30 November 2007

This announcement replaces the Issue of Equity announcement made by the Company
on 28 November 2007.

The  Company  announces that it has issued and allotted 2,461,111  new  Ordinary
0.5p  shares in the Company in satisfaction of professional fees incurred during
its  recent  fundraising - as announced on 9 November 2007 - and an accompanying
renegotiation of the convertible loans provided by Trafalgar Capital Specialized
Investment  Fund  at the time of the purchase of Amirose International  Limited.
1,350,000  were  issued at a price 1.05 per share, equivalent  to  £14,175,  and
1,111,111  were issued at a price of 1.8p per share, equivalent to £20,000  (and
not equivalent to £20,000,000 - as had previously been incorrectly stated).

Following the issue of the new ordinary shares, the Company's total issued share
capital  will be 203,355,177 Ordinary shares of 0.5p each. Application has  been
made to the London Stock Exchange for the new ordinary shares to be admitted  to
trading  on  AIM.  Dealings are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m.  on  Monday  3
December 2007.
