                       US$115 million Syndicated Facility

Quarto, the London-based and listed international book publisher, has signed a
five year, US$115,000,000 multi currency revolving credit agreement with a
syndicate of banks on both sides of the Atlantic.

'This funding agreement increases our borrowing capacity to US$180 million,'
noted Michael J Mousley, Quarto's Chief Financial Officer. 'I am pleased to
report that Fifth Third Bank, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, has joined the
syndicate. This means that our banking group is now a better strategic fit to
our existing business and our plans for growth. It is also pleasing to note that
our existing bankers continue to support these plans and continue to recognise
the ongoing strength of our business.'
