Following these transactions Mr Serjent has a beneficial interest in the
Company's issued ordinary share capital of 191,047 Ordinary Shares representing
0.39 per cent of the Company's total issued ordinary share capital.


Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange and UK Listing Authority
for 25,000 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the Official List and to trading
pursuant to the exercise of these options.


Admission is expected to occur on 16 January 2006.
