Recommended cash offer by The Capita Group Plc ("Capita") for ComputerLand UK
plc ("ComputerLand")

Summary

*        Capita has reached agreement with the ComputerLand Board on the terms
of a recommended cash offer to acquire the issued and to be issued share capital
of ComputerLand at a price of 270 pence per ComputerLand Share, valuing the
fully diluted ordinary share capital of ComputerLand at approximately £28.9
million.

*        Capita has received irrevocable undertakings to accept or procure the
acceptance of the Offer in respect of 4,488,773 ComputerLand Shares representing
43.9 per cent. of the issued share capital of ComputerLand.

*        ComputerLand provides services designed to improve business
productivity, increase the quality of IT and reduce IT costs to corporate
clients. The acquisition of ComputerLand will add substantially to the breadth
and depth of Capita's existing capability, particularly the bringing together of
both companies' managed IT services.  In addition, the increased scale will
enable Capita to offer enhanced propositions to existing and new clients.

*        ComputerLand's managed IT services business has a growing, high-quality
customer base and a significant proportion of ComputerLand's product sales are
derived from managed services customers which include O2, British Sugar,
Experian and Heinz. In the year ended 30 April 2007, ComputerLand generated
total revenues of £67 million including contracted revenues of £18.6 million.

Commenting on the Offer, Paul Pindar, Chief Executive of Capita, said:

"ComputerLand's existing customer base and range of services complements our
existing IT services business and the acquisition will give us greater breadth
and depth of expertise with which to assist existing clients and provide genuine
'value added' services to new ones. We see particularly exciting growth
prospects for the managed services side of the business, where Capita's
established strength in the UK outsourcing market will add further credibility
and scale to ComputerLand, allowing it to consider a wider range of potential
customers and projects. We have been a client of ComputerLand since 2001 and
look forward to its inclusion within the Capita Group."


Commenting on the Offer, Graham Gilbert, Chairman and Chief Executive of
ComputerLand, said:

"The ComputerLand Board believes that the offer from Capita of 270 pence in cash
per ComputerLand share provides both an attractive premium and certainty of
value today for ComputerLand shareholders. We believe that the Capita Group has
the financial resources and expertise to invest actively in the future
development of the ComputerLand business, thus enhancing ComputerLand's position
and that ComputerLand will benefit significantly from being part of the Capita
Group."

*        The price of 270 pence for each ComputerLand Share represents a premium
of approximately:

o             31 per cent. to the Closing Price of 206.0 pence per ComputerLand
Share on 10 March 2008, being the last Business Day prior to this announcement;

o             40 per cent. to the average Closing Price of approximately 193.2
pence per ComputerLand Share for one month prior to 10 March 2008, being the
last Business Day prior to this announcement;

o             40 per cent. to the average Closing Price of approximately 192.7
pence per ComputerLand Share for three months prior to 10 March 2008, being the
last Business Day prior to this announcement; and

o             27 per cent. to the average Closing Price of approximately 212.1
pence per ComputerLand Share for the 12 months prior to 10 March 2008, being the
last Business Day prior to this announcement.

*        The ComputerLand Board, which has been so advised by Charles Stanley &
Co. Limited ("Charles Stanley"), unanimously considers the terms of the Offer to
be fair and reasonable to ComputerLand Shareholders as a whole. In providing
advice to the ComputerLand Board, Charles Stanley has taken into account the

ComputerLand Directors unanimously recommend that ComputerLand Shareholders
accept the Offer, as all the ComputerLand Directors have irrevocably undertaken
to do or procure, in respect of their own and their spouses' and related trusts'
beneficial holdings of ComputerLand Shares (unless Capita otherwise acquires
such ComputerLand Shares), which amount in aggregate to 3,810,000 ComputerLand
Shares, representing, approximately 37.3 per cent. of the existing issued share
capital of ComputerLand.

