Cynthia Carroll - Share Interests

Following Cynthia Carroll's appointment as a director of the Company effective
on 15 January 2007 and the ending of the close period today, Mrs Carroll has
been conditionally awarded and therefore now has a beneficial interest in
132,718 ordinary shares in the Company. These shares will qualify for future
dividends and will be released to her as to 60% on 1 January 2008 and 20% on
each of 1 January 2009 and 1 January 2010 (subject, inter alia, to any close
period then in operation). This award compensates Mrs Carroll for incentives
forfeited upon her appointment as CEO designate of the Company.

The notification of this transaction is intended to satisfy the Company's
obligations under both S.324 of the Companies Act 1985 and Disclosure Rule 3.1.2
