trading conditions in the South African poultry industry, the Company expects

and 45 cents lower than the 65 cents per share for the year ended 30 June 2009  
and that headline earnings per share for the year ended 30 June 2010 will be    
between 28 and 33 cents lower than the 57 cents per share for the year ended 30 
June 2009.                                                                      
Adjusted earnings per share, after removing the affect of non-recurring items   
such as the fair value adjustments on the Sovereign Foods investment, will be   
between 15 and 20 cents lower than the 47 cents per share for the previous year.
