TRADING STATEMENT - INTERIM RESULTS FOR SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2009
In terms of paragraph 3.4 (b) of the JSE Limited ("JSE") listings requirements,

reasonably certain that the financial results for the period to be reported upon
differ by at least 20% from that of the previous corresponding period.
Netcare is in the process of finalising its unaudited interim results for the
six months ended 31 March 2009, which are expected to be released on SENS on or

Ampath Group.
Having regard to the above, shareholders are advised that -
- basic earnings per share ("EPS") for the six months ended 31 March 2009 are
expected to be between 208% and 218% higher than the EPS for the six months
ended 31 March 2008; and

are expected to be between 35% and 45% higher compared to the HEPS for the
