                                         2. Summary of revenue streams



                   1.  Wholesale electricity
                       A2Pay is one of six wholesale licence holders with Eskom. A2Pay currently only vends for 2% of the
                       South African Eskom Prepaid market and there is a major opportunity to grow this over the next 3
                       years.

                   2.  The following revenue streams apply to the base:

                   2.1  Value-Added Services (VAS) provides a solid platform for the business. This includes prepaid Airtime,
                       Electricity, National Lottery, DSTV payments, Hollywood Bets, Bus tickets. WIFI, Business Services and
                       starter packs (Rica). A2Pay shares these margins with the merchant who pre-funds his wallet with
                       A2Pay at convenient top up points.

                   2.2  The use of the transactional data we receive from merchants via the POS system. This means that
                       A2Pay receives all transactional data including stock items purchased, stock holding, items sold,
                       contributions of items sold, average selling and cost prices, basket composition and general sales
                       trends (dates and times).
                       Revenue streams include the sale of data, direct advertising opportunities for FMCG suppliers and the
                       immense opportunity presented by bulk purchasing/wholesaling of these product to the A2Pay
                       network of stores.

                   2.3  Financial Inclusion/Unsecured Lending. It is acknowledged that financial inclusion is a prerequisite for
                       the success of the informal sector. A2Pay Financial Services (AFS) is supported by the SASME Fund
                       who have provided AFS with R25 million at 2% below prime for loans to Spaza shops with a promise
                       of more funding. A2Pay’s close relationships with merchants and the data which the business
                       receives, places AFS in a unique position to service this market. In addition to being an exceptionally
                       lucrative business, It has many positive spin-offs for both the merchant and A2Pay. If the bulk
                       purchasing concept is considered, A2Pay can provide the loan via the merchant’s wallet, receive and
                       process merchant stock order, place the order with a wholesaler/ supplier, arrange delivery and make
                       payment on the merchant’s behalf (cashless). In time A2Pay could occupy the wholesale space
                       themselves. Both A2Pay (service fees/rebates) and the merchant (through more competitive pricing)
                       stand to gain. Such a service will bond the merchant to the A2Pay network.

                   2.4  Sale of ancillary products. There is an opportunity to supply the network with a variety of useful,
                       profit generating products such as WIFI, printers/copiers and integrated credit card solutions. The
                       loan business supports the supply of these products which both offer good returns to qualifying
                       merchants and to A2Pay. A2Pay is currently in discussions concerning the sale of funeral and other
                       prepaid insurance products via their network of stores.

                   2.5  The commercial market. There is also room to sell A2Pay’s products to the commercial market. For
                       example, the POS system is seen to offer excellent value to a tavern/liquor retailer (who fall outside
                       of the Jobs Fund criteria).

                   2.6  Social welfare pay-outs. Plans to handle social welfare pay-outs are in the pipeline and A2Pay’s
                       founder’s experience in this market is a valuable asset.
