 *   The change in translation reserve arises from the translation impact
     of the group’s foreign net asset value following the weakening of the
     Rand against several other African currencies as well as the USD
     (R11.29 Rand / 1 US dollar exchange rate at 30 September 2014
     compared to a rate of R10.49 at 31 December 2013) since December
     2013.

 **  Primarily comprises   the   ordinary   dividends   declared   in March   and
     August 2014.
