Statement re: suspension


The Directors note the recent rise in the Company's share price. The Directors
confirm that they are in discussions regarding a potential acquisition, which
would constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules and which would involve
an equity fundraising.

The Company will update the market with further information in due course and as
appropriate.

As a result, the Company has requested that the London Stock Exchange suspend
trading in the Company's shares with immediate effect.
