Four new stores were opened during the fourth quarter,
resulting in the number of stores trading at the end of the
financial year to be 200. Two stores were relocated and seven
stores refurbished during the fourth quarter. A total of nine
new stores were opened during the financial year with 21
refurbishments and six relocations being completed.
As result of the competitive trading environment, gross profit
margins declined further during the fourth quarter, compared
to figures reported in the first half. Selling price inflation
was 2% at the end of June 2013 when compared to June 2012.

Prospects
Management expect trading conditions to remain competitive
into the first quarter of the new financial year and gross
margins to remain under pressure. Store development activity
is expected to continue at levels seen over the past two
quarters.
