TRADING STATEMENT AND APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD


Trading Statement

In terms of the Listings Requirements of 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 will
differ by more than 20% from that of the previous corresponding period.

Accordingly, a review of the financial results for the year ended 31 July 2012 by management has indicated
that the loss per share and the headline loss per share are expected to be between 17.1 and 17.4 cents,
respectively compared to the loss and headline loss per share of 1.7 cents for the year ended 31 July 2011.

The 2012 results largely reflect the Group’s position before extensive restructuring which began in the
second half of the financial year, including management changes at SecureData Africa and the sale of
SecureData Europe.

In SecureData Africa, the focus is on revenue generation through the building of strong partner and vendor
relationships whilst at the same time containing costs. The restructuring, which is nearly complete, is
designed to return the division to profitability in the current financial year. SensePost continued to contribute
to Group profits.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by
SecureData’s auditors. SecureData's financial results are expected to be released on SENS on or about 24
October 2012 wherein further information will be provided.
