Related Party Transaction
The Director Participation in the
Placing constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of
Rule 13 of the AIM Rules by virtue of Donald Strang and Hamish
Harris both being directors of the Company and therefore related
parties (the "Transaction"). Peter Ruse, being the director of the
Company independent of the Transaction considers, having consulted
with Cairn Financial Advisers LLP, the Company's nominated adviser
for the purposes of the AIM Rules, that the terms of the
Transaction are fair and reasonable in so far as shareholders are
concerned.

Total Voting Rights following

For the purpose of the Disclosure
and Transparency Rules, following Admission, the enlarged issued

shares of 0.085p each. The above figure may be used by shareholders
as the denominator for the calculations by which they will
