The Company notes recent press comment regarding the ongoing litigation between,

on 29 November 2006, summary judgment was handed down against Carl Thomas, the

and an interim award application has been made by Hanco. ATM and Carl Thomas
intend to appeal the summary judgment and will vigorously defend the interim
award application. The next hearing on the case is currently expected on 21
February 2007.

It should be noted that as set out in the Company's Admission Document dated 24
March 2006, an unlimited indemnity, in favour of the Company and ATM, has been
given by Anthony Sharp, Chairman, and Carl Thomas. The further indemnity from
KKR Investment Management SA has not yet been put in place.
