1  As noted in the Interim Report for the year ended 30 June 1999, the directors
intend to propose a dividend for the year ended 30 June 1999 of 3p per ordinary
share.

2  Earnings per share is based on the profit on ordinary activities after
taxation of £1,959,000 (1998 - £1,803,000) and the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the year of 8,891,083 (1998 - 9,259,465).

3  Net asset value per share is based on the net assets at 30 June 1999 of
£16,265,000 (1998 - £11,789,000) divided by the number of shares in issue at 30
June 1999 of 8,682,015 (1998 - 9,162,015 shares).  Net assets at 30 June 1999
are calculated after taking account of a net surplus of £3,182,000 arising from
a directors' revaluation of the group's investment properties.
