TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

The Group’s final results for the financial year ended 30 June
2012 are due to be released on SENS on or about Tuesday 28 August
2012.

During the 2011 financial year the Group changed its financial
year end from 31 March to 30 June. The final results for the 2012
financial year will therefore be compared to the results for the
15 month period ended 30 June 2011 and are therefore not directly
comparable.

Rainbow shareholders are advised that the Group expects its
earnings per share and headline earnings per share for the year
ended 30 June 2012 to be between 25% and 35% lower than that of
the 15 month period ended 30 June 2011.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based
has not been reviewed and reported on by the Group’s external
auditors.
