FURTHER TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE 52 WEEKS TO JUNE 2007                         
On 18 July 2007 shareholders were advised in the trading update released on     
SENS that headline earnings per share and earnings per share for the twelve     
months ended 30 June 2007 were likely to be between 15% and 25% higher than     
the prior year. We further advised that earnings per share will be higher       
than headline earnings per share, mainly due to a R46.7 million profit after    
tax made on the disposal of land in Midrand, Gauteng.                           
The Company is currently finalising its financial results and have              
subsequently established that headline earnings per share and earnings per      
share for the year ended 30 June 2007 will in fact be between 20% and 30%       
higher than the prior year.                                                     
The estimated earnings range has increased due to a reduction in our            
effective tax rate, following the recognition of a deferred tax asset in        
Country Road Limited.                                                           
The Company expects to release its results on SENS on 23 August 2007.           
The forecast information on which this trading statement is based has not       
been reviewed and reported on by the Company`s auditors.
