In terms of the Listings Requirements of JSE Limited, companies are required to 
publish a trading statement as soon as they become reasonably certain that the  
financial results for the period to be reported on will differ by more than 20% 
from that of a forecast issued in relation to such period. Accordingly, a review
of the financial results for the year ended 30 June 2008 by management has      
indicated that earnings per share and headline earnings per share are expected  
to be between 20% and 40% lower than those in the forecast included in the      
prospectus issued on 26 June 2008.

reviewed or reported on by Poynting`s auditors.
