For Immediate Release                                           2 December, 2004


                    Dunedin Enterprise Investment Trust PLC
       Complete exit from Goals Soccer Centres plc upon flotation on AIM

Dunedin Enterprise Investment Trust PLC ('Dunedin Enterprise' or the 'Trust'),
which specialises in the provision of equity finance for management buyouts,
management buyins and growing businesses, today announces that it will fully
exit from its investment in Goals Soccer Centres plc ('Goals') following the
flotation of Goals on the Alternative Investment Market ('AIM').

Dunedin Enterprise will receive net proceeds of £9.3 million, £4.4 million of
which constitutes the redemption of loan stock. The valuation of Dunedin
Enterprise's investment in Goals at 30 April 2004 was £4.6 million. This
represents an uplift of £4.7 million.

Goals is a leading operator of 'next generation' five-a-side soccer centres
across the UK. It operates 11 centres across the UK and has established a
well-progressed pipeline of sites to continue its proven roll-out concept with
15 more centres planned over the next three years. Goals centres are used by
over 30,000 customers each week.

Dunedin initially invested in Goals in November 2000 when it led the management
buyin ('MBI') of the company. Dunedin provided equity finance and the Bank of
Scotland structured an innovative debt package. Post-MBI, Dunedin took an active
role in supporting and guiding the business and provided further development
finance, thus allowing the business to expand from five football centres to 11.
Dunedin also facilitated the introductions to Goals's Chairman Sir Rodney Walker
and Vice-Chairman Graham Wilson.

Goals shares have been placed with institutions and priced at 62p per share. The
first day of dealings will be on Tuesday 7 December 2004. On listing, the market
capitalisation of Goals will be £26 million.

Brian Scouler, Director of Dunedin Capital Partners, said: 'We are very pleased
that Goals has floated so successfully, allowing Dunedin Enterprise to exit
fully from its investment. Goals's roll-out strategy made it an excellent fit
with Dunedin's investment strategy. We wish the team well with their further
roll-out plans.'

2 Goals Soccer Centres plc

Keith Rogers, managing director of Goals, co-founded Anchor International
Limited which opened its first 5-a-side centre in 1987. He successfully expanded
the business before it was sold to 3i for £28 million in 1999. Anchor
International's first site is still operating today.

Following the sale of Anchor International, Keith Rogers led an MBI of an
existing 5-a-side business operating five centres. This provided an opportunity
to create an enhanced 5-a side concept based on strong branding, convenient
locations and high quality facilities.
