In terms of the JSE Limited"s ("JSE") Listings Requirements, companies are      
required to publish a trading statement as soon as they are reasonably certain  
that the financial results for the current reporting period will be more than

As a result of the above, Pinnacle"s shareholders are informed that, for the

be between 27,0 and 30,0 cents per share, being between 79% and 99% higher than
