  TRADING UPDATE AND CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT                                      
  Shareholders are advised that Pinnacle`s earnings and headline earnings for the 
  year ended 30 June 2004, will be substantially higher (`substantially` being an 
  increase of equal to or greater than 30% as defined in paragraph 3.4 (b) (i) of 
  the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa (`JSE`) Listings Requirements), than   
  that of the prior comparative period.                                           
  The improvement in earnings is mainly attributable to increased revenues and    
  margins resulting from increased level of trading activities in both the        
  corporate and government sectors within its primary operating subsidiary,       
  Pinnacle Micro (Proprietary) Limited.                                           
  The earnings and headline earnings for the year ended 30 June 2004 have not been
  reviewed and reported on by Pinnacle`s auditors, and shareholders are           
  accordingly advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Company`s securities
  on the JSE until the audited results are announced, which is                    
  expected to be on or about 30 September 2004.
