VMK - Verimark Holdings Limited - Trading Update                                
VERIMARK HOLDINGS LIMITED                                                       
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)                                  
(Registration Number:  1998/006957/06)                                          
JSE Code:  VMK ISIN:  ZAE000068011                                              
("Verimark" or "the Company")                                                   
TRADING UPDATE                                                                  
In accordance with paragraph 3.4 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE        
Limited, a listed company is 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 next period to be reported on are likely to vary by   
more than 20% from the previous corresponding period.                           
As has been evident from the financial results reported for the last six months 
of the previous financial year, as well as the first six months of the current  
financial year, the Company is firmly back to profitability and this improved   
trend has continued to date. In addition, the Company made a loss for the first 
six months of the previous financial year, which materially depresses the base  
on which the growth for the current financial year is expressed.                
Accordingly, Verimark wishes to advise shareholders that the company expects an 
increase in the earnings per share ("EPS") and the headline earnings per share  
("HEPS") for the year ended 28 February 2011, of more than 20% compared to the  
EPS and HEPS reported on in the prior comparative period.                       
Once the Company has obtained a reasonable degree of certainty on the actual    
range of the increase in EPS and HEPS, a further trading statement will be      
released.                                                                       
The information in this trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on  
by Verimark`s auditors.
