Further to the announcement on 14 January 2005 and the subsequent updates on 8
March 2005 and 28 April 2005 the Board confirms that discussions with a number
of parties are continuing.  Shareholders should however note that all the

certainty that an offer will be made nor as to the terms on which any offer
might be made.


This announcement is not being made with the agreement or approval of the
potential offerors.


A further announcement will be made in due course.
