                                Sale of Belvedere
                                        
                                        
Norish is pleased to announce the disposal of its Belvedere facility to Mrs
Panna Mashru for a total consideration, net  of costs, of £2.8m payable in cash.
Belvedere is involved in storage handling and other related services for 
commodities cocoa and coffee.

Norish's exit from Belvedere follows the loss of the cocoa bean cleaning
operation which hit the facility badly in the  latter part of 2004 as well as
the loss of it's major coffee customer's business in early 2005. Belvedere
contributed  profits of £0.4m before central costs for the full year to 31
December 2004. The net book value attributable to the  property and plant is
£1.9m. The proceeds from the disposal of Belvedere will eliminate the Company's
borrowings.

Commenting on the disposal, Ted O'Neill, Executive Chairman, said: 'The sale of
Belvedere reflects the implementation of the Company's strategy to exit from its
commodity activities in  raw material storage of coffee and cocoa. The sale of
the business will enable Norish to focus its efforts on its other  facilities
which continue to perform in line with expectations.'
