SASOL LIMITED VOLUNTARY TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30
JUNE 2010
An overall improvement in market conditions, higher production
volumes and cost containment have benefited earnings for the
financial year ended 30 June 2010.
Shareholders are accordingly advised that headline earnings per
share (HEPS) for the year ended 30 June 2010 are expected to
increase by 0% to 8%, and earnings per share (EPS) are expected
to increase by 12% to 20% compared to the previous financial
year.
The difference between HEPS and EPS is attributable to the impact
of re-measurement items relating to the EGTL project in Nigeria
and other impairments which were included in the prior financial
year. Shareholders should also note the impact of significant
once off items included in the prior financial year as reflected
in the 2009 annual financial statements.
The Group remains strongly cash generative and maintains a
healthy balance sheet.
Sasol's financial results for the year ended 30 June 2010 will be
announced on Monday, 13 September 2010.
The financial information on which this trading statement is
based has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company's
external auditors.

Forward-looking statements: In this document we make certain
statements that are not historical facts and relate to analyses
and other information which are based on forecasts of future
results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These
statements may also relate to our future prospects, developments
and business strategies. Examples of such forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding
exchange rate fluctuations, volume growth, increases in market
share, total shareholder return and cost reductions.
Words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend",
“seek”, “will”, “plan”, “could”, “may”, “endeavour” and “project”
and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-
looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of
identifying such statements.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent
risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are
risks that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other
forward-looking statements will not be achieved. If one or more
of these risks materialise, or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from
those anticipated. You should understand that a number of
important factors could cause actual results to differ materially
from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and
intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These
factors are discussed more fully in our most recent annual report
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 20-F filed on 9
October 2009 and in other filings with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission. The list of factors discussed
therein is not exhaustive; when relying on forward-looking
statements to make investment decisions, you should carefully
consider both these factors and other uncertainties and events.
Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date on which
they are made, and we do not under take any obligation to update
or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
