UCS group - trading statement

Johannesburg, 02 May 2007

Shareholders are advised that UCS expects to report revenue growth of 43.6% for the six months to 31 March 2007, compared to the same period last year.

The TSS Managed Services and Quadrant businesses acquired on 1 July 2006 are included in the results for the full six months for the first time.

Headline earnings per share are expected to be up by between 70% and 80% for the interim period ended 31 March 2007, compared to the same period last year, while earnings per share is expected to be between 90% and 100% higher.

The difference between the earnings per share and headline earnings per share relates predominantly to the once-off realisation of profits, net of minority interests, totalling some R6 million (2.4 cents per share) arising on the sale of the network business by UCS Solutions to Internet Solutions during the period under review.

Shareholders are also advised that the financial information provided in this trading statement in respect of the six month period ended 31 March 2007 has not been reviewed and/or reported on by the company's auditors. It is anticipated the results for the six month period ended 31 March 2007 will be published on or about 15 May 2007
