ended 30 June 2013.

Shareholders are now advised that the Company expects earnings
and headline earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June
2014 to be between 60 cents and 65 cents, a decrease of
approximately 60%, compared with the earnings and headline
earnings per share of 156 cents for the six months ended 30 June
2013.
