corresponding period.

Following the trading statement published on SENS on 8 June 2017, shareholders are advised that Advanced
Health expects to report a net loss after taxation attributable to the parent for the year ended 30 June 2017,
of R48.176 million compared to R18.311 million for the year ended 30 June 2016.

The loss per share will be 21.74 cents for the year ended 30 June 2017 compared to 8.26 cents per share for

The increase in losses are as anticipated and in accordance with the Company rolling out its known strategy
to become the leading provider of day hospitals in South Africa and Australia. In South Africa, the group now
consists of ten operational day hospitals and four in Australia. The company is starting to see an increase in
the number of patients treated and consequently turnover in both South Africa and Australia is increasing.

In July 2017, the Australian subsidiary of Advanced, Presmed Australia (PMA) acquired 100% of a one theatre
ophthalmic day hospital 25km north-west of Central Sydney. This is the fourth day hospital in the PMA group.
The acquired facility is accredited, licensed, has contracts with the major medical schemes and is well
positioned close to all ophthalmologists in the greater area. The acquisition is not categorisable in terms of
the JSE Listings Requirements.

The information in this trading statement has not been reviewed and reported on by the Company’s auditors.

The company’s results announcement for the year ended 30 June 2017 is expected to be published on or
