has
been invested in property, plant and
equipment.
