In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, a listed company is   
required to publish a trading statement as soon as it becomes reasonably certain
that the financial results for the next period to be reported on will show a 20%
or more difference from those of the previous corresponding period.

headline loss per share of between 24,65 cents and 22,99 cents, respectively for

period.                                                                         
Trading conditions in the civil construction and commercial and industrial      
building sectors have remained difficult over the past six months.
