On 28 November 1996, the SFA announced the settlement of certain disciplinary
proceedings against BNP Capital Markets Limited ('BNPCM') and four individuals,
including Declan Kelly, who were employees of BNPCM at the relevant times. The
proceedings related to the method of accounting for a profit realised by BNPCM
in 1994 on a swap transaction with its parent company in 1993 and resulting
inaccuracies in financial reporting statements to SFA. BNPCM was fined and the
four individuals were also fined, with Mr Kelly receiving the lowest fine
(£5,000).



There are no other details regarding the appointment of Declan Kelly that
require disclosure under the AIM Rules.
