Initial Trading Statement

LABAT AFRICA LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 1986/001616/06)
(“Labat” or “the Company”)
ISIN Code: ZAE 000018354 Share code: LAB

INITIAL TRADING STATEMENT


In terms of paragraph 3.4(b)(i) of the Listings Requirements of the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange, listed companies are required to publish a trading statement as soon as they
become reasonably certain that the financial results for the next period to be reported
on will be more than 20% different from those of the previous corresponding period or
from a profit forecast previously provided to the market in relation to such period.

Shareholders are reminded that Labat changed its year-end from February to August last
year and so reported on a 6 month period ended 31 August 2015, which was also the first
six months of trading for that financial year. Accordingly, the first six months for the
period ending 29 February 2016 will be compared to the six months ended 31 August
2015 (“Comparative Period”) for purposes of this trading update.

As announced on SENS on 8 January 2016, the Company has now concluded the
acquisition of Reinhardt Transport Group Proprietary Limited.

Accordingly, it is expected that the company will report substantially improved results for
the six months ending 29 February 2016 by more than 100% compared to the
Comparative Period, moving from a loss to a profit as the results of RTG will be
consolidated for a portion of this six month period once the date of control in
accordance with IFRS has been determined. However, the range cannot yet be
identified.

The above information is intended to be an initial trading statement and is subject to
change once the Company is closer to finalising its results for the six months ending
28 February 2016, where after a further trading statement will be issued.

The financial information, on which this trading statement is based, has not been
reviewed or reported on by the Company’s auditors.