Forward-looking statements

This announcement includes certain statements about ComputerLand or Capita (and
their respective groups and/or subsidiary undertakings) that are or may be
forward-looking statements.  All statements other than statements of historical
facts included in this announcement may be forward-looking statements. These
statements are based on the current expectations of the management of

", "will", "may", "should", "would", "could", "plan" or words of similar meaning
or import.  By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and
uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will
or may occur in the future.  There are a number of factors that could cause
actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in, or
implied by, such forward-looking statements.  These factors include, but are not
limited to, the satisfaction of the conditions to the Offer, and the Capita
Group's ability to successfully integrate the operations and employees of

operating initiatives and restructuring objectives, customers' strategies and
stability, changes in the regulatory environment, fluctuations in interest and

Dealings disclosure requirements

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code, if any person is, or becomes,
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1 per cent. or more of any class of "
relevant securities" of ComputerLand, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities
" of ComputerLand (including by means of an option in respect of, or a
derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly
disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the Business Day following
the date of the relevant transaction.  This requirement will continue until the
date on which the Offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to
acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period"
otherwise ends.  If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or
understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant
securities" of ComputerLand, they will be deemed to be a single person for the
purpose of Rule 8.3.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the City Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of ComputerLand by Capita or ComputerLand, or by any of their
respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London
time) on the Business Day following the date of the relevant transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.

"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities.  In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the City Code, which can also be found
on the Panel's website.  If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are
required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should contact the Panel.

this announcement, you should immediately seek your own personal financial
advice from your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant, fund manager
or other independent financial adviser who,  if you are taking advice in the
United Kingdom, is authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000
and specialises in advising on the acquisition of shares and other securities,
or, if you are taking advice outside the United Kingdom, is an appropriately
authorised independent financial adviser with such a specialism.

Recommended cash offer by The Capita Group PLC ("Capita") for ComputerLand UK
plc ("ComputerLand")

1. Introduction

The boards of Capita and ComputerLand are pleased to announce that they have
reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer to be made by Capita
for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of ComputerLand.

2. The Offer

The Offer will be for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of
ComputerLand and will be subject to the conditions and further terms contained
in Appendix 1 to this announcement and to the conditions and further terms to be
set out in the Offer Document and, in respect of ComputerLand Shares in
certificated form, in the Form of Acceptance.  The Offer will be made on the
following basis:

                 For each ComputerLand Share 270 pence in cash

The terms of the Offer value the current issued and to be issued share capital
of ComputerLand at approximately £28.9 million which represents a premium of
approximately:

(i)               31 per cent. to the Closing Price of 206.0 pence per
ComputerLand Share on 10 March 2008, being the last Business Day prior to this
announcement;

(ii)             40 per cent. to the average Closing Price of approximately
193.2 pence per ComputerLand Share for one month prior to 10 March 2008, being
the last Business Day prior to this announcement;

(iii)            40 per cent. to the average Closing Price of approximately
192.7 pence per ComputerLand Share for three months prior to 10 March 2008,
being the last Business Day prior to this announcement; and

(iv)           27 per cent. to the average Closing Price of approximately 212.1
pence per ComputerLand Share for the 12 months prior to 10 March 2008, being the
last Business Day prior to this announcement.

The ComputerLand Shares will be acquired pursuant to the Offer by Capita fully
paid and free from liens, equities, mortgages, charges, encumbrances, rights of
pre-emption and other third party rights or interests of any nature whatsoever
and together with all rights now or hereafter attaching thereto, including all
voting rights and the right to receive and retain all dividends and other
distributions announced, declared, made or paid on or after the date of this
announcement together with all interest accrued thereon.

3. Background to and reasons for recommending the Offer


ComputerLand focuses on providing organisations with essential IT services
designed to improve business productivity, to increase the quality of IT
services and to reduce IT costs.
ComputerLand's products and services enable customers to improve the
acquisition, implementation, management and support of their IT infrastructure.
ComputerLand employs over 400 full time employees and has a strong customer
base, including O2, British Sugar, Experian and Heinz.

