CASH FLOW GUIDANCE UPDATE

Retirement village and aged care provider Metlifecare Limited advises that,
further to its presentation released to the market on 30 May 2013, it is now
in a position to further update the market on its operating cash flow
guidance.

In the presentation, the company confirmed that the earlier forecast of $60.7
million (excluding merger and acquisition costs and interest) would be
exceeded. Since that date, the company has completed an additional month''s
statutory accounts and updated its forecast for the current month.  On the
basis of this further information, Metlifecare is now in a position to
confirm that the current forecast estimate is revised to $70 million.

volumes.
