Nictus Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended September 30, 2012. For the period, the company's headline earnings per share from continuing operations, is expected to be a loss of between 7 and 8 cents per share which is lower than the previous corresponding period's HEPS of 1.02 cents from continuing operations. Earnings per share are expected to be a loss of between 3 and 4 cents per share which is lower than the previous corresponding period's EPS of 19.24 cents.

The main reason for the reduction in HEPS and EPS from continuing operations is the costs incurred in the unbundling of the Nictus Group during the first six months. These costs amount more than ZAR 3 million. 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.
