After reporting a loss of R17,6 million for the year ended December 2001, the   
Board is pleased to advise that the Group has returned to profitability in the  
six months ended 30 June 2002. More significantly, the cash flow for the last   
six months has continued its positive trend with the Group`s cash resources,    
increasing by R2,4 million during the six month period.                         
The consolidation process will continue for at least the remaining period of    
this financial year with management`s attention being directed towards continued
improvement in the Group`s core business.
