Trading Statement and Cautionary 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 AND CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT Altech is currently finalising its results for the financial period ended 31 August 2012 and shareholders are advised that the company’s headline earnings and adjusted headline earnings per share are expected to be between 18% and 25% lower than the corresponding figures for the financial period ending 31 August 2011 (“the previous financial period”). These reductions are primarily due to continued poor results in Altech’s East and West African operations. The remaining operations within Altech are performing satisfactorily. In addition, due to the impairments in respect of Altech’s East and West African operations, reflecting their poor results, the company’s basic earnings per share are expected to show a loss of between 303 cents and 310 cents, compared to a profit of 141 cents in the previous comparable financial period. The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by Altech’s external auditor. Shareholders are advised that the company has entered into negotiations, which if successfully concluded may have a material effect on the price of the company’s securities. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s securities until a further announcement is made. The results for the period ended 31 August 2012 are expected to be published on or about 26 September 2012.
