The 600 Group PLC provided earning guidance for the year ended March 31, 2012 and year ending March 31, 2013. Group results for the year ended 31 March 2012 will be reported on the basis that the operations of 600SA represent a discontinued activity. The board anticipate that Group trading results for the year ended 31 March 2012, when reported on this basis, will be slightly ahead of the corresponding results for the year ended 31 March 2011 but profitability of both continuing and discontinued operations will be materially below market expectations. The Group results for the year ending 31 March 2013 will meet current market expectations.
