TRADING STATEMENT                                                               
Group Five shareholders are advised that, for the year ended 30th June 2008, the
group expects:                                                                  
-    Fully diluted headline earnings per share (HEPS) to be between 60%-70%     
    higher (373 cents per share to 396 cents per share); and                    
-    Fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) to be between 50%-60% higher (360   
    cents per share to 384 cents per share),                                    
than those published for the previous corresponding period                      
Note that the fully diluted HEPS numbers above include earnings resulting from a
sizeable fair value adjustment on service concessions (mainly on the realisation
of a tollroad concession in the second half of the financial year) as well as   
normal pension fund surpluses.  For comparative purposes, should all service    
concession fair value adjustments and pension fund surpluses be excluded for the
year ended 30th June 2008 and for the prior comparable reporting period to 30th 
June 2007, fully diluted HEPS are expected to be between 55%-65% higher.        
The group`s results will be released on SENS on or about 11th August 2008 and   
the annual report will be available on the same date.
