The Board has further examined the capital structure of the Company, and after
discussions with the Bank of Scotland, has concluded that an additional
reduction in the indebtedness is necessary. This step is in the aftermath of
sustained and substantial falls in equity markets. Accordingly, it is the
intention to repay approximately #592,000 of bank debt plus additional swap
breakage charges on the loan of approximately #58,000.
