("BCX" or "the Company")                                                        
REVISED TRADING STATEMENT                                                       
In compliance with paragraph 3.4(b) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements,   
BCX is pleased to provide further guidance to the market regarding the          
anticipated headline earnings per share ("HEPS") and earnings per share         
("EPS") ranges for the six months ended 29 February 2012 ("the Period").        
BCX shareholders ("Shareholders") are referred to the trading statement dated   
15 March 2012 ("Trading Statement") stating that the Company`s HEPS and EPS     
for the Period were projected to respectively be between 45% - 60% and 30% -    
40% higher than the corresponding reporting period for the previous year.       
Subsequent to the Trading Statement, the Company received confirmation that     
the capital gains tax of R30.3 million resulting from the sale of Destiny       
Electronic Commerce Proprietary Limited has been allowed against previous       
capital losses. At the time of publishing the Trading Statement, the Company    
deemed it prudent not to assume such a set off, until the aforementioned        
confirmation had been received.                                                 
Accordingly, the Company has revised its earnings projection for the Period     
and Shareholders are advised that the Company is now reasonably certain that    
the HEPS and EPS for the Period will respectively be between 135% - 140% and    
110% - 115% higher than the corresponding reporting period for the previous     
year.                                                                           
The above information has not been reviewed and reported on by the Company`s    
auditors. The Company`s unaudited financial results for the Period are          
expected to be published on or about 19 April 2012.
