TRADING STATEMENT


In terms of paragraph 3.4(b)(i) of the JSE Listings
Requirements, listed companies are required to publish a
trading statement as soon as they become reasonably certain
that the financial results for the next period to be
reported on will be more than 20% different from those of
the previous corresponding period or from a profit forecast
previously provided to the market in relation to such
period. Shareholders are accordingly advised that:

1.   the loss per share and the fully diluted loss per
     share for the year ended 31 December 2012 is expected
     to approximate (0.69) cents per share compared to
     earnings and fully diluted earnings of 2.3 cents per
     share and 1.75 cents per share respectively for the
     prior year ended 31 December 2011; and
2.   the headline loss and diluted headline loss per share
     for the year ended 31 December 2012 is expected to
     approximate (1.54) cents per share         compared to
     headline earnings and diluted headline earnings of
     0.06 cents per share and 0.05 cents per share
     respectively for the year ended 31 December 2011.

The decline in earnings is due to discontinued operations
and a number of once off costs during the year ended 31
December 2012, details of which will be included in the
reviewed preliminary report for the year ended 31 December
2012 and which is expected to be made available to
shareholders on or about 30 April 2013.

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