In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, 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 upon next will differ by at least 20% from the            
previous corresponding period.                                                  
Shareholders are advised that Ellies is currently finalising its results        
for the six months ended 31 October 2011 and expects that its earnings per      
share and headline earnings per share for the six months ended 31 October       
2011 will be at least 30% higher than earnings per share and headline           
earnings per share of the previous corresponding period.                        
There is not a reasonable degree of certainty at this stage as to the           
range, within 20%, by which the earnings per share and headline earnings        
per share will be higher than those of the previous corresponding period.       
More specific information, as required by the JSE Listings Requirements,        
will be provided to shareholders as soon as there is a reasonable degree of     
certainty.
