API  announces  that  application  has  been  made  for  the admission to AIM of
115,668 new  ordinary shares of 1 penny each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company,
pursuant to an exercise of options.

The  new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu in all respects will the Company's
existing  Ordinary Shares and  dealings are expected  to commence on 19 December
2011.

Following  admission, the Company's enlarged  issued share capital will comprise
76,748,730 Ordinary  Shares, with voting  rights. The Company  does not hold any
Ordinary  Shares in treasury.  Therefore the total  number of Ordinary Shares in
the  Company with voting rights  will be 76,748,730. This figure  may be used by
shareholders  in the  Company as  the denominator  for the calculations by which
they  will determine  if they  are required  to notify  their interest  in, or a
change  in their interest in,  the share capital of  the Company under the FSA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
