required to publish a trading statement as soon as they are satisfied, with a reasonable degree
of certainty, that the financial results for the period to be reported upon next will differ by at

Comparative Period.
The HEPS is expected to increase by between 65% and 75%, resulting in a HEPS of between

Period.
