Accordingly, a review of the financial results for the six months ended 31 August 2014 by management has indicated that the loss per share and headline loss per share are expected to decrease by more than 50% when compared to those reported for the previous corresponding period. At this time, Ansys is unable to quantify, with reasonable certainty, the expected headline loss per share or loss per share for the period. A further trading statement will be published once the Company has a greater degree of certainty with regards to its financial results for the six months ended 31 August 2014. The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by Ansys’ auditors. The Company’s financial results for the six months ended 31 August 2014 are expected to be released at the end of November 2014. 19 November 2014 Pretoria Designated Advisor Exchange Sponsors Date: 19/11/2014 11:00:00 Produced by the JSE SENS Department.