ComputerLand joined AIM on 19 September 1997 with a market capitalisation of £6
million, at an issue price of 100 pence per ComputerLand Share. The ComputerLand
Group's turnover has grown steadily over the last eleven years from £8.4 million
in the year ended 30 April 1996 to £67.0 million in the year ended 30 April
2007. Profit before tax (stated before share-based payments and goodwill
amortisation) has risen from £0.15 million to £2.8 million in the same period.

The year to 30 April 2007 saw ComputerLand's best ever results with sales,
profit before tax  and earnings per share (both stated before share based
payments and goodwill amortisation) all reaching record levels.   The interim
results for the period to 31 October 2007 showed that managed services, project
services and product supply businesses all performed strongly during the first
six months of the financial year to 31 October 2007.  Revenues of the
ComputerLand Group during the six-month period ended 31 October 2007 increased
by 10 per cent. to £33.9 million with services revenues growing by 13 per cent.
to £11.4 million.

The ComputerLand Board believes that the Offer from Capita of 270 pence in cash
per ComputerLand Share provides both an attractive premium and certainty of
value today for ComputerLand Shareholders, particularly given the current
uncertainty in general economic conditions.

Furthermore, the ComputerLand Board also believes that ComputerLand will benefit
significantly from being part of the Enlarged Capita Group.  The Capita Group
has the financial resources and expertise to invest actively in the future
development of the ComputerLand business, thus enhancing ComputerLand's
competitive position.

ComputerLand provides managed IT services and IT product reseller services,
which Capita believes will fit well alongside Capita's IT services businesses.
Capita has had a trading relationship with ComputerLand since 2001. In the year
to 31 December 2007, Capita's turnover with ComputerLand was approximately £11
million.

Capita has received irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer from
ComputerLand Shareholders holding 43.9 per cent. of the existing issued share
capital of ComputerLand including Graham Gilbert who has a beneficial interest
of 37.2 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of ComputerLand.  In the
event of the Offer becoming unconditional in all respects and the ComputerLand
Shares being de-listed, ComputerLand Shareholders who do not accept the Offer
may find that they own shares in an unlisted company controlled by Capita.

As a result, the ComputerLand Board, who has been so advised by Charles Stanley,
unanimously recommends that ComputerLand Shareholders accept the Offer.

4. Unanimous recommendation

The ComputerLand Board, which has been so advised by Charles Stanley,
unanimously considers the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable to
ComputerLand Shareholders as a whole. In providing advice to the ComputerLand
Board, Charles Stanley has taken into account the commercial assessments of the
ComputerLand Directors.

Accordingly, the ComputerLand Directors unanimously recommend ComputerLand
Shareholders to accept the Offer, as all the ComputerLand Directors have
irrevocably undertaken to do or procure, in respect of their own and their
spouses' and related trusts' beneficial holdings of ComputerLand Shares (unless
Capita otherwise acquires such ComputerLand Shares), which amount in aggregate
to 3,810,000 ComputerLand Shares, representing, approximately 37.3 per cent. of
the existing issued share capital of ComputerLand.

5. Background to and reasons for the Offer

ComputerLand provides managed IT services and IT product reseller services,
which Capita believes will fit well alongside Capita's existing IT services
business.  Capita has had a trading relationship with ComputerLand since 2001.
In the year to 31 December 2007, Capita's turnover with ComputerLand was
approximately £11 million.

It is anticipated that ComputerLand will operate as a separate business unit,
drawing upon and sharing Capita's support and sales opportunities.  The Capita
Board believes that the acquisition of ComputerLand has the following
attractions:

(a)     ComputerLand's managed IT services business has a growing, high-quality
customer base and a significant proportion of ComputerLand's product sales are
derived from managed services customers which include O2, British Sugar,
Experian and Heinz. In the year ended 30 April 2007, ComputerLand generated
total revenues of £67 million including contracted revenues of £18.6 million.

