TRADING STATEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005
Prism is in the process of finalising its results for the interim period ended
31 December 2005, which should be released on or around 2 February 2006. In this
regard, shareholders are advised that growth in earnings per share is likely to
range between 170% and 180% and growth in headline earnings per share is likely
to range between 60% and 70%.
The main factors which have favourably impacted the increase in earnings and
headline earnings per share are the continuation of the positive trading
performance, a cessation of goodwill impairment and the approximate 9% reduction
in the number of fully diluted weighted average shares in issue in comparison to
the comparable period in the previous year arising as a result of share
purchases carried out by the Staff Trust last year.
The forecast financial information on which this trading statement is based has
not been reviewed and reported on by the company"s auditors.
