TRADING STATEMENT
JSE is currently finalising its interim results for the six month period ended
30 June 2007, which should be released on 14 August 2007. Shareholders are
advised that the consolidated revenue of the JSE for the period is expected to
be between 27% and 35% higher than for the same period last year.
Consolidated earnings per share for the same period are expected to be between
53% and 61% lower, with headline earnings per share being between 59% and 67%
lower than for the comparable period last year, mainly as a result of the
following:
- the final issue of shares at par value to the JSE Empowerment Fund (JEF),
amounting to approximately R30 million. The actual impact of this on cash
flow is insignificant;
- the second tranche of options issued to qualifying black shareholders in
terms of the Black Shareholder Retention Scheme, amounting to
approximately R53 million. The actual current impact of this on cash flow
is zero. There will be a positive impact on cash flow when the options
are exercised in 2011;
- the valuation of the Employee Scheme for the six month period, amounting
to approximately R47 million. The actual current impact of this on cash
flow is zero. The Employee Scheme will have an impact on cash flow in
2009, 2010 and 2011;
- in the comparable period, there was a non-recurring receipt from the
insurers in the JSE Guarantee Fund Trust of R26 million.
Shareholders are reminded that, although the JSE Guarantee Fund Trust and the
JSE Derivative Fidelity Fund Trust are consolidated in compliance with IFRS,
they are legally separate from the JSE and neither the JSE nor its
shareholders have any right to the net assets of such trusts.
Shareholders are advised that the information provided in this trading
statement has not been reviewed and reported on by the JSE`s auditors.
