Admission to Trading on AIM

27 July 2007

The issued ordinary share capital Core Business was today admitted to trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock
Exchange ("AIM"), following the successful reverse takeover of Amirose International Limited (`Amirose'), together with
the associated fundraising, as originally announced on 3 July 2007.

The acquisition will provide Core with the opportunity of bringing its own portfolio of brands into Amirose's
established distribution and logistics facility.   Core will have the ability to introduce Amirose's portfolio of brands
including Pure Derm and Skin Benefits to its strong network of retail contacts in the UK and to develop products with
Amirose's established Far Eastern supply chain contacts.

The acquisition provides a natural fit for Core and represents an excellent and immediate opportunity to leverage the
Company's recent rapid growth. In February 2007 Core announced an exclusive five-year agreement with Accessoire Beaute
Cosmetiques to distribute in the UK the Elite Models Fashion beauty and hair accessories range, and more recently the
Elite Models Fashion color cosmetics range. Elite's beauty and hair accessories range was launched in Superdrug in March
and Elite Colour Cosmetics is planned for a major launch in September.

The Core Business also has a number of other distribution and licensing deals under review.

The Company is also pleased to announce the Admission to trading on AIM of warrants to subscribe for Ordinary Shares in
the Company ("Warrants").  The Warrants give the right to subscribe at a price of 1p per Ordinary shares at any time
during the next 5 years.  Like the Ordinary Shares of the Company, the Warrants will also be traded on the Plus Markets
trading platform.

Core's Chief Executive Stirling Murray said today-

"We are delighted with the acquisition. Core's strong  network of  retail contacts will help to facilitate the entry of
Amirose brands into new and wider  channels of  distribution, and Amirose will provide  Core with strong brand ideas
and, importantly,  access to low cost manufacturing and packaging. The acquisition has come at a very exciting time for
us. We have completed some exciting consultancy contracts, are swiftly developing our distribution business and believe
that with Amirose we can rapidly move our business into new areas".
