As a result of the issue and Admission of the 599,999,991 new Ordinary Shares, the revised interests of ECR's Directors (which also includes a revision to a significant shareholding in the Company as defined in the AIM Rules for Companies) are as follows:

Name	Total Ordinary Shares held before Admission	Total Ordinary Shares held following Admission	Percentage of Ordinary Share capital before Admission	Percentage of  enlarged issued share capital following Admission

Following Admission, the Company's issued Ordinary Share capital now consists of 3,290,888,016 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per Ordinary Share. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company is 3,290,888,016.
