The 2015/ 2016 financial year saw much growth and<br />

change for the MyBucks group.<br />

We generated €38.9 million <strong>of</strong> revenue, issued €77.2 million<br />

in credit and more than 100 000 insurance policies, and<br />

obtained a depost taking license in Zimbabwe. We also<br />

increased equity to €19.5 million, and an additional €8.2<br />

million <strong>of</strong> debt was raised.<br />

Furthermore, we also moved our holding structure<br />

to Luxembourg and added three new strategic Board<br />

members.<br />

The months from October 2015 to June 2016 saw our<br />

management team and operational focus turn to the<br />

Opportunity International transaction, which we as a group<br />

knew would be a game changer by allowing MyBucks far<br />

greater access to funding in local currencies, significantly<br />

assisting our enhanced consumer base and <strong>of</strong>fering a vastly<br />

wider degree <strong>of</strong> financial inclusion services.<br />

The partnership is truly revolutionary. It has enabled usto<br />

acquire two additional Banking licenses, two MFI's and<br />

expanded our operation into three additional territories,<br />

namely Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda after the<br />

financial year end 30 June.<br />

The due diligence and deep understanding <strong>of</strong> these<br />

countries took time and resources.<br />

Nonetheless, as the financial year was closing we completed<br />

our listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and raised<br />

€13.5 million <strong>of</strong> equity, placing the market valuation at<br />

€148 million*.<br />

directly benefitted the financial services we <strong>of</strong>fer, those we continue to shape<br />

and revitalise as technology advances.
