Market update - voluntary announcement
In the financial results announcement for the year ended 30 September 2007
released on 13 November 2007, Coronation cautioned that the renewed
vulnerability in the outlook for financial markets at the time suggested
cautious revenue and profit growth expectations going forward.
Further to this, Coronation now advises that as can be expected, declining
financial market values for the interim period to date have contributed to a
slowdown in revenue growth that will cause first half earnings for the six
months to 31 March 2008 to be lower than the corresponding period.
In addition, the tax rate for the six months to 31 March 2008 will increase
significantly given a dividend tax charge of R15.1 million payable on the
dividend paid in December 2007.
This announcement has not been reviewed by the company~s auditors. Coronation
will provide further updates in terms of the JSE listings requirements as and
when required.
The publication of the interim results for the six months to 31 March 2008 is
expected on or about 13 May 2008.
