VOLUNTARY TRADING STATEMENT
The Company is currently finalising its interim results for the six months
ended 31 August 2007. Shareholders are advised that earnings per ordinary
share are anticipated to be between 8% and 10% higher than that reported in
the corresponding reporting period of the prior year, with headline
earnings per ordinary share anticipated to be in-line (between 56 cents and
57 cents per share) with that reported in the corresponding reporting
period (56.2 cents restated). The final unaudited results for the six
months ended 31 August 2007 will be released on SENS on 25 October 2007.
As a result of continuing oil price increases and strong worldwide polymer
demand, margins have remained under pressure in the first half of the
financial year.
The forecast financial information on which this trading statement is based
has not been reviewed and reported on by the Company`s auditors.
