Market update
On 20 March 2009, the Board of the Company announced that it was in discussions
with two potential offerors and that these discussions included the provision of
the necessary short term funding facilities to allow the Company to continue
trading through the period needed to complete any formal offer for the Company
under the Takeover Code. Discussions with both parties have continued.
The Board announces that one of the potential offerors (the "Lender") has today
entered into an agreement with the Company to provide the Company with a secured
revolving credit facility of up to US$1,000,000 (the "Facility"). The Facility
is repayable, along with accrued interest, upon the earlier of (i) 6 months from
the date of the first draw down under the facility agreement; and (ii) 30 days
after the termination of any potential offer discussions. After the initial
drawdown, any subsequent drawdowns under the Facility will be at the sole and
absolute discretion of the Lender.
The Board believes that the drawdown of the full Facility should allow the
Company to continue trading through the period needed to complete any formal
offer for the Company by the Lender under the Takeover Code. The Board of the
Company wishes to stress that there can be no certainty that the discussions
will lead to an offer being made for the Company.
The Board will provide a further update as and when appropriate.

Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code, if any person is, or becomes,
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of "relevant
securities" of the Company, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of the
Company (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative
referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by no
later than 3.30pm (London time) on the Business Day following the date of the
relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the offer lapses or
is otherwise withdrawn or the date on which the "offer period" otherwise ends.
If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding,
whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of
the Company, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule
8.3 of the City Code.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the City Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of the Company by the Company, the Lender or their "associates" must
be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the Business Day
following the date of the relevant transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by
virtue of the "ownership" or control of securities, or by virtue of any option
in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the City Code, which can also be found
on the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are
required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
