TRADING UPDATE
In terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, a company
is required to publish a trading statement as soon as it has a
reasonable degree of certainty that the financial results for
the current reporting period will be more than 20% different
than that of the previous corresponding period.
In light of above, shareholders are hereby advised that Blue
expects earnings per share (“EPS”) and headline earnings per
share (“HEPS”) for the twelve months ended 28 February 2013 to
be at least 20% lower than the prior comparative period.
Once the board has obtained further certainty as to the extent
or range of the expected decrease in EPS and HEPS, a further
trading update will be published on the Securities Exchange
News Service of the JSE Limited.
The financial information contained in this trading update has
not been reviewed or reported on by Blue’s independent
auditors.
Shareholders are further advised that the audited results for
the year ended 28 February 2013 are not expected to be
released on SENS before 31 May 2013.
