Shareholders are hereby advised that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that for the year ended 31 March 2015, the Company will report basic earnings per share of between 3.15 cents and 2.90 cents, being an increase of between 350% and 330% respectively, and headline earnings per share of between 3.91 cents and 3.89 cents, being an increase of between 3810% and 3790% respectively, as opposed to restated basic loss per share of 1.26 cents and restated headline earnings per share of 0.10 cents for the prior year.
