Further to the above, Brimstone expects earnings per share and headline earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2015 to be negative (a decrease of more than 100%), primarily as a result of downward fair value adjustments to investments. The prior comparative period, six months ended 30 June 2014, reflected positive earnings of 120.9 cents per share for both earnings per share and headline earnings per share. Once the Company has clarity on the actual range of the decrease, a further trading statement will be released on SENS. Shareholders are advised that the above information has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s auditors and that the Company’s results for the six months ended 30 June 2015 are expected to be published on or about 18 August 2015. 3 July 2015 Cape Town Investment bank and sponsor Nedbank Date: 03/07/2015 12:57:00 Produced by the JSE SENS Department.