(b)     Capita's established leading position in the UK Business Process
Outsourcing market will add further credibility and scale to ComputerLand's
managed services business, allowing the business to bid for a greater range of
substantial opportunities than is currently possible; and

(c)     Capita can retain additional margin within the Enlarged Capita Group, by
directing all of its IT product expenditure through ComputerLand.  In this
regard, Capita spent approximately £11 million on IT product with alternative
suppliers in the year to 31 December 2007.


6. Irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer

As at the date of this document, Capita has received irrevocable undertakings to
accept the Offer in respect of a total of 4,488,773 ComputerLand Shares,
representing 43.9 per cent of the existing issued share capital of ComputerLand
(including in respect of 37.3 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of
ComputerLand in which the ComputerLand Directors have a beneficial interest).
The irrevocable undertakings received by Capita are as follows:

(a)     provided that this announcement is made and the Offer Document is posted
to ComputerLand Shareholders on or before 11:59 p.m. on the date of this
announcement, ComputerLand Directors have given irrevocable undertakings to
accept the Offer (unless Capita has already acquired the ComputerLand Shares the
subject of the irrevocable undertakings) in respect of 3,810,000 ComputerLand
Shares in which they are interested, representing approximately 37.3 per cent.
of the existing issued share capital of ComputerLand.  These irrevocable
undertakings will remain binding in the event of a Competing Offer for
ComputerLand.  The number of ComputerLand Shares to which each undertaking
relates is stated below, together with the proportion of the existing issued
share capital of ComputerLand which those ComputerLand Shares represent:

ComputerLand Directors                  Number of ComputerLand Shares      Percentage of existing issued
                                                                                           share capital
Graham Gilbert*                                             3,800,000                               37.2
Julie Baddeley                                                 10,000                                0.1

*1,000,000 of the ComputerLand Shares of which Graham Gilbert is interested are
held in the name of his spouse, Deborah Gilbert

 (b)    Turcan Connell Solicitors have irrevocably undertaken to accept the
Offer in respect of 335,823 ComputerLand Shares over which it has discretionary
control, representing approximately 3.3 per cent. of the existing issued share
capital of ComputerLand. This undertaking will cease to be binding if a
competing offer is made for ComputerLand which represents a value of not less
than 115 per cent. of the value per ComputerLand Share under the Offer; and

(c)     Northern Venture Trust PLC has irrevocably undertaken to accept the
Offer in respect of 342,950 ComputerLand Shares over which it has discretionary
control, representing approximately 3.4 per cent. of the existing issued share
capital of ComputerLand. This undertaking will cease to be binding if a
competing offer is made for ComputerLand which represents a value of not less
than 115 per cent. of the value per ComputerLand Share under the Offer.

8. Information on and current trading and prospects for, the Capita Group

Capita is a leading provider of integrated professional support service
solutions.  The Capita Group's service capabilities encompass customer services,
insurance services, human resource services, software services, systems and
strategic support and property services delivered to both public sector and

believes there is strong demand for outsourcing and the businesses across the

Capita's successes in 2007 and progress in the first weeks of 2008 underpin its
continued growth in 2008. With healthy sales prospects, Capita is positioned
well for further strong performance thereafter.



9. Financing of the Offer

Full acceptance by all the ComputerLand Shareholders of the Offer would require
a cash payment by Capita of approximately £28.9 million.  The cash consideration
payable under the Offer will be funded from an existing facility and the
existing cash resources of Capita.

Landsbanki is satisfied that the necessary cash resources are available to
Capita through its existing bank facilities to enable Capita to satisfy the
consideration payable as a result of full acceptance of the Offer.


10. ComputerLand management, employees and locations

Capita has given assurances to the ComputerLand Board that, upon the Offer
becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, the existing
contractual employment rights of all employees of the ComputerLand Group,
including pension obligations, will be safeguarded.

