                                 Trading Update


The Company provides the following update ahead of the release of its
preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2007.


The Company expects to be reporting billings for Q4 in the region of £1.75
million, much of which was invoiced late in the quarter and will therefore be
collected during the current period.  Order intake for the quarter was below
plan at £1.1 million and the Company starts 2008 with an order book of £1.15
million.


The Company's net cash position worsened by approximately £0.3 million during
the quarter and at 31 December 2007 net borrowings stood at approximately £1.1
million.  The Board continues to review its strategic options to address the
going concern matters referred to in the Q3 statement and reports that the
Company continues to be in discussions that may or may not lead to an offer
being made for the Company.


Further announcements will be made in due course as and when appropriate
