TRADING STATEMENT                                                               
Group Five shareholders are advised that, for the year ended 30th June 2009, the
group expects:                                                                  
-    Fully diluted headline earnings per share ("FDHEPS") to be between 20%-30% 
    higher (478 cents per share to 517 cents per share; and                     
-    Fully diluted earnings per share ("FDEPS") to be between 20%-30% higher    
    (455 cents per share to 493 cents per share)                                
than the FDHEPS of 398 cents per share and the FDEPS of 379 cents per share     
published for the previous corresponding period.                                
Note that the F2009 FDHEPS and FDEPS numbers above have not been affected by any
material fair value adjustments on service concessions nor by any material      
adjustments arising from pension fund valuations processed in the second half of
the financial year.                                                             
In addition, and to assist for comparative purposes, both the F2008 and F2009   
FDHEPS and FDEPS numbers presented above are calculated using fully diluted     
number of shares which include the dilutionary effect of the shares held by the 
iLima Consortium at each year end. As disclosed in our announcement dated 18    
June 2009, the Group Five BEE transaction, in so far as it relates to iLima     
Consortium will unwind and this will result in the return of the group`s shares 
held by iLima to Group Five.                                                    
The above information has not been reviewed or reported on by Group Five`s      
auditors. The group`s results will be released on SENS on 11th August 2009 and  
the annual report will be available on the same date.
