TRADING STATEMENT AND CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
Shareholders were advised in Caxtons` 2004 interim results announcement
(published on SENS on 17 February 2004) that provided advertising spend
continued to hold up, the Company believed it would be able to improve its
operational profitability.
Mainly as a result of the increase in advertising spend and improved consumer
spending in general, it is expected that the earnings per share, diluted
earnings per share, headline earnings per share and diluted headline earnings
per share for the year ended to 30 June 2004 will all show a material
improvement on the results of the previous comparative period. The word material
in this context is defined as meaning a difference of between 10% and 30%.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been
reviewed or reported on by the Company`s auditors. Shareholders are therefore
advised to exercise caution when dealing in Caxtons shares until the publication
of its year end results on or about 24 August 2004.
