In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, a listed company is   
required to publish a trading statement as soon as it is satisfied that a       
reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the        
financial period to be reported on next will vary by 20% or more from those of  
the previous corresponding period.                                              
Shareholders are hereby advised that a reasonable degree of certainty exists    
that the earnings per share of R&E for the financial year ended 31 December 2010
will be between 980 and 988 cents per share greater than the audited earnings   
per share of 48 cents per share for the previous financial year ended 31        
December 2009.                                                                  
Furthermore, a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the headline earnings 
per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 will be between 999 and
