There is a performance criterion to be met in respect of each of these
share options, namely that the company's share price performance from
the date of grant must exceed that of the companies in the top quartile
of the FTSE 100 index. Each option was granted for nominal
consideration.

The share options granted to David Lean and Howard Miller, both non-
executive directors, are under the terms of the company's Unapproved
Option Scheme and the option granted to Ian Cuthbertson, finance
director, was made under the terms of the company's 1992 Executive
Approved Share Option Scheme.
