Move to AIM



On 18 July, the Company's Chairman indicated in his statement that accompanied
the annual report that the directors intended to move the Company's listing to
the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange.



The Board has reviewed the decision as a result of a further cost benefit
exercise undertaken following the changes to the regulatory regime pursuant to
the implementation of the Prospectus Directive on 1st July 2005 and has
concluded that the move to AIM will now be postponed indefinitely.
