period to be reported upon will differ by 20% or more from the financial results of the previous corresponding
period.

Shareholders of the PBT Group are advised that the results from continuing and discontinued operations are
expected to be as follows:

                                     cents   per   share   reflecting a
                                     decrease of between 97.9% and
                                     97.4% per share.

                                     cents   per   share   reflecting a
                                     decrease of between 97.9% and
                                     97.4% per share.

The decrease in earnings and headline earnings per share from continuing operations are attributable to
losses resulting from the downsizing of the Middle-East Africa segment of the business. The revenue and
profit from the South-African and Australia segments collectively continue to deliver satisfactory growth.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed by the Company’s
auditors.

By order of the board of directors.
