TRADING STATEMENT                                                               
With regard to Bell`s results for the year ended 31 December 2009, which        
should be released on SENS during March 2010, shareholders are advised that a   
loss of between 370 cents and 410 cents per share is expected compared with     
earnings per share of 367 cents for the corresponding reporting period of the   
previous year.                                                                  
This loss is attributable to the difficult trading conditions experienced in    
2009 caused by the global economic recession. The Company is continuing in its  
efforts to right-size its business to the current market requirements and to    
exploit new revenue generating opportunities.                                   
The forecast financial information on which this trading statement is based     
has not been reviewed and reported on by the Company`s auditors.
