Conversion of Loan Notes, Directors' Dealings
Further to the announcement of 28 January 2004, the Board announces that at the
extraordinary general meeting of the holders of the £3 million unsecured 6 per
cent. convertible redeemable loan notes ('Loan Notes') held on 20 February 2004,
the resolution to grant Loan Note holders with the opportunity to convert the
Loan Notes to ordinary shares on 23 February 2004 was approved.
Accordingly, the Company has received notices of conversion from holders of the
all the £3 million Loan Notes. Under the terms of the Loan Notes, conversion is
on the basis of one new ordinary share of 10p each in the Company ('Ordinary
Shares') for each £2.40 of Loan Notes. As such, full conversion of the Loan
Notes gives rise to the issue of 1.25 million new Ordinary Shares to holders of
the Loan Notes.
Pursuant to the conversion of the Loan Notes, application will be made to the UK
Listing Authority for 1.25 million new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading
on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities. It is expected
that admission will take place and dealings will commence in such new Ordinary
Shares on Friday 27 February 2004. Following admission of the 1.25 million new
Ordinary Shares, the issued share capital of the Company will be 18,618,946
Ordinary Shares (the 'Enlarged Issued Share Capital').
Following conversion of his holding of 387,639 Loan Notes Alan Marsh, Chief
Executive, will increase his beneficial shareholding by 161,516 Ordinary Shares
to a total of 1,063,502 Ordinary Shares, representing 5.71% of the Company's
Enlarged Issued Share Capital.
Furthermore, following the conversion of, in aggregate 1,369,097 of Loan Notes,
Mr Marsh and certain associates (together the declared concert party) have
increased their shareholding by, in aggregate, 570,457 Ordinary Shares to
3,782,762 Ordinary Shares, being 20.32% of the Company's Enlarged Issued Share
Capital.
Following the conversion of his respective holding of Loan Notes the notifiable
interest of Simon Morecroft will be as follows:

Shareholding Issued Share following Enlarged Issued
