Further to this announcement, the Board announces that a circular containing details of these proposals is being posted to Shareholders today. The circular explains that, as a consequence of building the business, the Company requires additional working capital, and that the difficulties of earlier years have left the Group short of working capital to meet its day-to-day needs of head office and quoted company expenditures. Every effort has been made to reduce central costs which are now at a minimum consistent with our remaining a publicly quoted company. Between £750,000 and £1,100,000 of new monies are being subscribed by new investors in the form of an issue of convertible secured loan stock. Agreement in principle has been reached for David Ciclitira (a director of the Company) and an independent investment company to subscribe £250,000 and £500,000 of such loan stock respectively. In addition both David Ciclitira and Snowy Invest & Trade Inc ('Snowy') with which the chairman, Tan Sri Mohd Razali Abdul Rahman (chairman of the Company) is associated have agreed to convert, respectively, up to £250,000 and £94,603 of the existing indebtedness owed to them by the Company into the convertible loan stock referred to above. The convertible loan stock will have an approximate three year term, will bear interest at Euribor plus 3% and will be convertible into new ordinary shares at the rate of 1.5p per new ordinary share. David Ciclitira and Tan Sri Mohd Razali Adbul Rahman both have an interest in the proposals and are deemed to be Related Parties as defined in Rule 13 of the AIM Rules. Keld Kristiansen, the independent director, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, City Financial Associates Limited, considers the terms of the investment by the Related Parties to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Shareholders of the Company are concerned.
