TRADING STATEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE 12 MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2014

In terms of paragraph 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, an issuer is required to publish a trading
statement as soon as it is satisfied that earnings per share (“EPS”) and/or headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) for
the next period to be reported are expected, with a reasonable degree of certainty, to differ by at least 20% from
those of the previous corresponding period.

Accordingly, the table that follows provides guidance for the expected increases or decreases in the group's Basic
earnings, Basic EPS, Headline earnings and HEPS for the 12 months ended 30 September 2014.

Investors are referred to the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE Limited (“SENS”) announcement of 5 May 2014,
entitled “Trading Statement in respect of the 6 months ended 30 March 2014” which sets out the significant
developments since the 2013 financial year end that have had an impact on the 2014 financial results.

Due to the effect of and profit generated by the sale of Bayport and Paycorp, which became effective in the first half
of the 2014 financial year, it is management’s view that the most appropriate metric to measure performance for
the 2014 financial year is continuing earnings.
