Trading Statement JOHN DANIEL HOLDINGS LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration Number 1998/013215/06) Share code: JDH ISIN: ZAE 000136677 (“the Company”) TRADING STATEMENT Further Improvement in Financial Results The Group results continue to reflect an improvement pursuant to the Group’s recapitalisation and restructure process as previously announced. In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, a listed company is required to publish a trading statement as soon as its board of directors (“board”) is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the next period to be reported on will vary by more than 20% from those of the previous corresponding period or from a profit forecast previously provided to the market in relation to such period. Accordingly, and following the previous trading statement published on 4 July 2013 which advised shareholders that the interim loss per share and headline loss per share for 30 June 2013 was expected to reduce by at least 20% compared to the interim results published for 31 March 2012, shareholders are now advised that the board is reasonably certain that both the loss per share and headline loss per share for the six month interim period ending 30 June 2013 (being the first six month period for the financial year ending 31 December 2013) will be reduced by between 75% and 95% compared to the published results for the comparable six months ended 31 March 2012. The expected improved range of 75% to 95% will result in a loss per share and headline loss per share of between (0.16) and (0.03) cents compared to the loss per share and headline loss per share of (0.62) cents reported for the 6 months ended 31 March 2012. The calculation of the loss per share and headline loss per share is based on 444 132 132 issued shares at 30 June 2013 (31 March 2012 – 440 405 505) and weighted average number of shares in issue of 444 132 211 (31 March 2012 – 366 353 491). The above information has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s auditors.
