Trading statement                                                               
Super Group is scheduled to release its financial results for the six months    
ending 31 December 2011 on or about 21 February 2012.  In terms of the JSE      
Limited Listings Requirements, issuers 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 those of the prior comparative period.              
Although the uncertain global economic conditions continue to negatively impact 
the industry sectors in which Super Group operates, the Group has seen a firming
in sales volumes across all divisions. The improvement in sales and the         
continued stringent control of costs have resulted in a satisfactory improvement
of earnings for the period.                                                     
Shareholders are advised that Super Group is expecting to report a consolidated 
net profit after taxation for the six months ending 31 December 2011 of between 
R256 million and R271 million, resulting in earnings per share ("EPS") of       
between 7.5 cents and 8.0 cents, and a headline earnings per share ("HEPS") of  
between 7.5 cents and 8.0 cents. This compares with a consolidated net profit   
after taxation of R171.6 million which equates to an EPS of 4.7 cents and HEPS  
of 4.7 cents for six months ended 31 December 2010.                             
The Group will not, as was done for the year ended 30 June 2011, report         
separately on Discontinued Operations for the 2012 interims and year end, since 
this number has become insignificant in relation to overall Group results.
