Metrofile Holdings Limited
Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa
(Registration number 1983/012697/06)
Share code: MFL
ISIN: ZAE000061727
("Metrofile Holdings")
TRADING STATEMENT
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, shareholders are
advised that Metrofile Holdings` headline earnings per share ("HEPS") and
earnings per share ("EPS") are expected to be approximately 5,5 cents (2006: 9,4
cents) and 5,5 cents (2006: 9,5 cents) for the six months ended 31 December
2007.
Shareholders should note that the 2006 results were stated after accounting for
a number of once off items and were also affected by the weighted average number
of shares issued during the period. To assist shareholders, it has been
calculated that if the refinancing and issue of new shares had taken place on 1
July 2006, and if there had been no exceptional items, capital gains, reversal
of tax provisions or interest on provisions for claims still unresolved, then
HEPS and EPS on the full number of shares now in issue would have been 3,5 cents
for the six month period ended 31 December 2006.
Accordingly, the 2007 interim HEPS of 5,5 cents per share should be compared to
adjusted normalised HEPS of 3,5 cents per share for the same period in 2006.
These estimates have not been audited or reviewed. Unaudited results are
expected to be published at the end of February 2008.
