Trading Statement and Change in Year End BEIGE HOLDINGS LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number 1997/006871/06) (“Beige” or “the company”) ISIN Code: ZAE 000034161 Share code: BEG TRADING STATEMENT AND CHANGE IN YEAR END In terms of paragraph 3.4 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 on will differ at least 20% or more from the financial results for the previous corresponding period. It should be noted that Beige has changed its year end from 31 March to 30 June each year and is accordingly preparing audited financial statements for a three month period ended 30 June 2012, in order to align its year end with that of the new controlling shareholder. Thus, whilst not strictly comparable, the company is required to issue a trading statement for the three month period ended 30 June 2012 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2012. Accordingly, shareholders are advised that for the three month period ended 30 June 2012, the loss per share is expected to reduce by between 80% to 90% showing an improved position and the headline loss per share is expected to move by between 180% to 190% from a headline earnings per share, compared to the prior year ended 31 March 2012. The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by the company’s auditors.
