TRADING UPDATE                                                                  
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited ("JSE"), companies     
are required to publish a trading statement as soon as they are satisfied that  
a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the      
period to be reported on will differ by 20% or more from the financial results  
for the previous corresponding period.                                          
Shareholders are advised that Ansys is currently finalising its interim         
results for the six months ended 31 August 2009 and it is expected that Ansys`  
earnings and headline earnings per share will be a loss of between 0.7 cents    
and 1.7 cents per share, which represents an improvement from the prior year`s  
interim results of between 65% and 85%. The financial information on which      
this trading statement is based has not been reviewed by Ansys` auditors.       
Ansys specialises in the design and integration of monitoring and control       
systems for the transport, industrial and defence sectors, with most of its     
revenue obtained through the tender process.  As a result of the usual delay    
in the award of tenders in the first half of the year, project revenue is also  
expected to be higher in the second half of the financial year than in the      
first half.                                                                     
The interim results for the six months ended 31 August 2009 are expected to be  
published on SENS on 03 November 2009.
