Acquisition

Capitaltech PLC 19 July 2000 CapitalTech PLC ('CapitalTech) Acquisition CapitalTech has acquired from its principal shareholders, the Adair Trusts, the whole issued share capital (2 Ordinary Shares of £1 each) of PCG Properties Limited ('PCG'). Under the AIM Rules this transaction is a related party transaction as Mr Robert Adair, CapitalTech's Chairman, has an interest in PCG. PCG, through its subsidiary PCG Residential Lettings (No.7) Limited ('No.7'), is financed entirely by borrowings from the Adair Trusts, which will remain in place. PCG recently acquired South Eastern Recovery II PLC, a residential property investment company holding 58 flats and 1 shop in the south east of England ('SER II'). Except for the acquisition of SER II, PCG and No.7 have no business activities. The purpose and benefit of the transaction is to add the property portfolio of SER II to that of CapitalTech and allow broader scope for rationalisation thereof. The audited accounts of SER II for the year to 31 March 1999 show a profit after tax of £173,428. PCG and No.7 were recently incorporated and with limited past activity, have not recorded profit. The consideration is £2 in cash, with further consideration being equal to the net asset value but with a maximum of £500,000 payable upon certification of such net asset value by SER II's accountants at the date of acquisition being 18 July 2000. The directors of CapitalTech, other than Mr Adair, having consulted with CapitalTech's nominated adviser, Noble & Company Limited, are satisfied that the transaction is fair and reasonable so far as the shareholders of CapitalTech are concerned.
