However, Sekunjalo"s Chief Executive, Dr Iqbal Surve, has indicated that these results are not a reflection on the expected full year earnings. "Sekunjalo expects earnings for the year ending 31 August 2005 will be improved in comparison to that of the prior financial year. Dr Iqbal Surve, has also said that the reason for the lower expected interim results is mainly due to the impact of the pelagic operations in Premier Fishing having been unable to fish for a period of four months owing to the resource stocks unavailability. This had resulted in an abnormally high fixed cost for the pelagic operations during this period. Dr Surve says that since February however, Premier Fishing is on track to catch its allocated quota. Dr Surve has stated that the group"s businesses in health care, pharmaceuticals, information technology and financial services are expected to contribute strongly to the earnings for the year ending 31 August 2005. Sekunjalo"s Chief Executive states that the group is in an acquisitive phase which will allow it to build up critical mass in sectors which include financial services, healthcare, information technology and industrials. The group"s prospects for the year ending 31 August 2005 are excellent and shareholders can look forward to a year of significant acquisitive growth. ...Ends For Further information please contact: Melody Mjila Group Communications Manager Sekunjalo Investments Limited Tel: 021 658 2700 Fax: 021 658 271 Date: 31/05/2005 05:05:16 PM Supplied by www.sharenet.co.za Produced by the JSE SENS Department
