cents per ordinary and unlisted B ordinary share, in lieu of a final

share premium account (`the distribution`).                                     
The distribution is in terms of the general authority granted to                
directors at the annual general meeting held on 27 July 2006.

certificates between Monday, 25 June 2007 and Friday, 29 June 2007, both        
dates inclusive.                                                                
Set out in the table below are the pro forma financial effects of the           
distribution on the company`s net asset value per share and net tangible        
asset value per share, based on the audited results for the year ended 31       
March 2007, had the distribution been made as at 1 April 2006.                  
The pro forma financial effects have been prepared for illustrative             
purposes only and, because of their nature, may not give a true                 
reflection of the company`s financial position, changes in equity,              
results of operations or cash flows. The pro forma financial effects are        
the responsibility of the company`s directors.                                  
The financial effect on headline earnings and earnings per share is             
insignificant (i.e. less than 3%) and has therefore not been disclosed.

premium and the financing effect thereof.
