CHANGE STATEMENT

Shareholders are advised that the audited 2018 Annual Financial
Statements contain the following modification to the reviewed
consolidated provisional financial statements for the year ended
30 June 2018 released on the Stock Exchange News Service (SENS) of
the JSE Limited on Friday, 7 September 2018.

Revenue in the Group statement of profit or loss has been
modified to disclose revenue from discontinued operations
separately. The revenue disclosed in the reviewed
consolidated provisional financial statements released on
SENS on 7 September 2018 included revenue from both continuing
and discontinued operations (i.e. total operations).

Financial Statements

As required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
5, discontinued operations should be excluded from all items of
profit and loss and disclosed as a separate line.

Results from discontinued operations, as reported on 7 September
2018, have been correctly excluded from all other line items and
notes in the reviewed consolidated provisional financial statements, 
including the comparative amounts.

The revenue line disclosed in the Group statement of profit or loss
is for the purpose of compliance with IFRS. This amount

         -   is not additive in nature in the Group statement of
             profit or loss or any other statement or note; and
         -   has no impact on the Group's net profit or earnings per
             share calculations.

The abridged Group statement of profit or loss for the year ended
30 June 2018 is therefore as follows:
