In terms of the JSE Limited"s ("JSE") Listings Requirements, companies are      
required to publish a trading statement as soon as they are reasonably certain  
that the financial results for the current reporting period will be more than   
20% different than that of the previous corresponding period.                   
As a result of the above, Pinnacle"s shareholders are informed that, for the six
months ended 31 December 2005, Pinnacle"s headline earnings are expected to be  
between 11,8 and 12,2 cents per share, being between 288% and 298% of the       
results of the comparative period (31 December 2004: 4,1 cents). Pinnacle"s     
earnings are expected to be between 11,5 and 11,9 cents per share, being between
295% and 305% of the results of the comparative period(31 December 2004: 3,9    
cents).                                                                         
In compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements, the financial results of      
Pinnacle for the six months ended 31 December 2005 will be prepared for the     
first time in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and   
the prior period"s results will be restated on the same basis.  We do not expect
this restatement to have a material effect on the comparisons above             
The above information has not been reviewed or reported on by the company"s     
auditors. The company"s interim results for the six months ended 31 December    
2005 are expected to be published on or about 14 March 2006.
