Michael Mills, Chairman of Legacy, commented: 'The past year has been an
exciting time for Legacy, during which we have seen the Company transform
itself. We have very clear ambitions to grow both organically and by

an important part in those plans. They provide us with extensive skills and
expertise in their respective fields which will be invaluable as we take the
Company forward.'

On 4 June 1999 Tim Riedel was involved in court proceedings resulting from his
involvement in the sale of Paradise Groves LLC. On 1 December 2001 the Superior
Court of Arizona ruled in favour of the Plaintiffs, including Tim Riedel on a
number of complaints. The judgement was deemed uncollectible in January 2002.
Paradise Groves was put into bankruptcy in January 2002.
Further to the above, subsequently Tim Riedel was adjudged bankrupt in October
2004 by the US Bankruptcy Court in Arizona owing to the expenses associated with
pursuit of the above suit and collection efforts.
