COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS
INVESTING STRATEGY).  IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE
STATED:
Asfare has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire the entire

issued share capital of AssetCo Group Limited ("AssetCo") for a consideration of approximately #80.2 million. Of this
amount, #70.2 million will be satisfied by the issue of consideration shares at 145 pence per share to AssetCo's
ordinary shareholders and convertible preference shareholders and the remaining #10.0 million will be paid in cash in
respect of the AssetCo preference shares.



Furthermore, Asfare has conditionally placed 13,793,104 new shares at 145 pence each with institutional investors (the
"Placing"), raising approximately #20.0 million before expenses.



By reason of the size of AssetCo relative to Asfare and the fundamental change in Asfare's business, board and voting
control, the acquisition is classified as a reverse takeover under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The AIM
Rules for Companies require that completion of the acquisition is subject to the prior approval of shareholders, which
will be sought at Asfare's extraordinary general meeting on 29 March 2007. Furthermore, the Placing is conditional,
inter alia, on shareholder approval.





AssetCo is a leading provider of total managed services to UK fire and rescue authorities. AssetCo also designs, builds
and converts specialist vehicles and equipment for emergency and mission critical service clients.



Asfare is a leading supplier of products and services to the emergency and homeland security markets in the UK.  Asfare
supplies operational equipment products and services to more than 90 per cent. of the UK fire and rescue authorities.
Asfare comprises two divisions: the search and rescue division and the protection and detection division.
