In terms of the Listings Requirements of JSE Limited, companies are required to 
publish a trading statement as soon as they become reasonably certain that the  
financial results for the period to be reported on will differ by more than 20% 
from that of the previous corresponding period. Accordingly, a review of the    
financial results for the year ended 29 February 2008 by management has         
indicated that earnings per share and headline earnings per share will be       
between 90% and 110% higher than the previous corresponding period. The         
financial information on which this trading statement is based has been reviewed
by Labat`s auditors.
