                  Compliance with Model Code - 4 February 2008

In  accordance  with  Listing Rule 15.5.1(4), the Company confirms  that  it  is
satisfied  that all inside information which the Directors and the Company  have
leading  up to the announcement of the final results for the year to 31  January

the  Model  Code  in  respect  of  dealings  by  persons  disclosing  managerial
responsibilities and purchases of its own securities. If, in the period  leading
up  to  the announcement of the results, the directors or the Company come  into
possession of any inside information, this will be notified to a RIS before  any
such transactions are undertaken.

The  close  period  to  which this notification relates is  in  respect  of  the
financial year ended 31 January 2008.
