statements for its year ended June 30, 2018. The Company has released its amended annual report for the effects disclosed in
the SENS filing made on November 9, 2018. The Company has updated its 2018 annual report to reflect this restatement and
has      posted    an     amended      2018    annual   report    to     its   website,    which      is    available     at

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Headline earnings per share ("HEPS")

The inclusion of HEPS in this press release is a requirement of our listing on the JSE. HEPS basic and diluted is calculated
using net (loss) income which has been determined based on GAAP. Accordingly, this may differ to the headline earnings per
share calculation of other companies listed on the JSE as these companies may report their financial results under a different
financial reporting framework, including but not limited to, International Financial Reporting Standards.

HEPS basic and diluted is calculated as GAAP net income adjusted for the impairment loss, loss on the acquisition of DNI
and (profit) loss on sale of property, plant and equipment. Attachment B presents the reconciliation between our net income
used to calculate earnings per share basic and diluted and HEPS basic and diluted and the calculation of the denominator for
headline diluted earnings per share.

Calculation of the denominator for headline diluted (loss) earnings per share

                                                                                                               2018       Q4          Q3            Q2         Q1

Weighted average number of shares used to calculate headline (loss) earnings per share diluted represent the denominator for
basic weighted-average common shares outstanding and unvested restricted shares expected to vest plus the effect of dilutive
securities under GAAP. We use this number of fully-diluted shares outstanding to calculate headline (loss) earnings per share
diluted because we do not use the two-class method to calculate headline earnings per share diluted.
