05 March 2008



                                   Rotala plc
                          ('Rotala' or 'the Company')

                         Further placing of Loan Notes
                              Directors' Dealings


The Company announced earlier this week a trading update, acquisition, placing
of Loan Notes and proposed placing of Ordinary Shares to raise £3.8 million in
aggregate. Of this amount £1.4 million was in the form of commitments from
Directors and other investors.

The Company is pleased to announce that it has now raised a further £815,000
through the issue of £815,000 of Loan Notes (the 'Further Placing').


Details of the Further Placing

The Further Placing comprises the issue of £815,000 of Loan Notes which have
been placed by Ludgate Investments Limited with investors including certain
directors of the Company. The Loan Notes will pay interest semi-annually in
arrears on 30 June and 31 December in each year at a rate of 8% p.a. with the
first payment being for the period from the issue of the Loan Notes to 30th June
2008.  The Loan Notes which will not be listed are capable of being converted in
aggregate into 1,207,406 new Ordinary Shares of the Company. The conversion
price is 67.5p per share which represents a premium of 0.7% to the closing
mid-market price of 67p per Ordinary Share on 3rd March 2008. If not converted,
the Loan Notes will be redeemed by the Company on 31 December 2011, or earlier
with the agreement of the noteholder.

In addition, the Company has issued to placees an aggregate of 402,462 warrants
to subscribe for new Ordinary Shares in the Company (the 'Warrants'). Of these
Warrants, 201,231 entitle placees to subscribe for new ordinary shares at 75
pence per share at any time up to 31 December 2009, and 201,231 entitle placees
to subscribe for new ordinary shares at 80 pence per share at any time up to 31
December 2010. In addition Ludgate, as placing agent to the Company, has been
issued with warrants entitling it to subscribe for 32,590 new ordinary shares at
67.5 pence per share at any time up to 31 December 2011.


Enlarged Share Capital

The conversion of all of the Loan Notes and exercise of all of the Warrants
issued under the Further Placing would result in the issue of 1,642,458 new
Ordinary Shares in aggregate. This would represent approximately 7.5% of the
enlarged issued share capital of the Company. Upon issue the new Ordinary Shares
will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued ordinary shares of
25p each in the capital of the Company.

In aggregate, following the Further Placing the Company now has £4,437,500 of
Loan Notes in issue. There remain commitments of £225,000 from investors to
subscribe for Loan Notes and these are expected to be issued by the Company
later this month. In addition, Robert Dunn, Simon Dunn and Scott Dunn have, in
aggregate, committed to subscribe for 749,998 new Ordinary Shares at an issue
price of 52 pence per share for an aggregate investment of approximately
£390,000 ('the Ordinary Share Issue'). This investment in Ordinary Shares is in
addition to an investment of £260,000 in Loan Notes by Simon Dunn and Scott
Dunn. The Ordinary Share Issue and the placing of the outstanding Loan Note
commitments is expected to complete within the next few weeks.