Capita has also confirmed that ComputerLand's head office will continue to be
located in Nottingham.

Immediately following the Offer being declared unconditional in all respects,
Capita intends to appoint new directors to the ComputerLand Board and the
existing non-executive ComputerLand Directors, namely Giles Vardey and Julie
Baddeley, will resign from the ComputerLand Board from that time.

11. Inducement Fee

On 10 March 2008, ComputerLand entered into an agreement with Capita (with the
consent of the Panel) pursuant to which, provided that Capita had made this
announcement, posted the Offer Document to the ComputerLand Shareholders and
acquired not less than 30 per cent. of the ComputerLand Shares on or before 11:
59 p.m. on the date of this announcement, ComputerLand has agreed, inter alia,
to pay Capita a fee equal to 1 per cent. of the value of the Offer (inclusive of
non-recoverable value added tax) if, following this announcement:

(a) (i)   any director of ComputerLand:



(A)       withdraws or qualifies that recommendation; or



(B)       modifies it in a manner which is adverse to Capita or which reduces
          the likelihood of the Offer becoming wholly unconditional; and



(ii)  subsequently the Offer lapses or is withdrawn in accordance with its terms
in relation to the non-fulfilment of the condition requiring a minimum of 90 per
cent. acceptances of the Offer, whether or not the Offer also lapses or is
withdrawn in relation to the non-fulfilment of any other condition; or



(b)  during the period before the Offer becomes or is declared wholly
unconditional or lapses or is withdrawn, either:



(i)   a public announcement is made in respect of an actual or contemplated
Competing Offer and the Offer subsequently lapses or is withdrawn in accordance
with its terms in relation to the non-fulfilment of the condition requiring a
minimum of 90 per cent. acceptances of the Offer, whether or not the Offer also
lapses or is withdrawn in relation to the non-fulfilment of any other condition;
or



(ii)  any other Substantial Transaction is publicly announced and the Offer
subsequently lapses or is withdrawn in accordance with its terms in relation to
the non-fulfilment of the condition requiring a minimum of 90 per cent.
acceptances of the Offer, whether or not the Offer also lapses or is withdrawn
in relation to the non-fulfilment of any other condition.



12. ComputerLand Share Schemes

The Offer extends to any ComputerLand Shares which are unconditionally allotted
or issued fully paid (or credited as fully paid) before the date on which the
Offer ceases to be open for acceptance (or such earlier date as Capita, subject
to the City Code, may decide) as a result of the exercise of options or the
vesting of awards granted under the ComputerLand Share Schemes.

If the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, appropriate
proposals will be made by Capita to participants holding outstanding options or
awards pursuant to the ComputerLand Share Schemes in due course.

13. Disclosure of interests in ComputerLand relevant securities

As at the date of this announcement, neither Capita, nor any of the Capita
Directors, nor, so far as Capita or the Capita Directors are aware, any person
acting in concert with Capita for the purposes of the Offer, owns or controls
any ComputerLand Shares or any securities convertible or exchangeable into
ComputerLand Shares or any rights to subscribe for or purchase the same, or
holds any options (including traded options) in respect of, or has any option to
acquire, any ComputerLand Shares or has entered into any derivatives referenced
to ComputerLand Shares ("Relevant ComputerLand Securities") which remain
outstanding or has a short position (including a short position under a
derivative, an agreement to sell or a delivery obligation or right to require
another person to take delivery), nor does any such person have any arrangement
in relation to Relevant ComputerLand Securities. For these purposes,
"arrangement" includes any indemnity or option arrangement, any agreement or
understanding, formal or informal, of whatever nature, relating to Relevant
ComputerLand Securities which may be an inducement to deal or refrain from
dealing in such shares and any borrowing or lending of Relevant ComputerLand
Securities that have been on-lent or sold.

