DISCLAIMED REVIEW OPINION
Further to the publication of Viking"s unaudited annual results announcement on
16 April 2003, we wish to announce that the auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc
have completed their review of the results announcement.
They conducted the review in accordance with statements of South African
Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements. This standard requires that
they plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance that the financial
information is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to
enquiries of group personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data
and thus provides less assurance than an audit. PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc have
not performed an audit, and accordingly, do not express an audit opinion.
The independent auditors of a material subsidiary of Viking have not yet been
able to complete their review due to a problem with the subsidiary"s inventory
system. Because of the significance of this, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc issued a
disclaimer of review opinion. A final audit opinion is expected to be available
on Monday 19 May 2003.
