take place on 22 August 2005. In accordance with an agreement entered into
between the optionholder and the Company, the optionholder has agreed not to
dispose of the Shares for at least 12 months from the date the ordinary Shares
of the Company were first admitted to trading on AIM.


The new ordinary shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the
Company. Following this allotment, the total issued share capital of the Company
will increase to 32,548,970 ordinary shares.
