                    FURTHER CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT


The JSE Limited (“JSE”) introduced the pro-active monitoring of
annual financial statements in 2011. In terms of this process, annual
financial statements of companies listed on the exchange operated by
the JSE are selected and reviewed to determine the level of
compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended
28 February 2013 (“2013 AFS”) have been selected for review by the
JSE. Several queries from the JSE have arisen from this process which
the Company has investigated in full.

The directors wish to inform shareholders that the provisional result
of this investigation is that the 2013 AFS and the interim results
for the period ended 31 August 2013 (“August 2013 Interims”) are
misstated, which may be material in amount and nature. The subject of
the error is the accounting and disclosures for the reverse
acquisition of MRI by Western Utilities Corporation Proprietary
Limited (“Restatement”). The line items of the 2013 AFS and the
August 2013 Interims that are expected to be restated, which is
subject to change, is as follows:

  -   Other Income;
  -   Goodwill;
  -   Stated Capital;
  -   Reverse Acquisition Reserve; and
  -   Retained Earnings.

Consequently, further to the detailed cautionary announcement dated
21 February 2014 regarding the conversion of debt, the Company wishes
to advise shareholders to also exercise caution when dealing in MRI’s
securities until further details regarding the Restatement is made.
