Norish is pleased to announce that it has exercised an option to acquire 
the land and property of its York facility from RSH Properties Limited for
a total consideration, net of costs, of £2.0 million. The York facility is
an ambient food storage warehouse and has been leased since July 2000.

The purchase of York will increase profits before tax at the facility by 
approximately £84,000 per annum. The purchase of the York facility will be
funded by a term loan from HSBC.

The acquisition of the York facility will further strengthen the ability of 
Norish to develop its existing facilities and broaden the range of 
services provided.
