Automatic Systems Ltd
Automatic Systems Ltd is a public company incorporated in Mauritius in 1991 and listed on the Official Market of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius since 12 October 1994 under the ticker ASL.N0000 (ISIN MU0021N00009). Its registered office is c/o Box Office Ltd, 2nd Floor, Palm Square, 90906 La Mivoie, Tamarin, Mauritius, with an operating head office at Champ de Mars, Port Louis.
Automatic Systems Ltd operates a totalisator (Tote) betting system on horse races organised by the Mauritius Turf Club, marketed under the Supertote brand, and conducts fixed-odds betting on foreign football matches under the Superscore brand. Both activities are licensed under Mauritius’s Gambling Regulatory Authority Act 2007. Given its listed status and a shareholder base of more than 1,600 investors, the company is designated a public interest entity under the Financial Reporting Act 2004. It distributes betting through on-course, off-course and telephone/SMS channels across roughly two dozen outlets in Mauritius, supported by the supertote.mu and superscore.mu websites.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2025, Automatic Systems Ltd reported total turnover of approximately Rs 874.4 million, up from Rs 722.7 million in 2024, driven by a 73% rise in Tote turnover to Rs 334.6 million and a 130% rise in SMS betting turnover to Rs 86.1 million. The company recorded a loss after tax of approximately Rs 24.1 million, partly reflecting a goodwill impairment and a tax liability claim, and declared a dividend of Rs 2.00 per share. Active football-betting users rose to about 432,000 from 392,000 a year earlier. These figures are as reported in the company’s own published financial statements.
A Belgian manufacturer of pedestrian and vehicle access-control equipment also trades under the name "Automatic Systems" as part of the Bollore/IER group. Publicly available information indicates this is a separate, unrelated legal entity with no identified corporate or ownership link to the Mauritius company described here.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Automatic Systems Ltd
Automatic Systems Ltd is a public company listed on the Official Market of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius, with more than 1,600 shareholders as reported in its own disclosures. As a widely held listed entity, its share register is broader than that of a typical private Mauritius company. Sources reviewed for this profile, including the company’s investor relations pages and Stock Exchange of Mauritius filings, confirm the total shareholder count and listed status but do not enumerate the identities or percentage holdings of the company’s largest shareholders; that level of detail would typically appear in the substantial-shareholding disclosures within the company’s full annual report, which could not be retrieved in full text for this review. No indication was found that any single shareholder holds a controlling stake, but this cannot be confirmed or ruled out from the sources reviewed. Separately, the on-file registry note for this company states that shareholder information for domestic Mauritian companies is filed with CBRIS, while Global Business Corporations have more limited public disclosure; as a domestic public company listed on the SEM, Automatic Systems Ltd’s disclosure regime differs from that of a private GBC.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for Automatic Systems Ltd is Partial: the company’s status as a listed public interest entity with over 1,600 shareholders is confirmed, but a breakdown of major shareholders and their percentage holdings was not located in the sources accessible for this review.

Officers
Directors and officers of Automatic Systems Ltd
Automatic Systems Ltd’s official website lists a board of eleven current directors: Chairman M. L. Jean Hardy (Non-Executive), Executive Director J. O. Guillaume Hardy, Non-Executive Directors Sarah A. M. Heller, Ravindra Chetty S.C., John A. Stuart, Michel J. L. Nairac and Arvind Lall Dookun, and Independent Directors Mushtaq M. O. N. Oosman, Angelique Anne Coquet-Desvaux de Marigny and Virginie Audrey Lennon. Robert C. Y. F. Ah Yan holds the senior-management role of General Manager (referred to as Chief Executive Officer in some third-party sources). Third-party financial-data aggregators show board tenure dates ranging from the late 1990s through 2024, though these were not independently confirmed against a primary filing. No former or resigned officers are disclosed in the sources reviewed. Nationality is not disclosed for any director or officer in any source reviewed and has not been inferred from any name, residence or correspondence address. One third-party aggregator (Investing.com) lists Michel J. L. Nairac as Chairman since 2026, which conflicts with the chairmanship shown on the company’s own website; this discrepancy is unresolved and is flagged rather than adopted, since the official company website is treated as the more reliable source.

Officer disclosure for Automatic Systems Ltd is Current only: the company’s own website provides a current board and senior-management listing, but historical (resigned or former) officer records and independently verified appointment dates were not located in the sources reviewed.

Group Structure
Group structure of Automatic Systems Ltd
Automatic Systems Ltd is an independent, Stock-Exchange-of-Mauritius-listed company; no parent company was identified in the sources reviewed for this profile. The company’s own investor relations disclosures confirm one verified direct subsidiary, Megawin Ltd, described as wholly owned by Automatic Systems Ltd. Both Automatic Systems Ltd and Megawin Ltd receive corporate secretarial services from Box Office Ltd, a Mauritius-based corporate services provider; this is a service-provider arrangement rather than a shareholding or control relationship, so Box Office Ltd is not treated as a group entity on that basis. No evidence of any corporate, ownership or shareholding link was found between this Mauritius company and Automatic Systems, the similarly named Belgian manufacturer of pedestrian and vehicle access-control equipment (part of the Bollore/IER group); the two operate in unrelated industries, in different countries, and no primary source reviewed connects them. This is recorded as no relationship found rather than as a possible or historical relationship, since no shared registration, filing or ownership evidence of any kind was located.
