In compliance with paragraph 3.4 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE        
Limited, a listed company is required to publish a trading statement as soon as 
it becomes aware, with a reasonable degree of certainty, that the financial     
results for the next period to be reported on will differ by at least 20% from  
those of the previous corresponding period.                                     
Accordingly, the Group hereby advises that, for the six months ended 31 December
2007, it expects headline earnings per share to be 20% to 25% above those       
reported for the corresponding six month period ended 31 December 2006.         
Earnings per share are expected to be 10% to 15% above those reported for the   
corresponding six months period ended 31 December 2006, after providing for an  
impairment charge relating to the write-down of the carrying value of listed    
associated company investment, Amalgamated Appliance Holdings Limited, to its   
market value as at 31 December 2007.

by the Group`s auditors.                                                        
The unaudited interim financial results of the Group for the six months ended 31
December 2007 are expected to be released on or about 05 March 2008.
