Shareholders are advised that the Al Habtoor Murray & Roberts Takenaka Joint    
Venture (HMRT) has reached mutual agreement with Dubai Civil Aviation to        
withdraw from its contract to construct Dubai International Airport Concourse 3.
HMRT was awarded the contract in December 2008 and has been working with DCA to 
finalise acceptable contract terms since then.                                  
The Parties have concluded that a mutually acceptable contract is not currently 
possible.                                                                       
The Group`s 40% share of this contract was worth about R5,0 billion in revenues 
over the next three year period. Limited work has been undertaken on the project
to date and the Parties will work together to reach a final account.            
HMRT successfully delivered the Concourse 2 and Terminal 3 project which was    
opened last year.                                                               
This announcement has not been reviewed or reported on by the Group`s auditors. 
While withdrawal from this project is not expected to have a material impact on 
the Group`s results for the financial year to 30 June 2009, the Directors meet  
at end-June 2009 to consider and approve the Group`s third quarter financial    
results and review market conditions and budget assessments for the year to 30  
June 2009 and should it prove necessary, will issue a business update           
thereafter.
