FOURTH QUARTER OPERATIONAL UPDATE - FY 2011                                     
Cashbuild is currently in the process of finalising its results for the

Cashbuild herewith provides its quarterly trading update.                       
Revenue for the company was up by 5% on the fourth quarter of the prior         
financial year. Stores opened since 1 July 2009 (new stores - 13 stores)        
contributed 3% of the increase, whilst existing stores (178 stores)             
increased by 2%. Revenue for the financial year increased by 6%. (New           
stores 3% & existing stores, 3%)                                                
Transactions through the tills during the 4th quarter increased by 1%           
with new stores adding 3% and existing stores decreasing by 2%. For the         
financial year transactions increased by 4% with new stores adding 3%,          
whilst existing stores added 1%.                                                
Units sold during the fourth quarter increased by 17%. Existing stores          
increased by 14%. For the financial year units sold increased by 11% with       
existing stores increasing by 8%.                                               
One new store was opened during this quarter and one store closed               
(trading in close proximity to another existing store), bringing the            
number of stores trading at the end of the financial year to 191. One           
store was relocated during this quarter and five stores were refurbished.       
In addition to the factual part of the operational update given above,          
the following paragraphs will only deal with indicative information.            
Prospects                                                                       
Gross profit margin remained stable during the fourth quarter at similar        
levels to those experienced during the first half. Selling price                
inflation was around 2% at the end of June 2011 when compared to June

new financial year. Revenue for the first three trading weeks since year-       
end have reported an increase of 11% on that of the comparable three            
weeks.
