ALT - Allied Technologies Limited - Trading Statement Allied Technologies Limited Member of the Altron Group Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (Registration number: 1946/020415/06) Share code: ALT ISIN number: ZAE000015251 ("Altech" or "the company") TRADING STATEMENT In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, companies are required to publish a Trading Statement as soon as they become reasonably certain that the financial results for the period to be reported on next will differ by more than 20% from those of the previous corresponding period. Altech is currently finalising its results for the financial year ended 28 February 2011 and shareholders are advised as follows - * the company`s headline earnings and adjusted headline earnings per share are expected to decrease by between 11% and 16%, compared to that of the prior financial year; and * the company`s basic earnings per share are expected to be 55% to 65% lower than that of the prior year. As indicated in the voluntary business update published on SENS on 10 December 2011, trading conditions in certain of Altech`s subsidiaries have been negatively affected by adverse global and local economic conditions, as well as currency volatility factors. However, the second six months of the group`s financial year ended 28 February 2011 showed some improvement on the first six months. The reduction in basic earnings per share is mainly attributable to impairments of goodwill, principally in respect of Altech`s East African operations, reflecting their current reduced profit levels due to both the trading factors referred to above and certain once-off costs which were incurred during the financial year. The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by Altech`s auditors. The results for the year ended 28 February 2011 are expected to be published on SENS on 20 April 2011.
