(`Bell` or `the Company`)
TRADING STATEMENT
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Securities Exchange South
Africa (`the JSE Listing Requirements`) a listed company is required to publish
a trading statement as soon as it becomes aware that the financial results for
the next period to be reported on will differ by at least 20% from those of the
previous corresponding period.
The directors are of the opinion that the net profit after tax for the year
ended 31 December 2004 will be at least 80% lower than the corresponding year
ended 31 December 2003. Bell earns half of its revenue offshore and has
continued to be affected by the strength of the Rand against major currencies.
The forecast has not been reviewed or reported on by Bell`s auditors. The
release of the final announcement of results for the year ended 31 December 2004
is expected to be published in the second half of March 2005.
