TRADING UPDATE
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited ("JSE"), companies
are required to publish a trading statement as soon as they are satisfied that
a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the
period to be reported on will differ by 20% or more from the financial results
for the previous corresponding period.
Shareholders are advised that Ansys is currently finalising its interim
results for the six months ended 31 August 2009 and it is expected that Ansys`
earnings and headline earnings per share will be a loss of between 0.7 cents
and 1.7 cents per share, which represents an improvement from the prior year`s
interim results of between 65% and 85%. The financial information on which
this trading statement is based has not been reviewed by Ansys` auditors.
Ansys specialises in the design and integration of monitoring and control
systems for the transport, industrial and defence sectors, with most of its
revenue obtained through the tender process. As a result of the usual delay
in the award of tenders in the first half of the year, project revenue is also
expected to be higher in the second half of the financial year than in the
first half.
The interim results for the six months ended 31 August 2009 are expected to be
published on SENS on 03 November 2009.
