CHAIRMAN'S SUPPLEMENTARY STATEMENT

In respect of the Preliminary Announcement on 11th December of Results for the
year ended 30 September 2000, following further discussions between our
Auditors and the Board, it has been agreed by the parties that there should be
a presentational change between the reconciliation of movement in Equity
Shareholders Funds, and the Profit and Loss Account for the year ended 30
September 2000, complying with FRS4. Our Annual Report and Financial
Statements will contain the revision.

In particular Group revenue reserves will be enhanced by £660,000 in respect
of a capital contribution received, compensated for by a reduction in reported
consolidated profit on ordinary activities before and after taxation of £
660,000. There is therefore no alteration to the Group Balance Sheet as a
result of this presentational change.

The re-presented figures follow, which show retained revenue reserves at the
same amount as previously reported.
