"FROM THE CHAIRMAN’S DESK

I would like to inform you that Laurentius Human has beenappointed CEO of Inala with effect from
1 June 2010. He will replace Braam de Villiers, whom we are delighted has agreed to remain part of the Inala team and continue to help develop the company’s international business interests while he pursues his own business interest outside of Inala.

As you may know, Braam de Villiers was one of the original founders of Inala 14 years ago and has very ably headed the business as CEO and Executive Director for the past 8 years. He has helped build it into a top 100 company and one of Africa’s leading Telecommunications and Broadcast
systems providers.

We would all like to thank Braam for his vision, dedication and past service to Inala as CEO.
We appreciate the fact that he will remain active in the business for the foreseeable future and are fully supportive of his desires to broaden his business interests beyond our company too.

I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Laurentius, a former executive director of Inala into his new position as CEO. He has the full support of the board and staff and we look forward to an
exciting future for Inala under his leadership.

Laurentius brings a wealth of local and international business experience and has previously served on the boards of listed companies in both Canada and SA. He will provide global stewardship to Inala through the next phase of its growth and international expansion.

Laurentius has asked me to share with you his appreciation for the confidence the company has shown in him as well as his excitement for the challenges ahead. We have no doubt he will ably steer the company through its next growth phase and develop exciting business opportunities for Inala globally.

I look forward to be working closely with the Inala Team over the coming years to realize this potential and wish Braam well for the future.
