Shareholders are referred to an announcement published by Labat on 4 July 2005, 
regarding the review of Labat"s 2004 annual financial statements ("2004 AFS") in
terms of their compliance with the South African Statements of Generally        
Accepted Accounting Practice ("GAAP"). This review occurred at the request of   
the JSE Limited after it received advice from its advisory body, the GAAP       
Monitoring Panel ("GMP") that the Labat 2004 AFS did not appear to comply with  
GAAP in all respects. A detailed announcement regarding the review of Labat"s   
2004 AFS and publication of Labat"s provisional results for the year ended 28   
February 2005 will be published once the JSE has finished its review and is     
advised by the GMP that Labat has addressed the areas of concern.
