Application has today been made for admission of 4,500,000 new ordinary shares
of 0.5p each in the Company to trading on the Alternative Investment Market.
These shares have been issued pursuant to a placing for cash at 13p per share
to raise £585,000 (before expenses) of additional working capital for a new
project anticipated by the Company. This follows the placings in December 2001
and earlier this month and completes this tranche of project fundraising. The
shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of the Company.
Dealings are expected to commence in the new ordinary shares on 5 February
2001.