14. Compulsory acquisition, de-listing, cancellation of trading and
re-registration

Following the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects,
Capita intends as soon as practicable and in accordance with the AIM Rules to
procure the making of an application by ComputerLand to the London Stock
Exchange for the cancellation of admission to trading of ComputerLand Shares on
AIM and also intends that ComputerLand be re-registered as a private company
under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act.  If this cancellation
occurs, it will significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any
ComputerLand Shares not assented to the Offer, and their value may be affected
in consequence.  It is anticipated that the cancellation of admission to trading
on AIM will take effect no earlier than 20 Business Days after the date on which
the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects.  Capita intends
to exercise its rights pursuant to the provisions of sections 979 to 982
inclusive of the Companies Act to acquire compulsorily, on the same terms as the
Offer, any outstanding ComputerLand Shares in respect of which the Offer has not
been accepted.


15. Further details of the Offer

There are no agreements or arrangements to which Capita is a party which relate
to the circumstances in which it may or may not invoke or seek to invoke a
condition of the Offer.

16. Overseas ComputerLand Shareholders

in the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of their relevant
jurisdiction. Such persons should inform themselves of, and observe, any
applicable legal or regulatory requirements of their jurisdiction.

Forward-looking statements

This announcement includes certain statements about ComputerLand or Capita (and
their respective groups and/or subsidiary undertakings) that are or may be
forward-looking statements.  All statements other than statements of historical
facts included in this announcement may be forward-looking statements. These
statements are based on the current expectations of the management of
ComputerLand or Capita (as the case may be) and are naturally subject to
uncertainty and changes in circumstances.  The forward-looking statements
contained herein may include statements about the expected effects on
ComputerLand or Capita, following the Offer becoming or being declared
unconditional in all respects, the expected timing and scope of the Offer,
anticipated earnings enhancements, estimated cost savings and other synergies,
costs to be incurred in achieving synergies, other strategic options and all
other statements in this document other than historical facts.  Forward-looking
statements include, without limitation, statements typically containing words
such as "intend", "expect", "anticipate", "target", "estimate", "goal", "believe
", "will", "may", "should", "would", "could", "plan" or words of similar meaning
or import.  By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and
uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will
or may occur in the future.  There are a number of factors that could cause
actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in, or
implied by, such forward-looking statements.  These factors include, but are not
limited to, the satisfaction of the conditions to the Offer, and the Capita
Group's ability to successfully integrate the operations and employees of
ComputerLand, as well as additional factors, such as changes in economic
conditions, changes in the level of capital investment, success of business and
operating initiatives and restructuring objectives, customers' strategies and
stability, changes in the regulatory environment, fluctuations in interest and
exchange rates, the outcome of litigation, government actions and natural
phenomena such as floods, earthquakes and hurricanes.  Other unknown or
unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those
in the forward-looking statements.  Investors should not place undue reliance on
such forward-looking statements and neither ComputerLand nor Capita undertakes
any obligation to update publicly or revise forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent
legally required.

Dealings disclosure requirements

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code, if any person is, or becomes,
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1 per cent. or more of any class of "
relevant securities" of ComputerLand, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities
" of ComputerLand (including by means of an option in respect of, or a
derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly
disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the Business Day following
the date of the relevant transaction.  This requirement will continue until the
date on which the Offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to
acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period"
otherwise ends.  If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or
understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant
securities" of ComputerLand, they will be deemed to be a single person for the
purpose of Rule 8.3.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the City Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of ComputerLand by Capita or ComputerLand, or by any of their
respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London
time) on the Business Day following the date of the relevant transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.

"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities.  In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the City Code, which can also be found
on the Panel's website.  If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are
required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should contact the Panel.

If you are in any doubt as to what action you should take, or the contents of
this announcement, you should immediately seek your own personal financial
advice from your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant, fund manager
or other independent financial adviser who,  if you are taking advice in the
United Kingdom, is authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000
and specialises in advising on the acquisition of shares and other securities,
or, if you are taking advice outside the United Kingdom, is an appropriately
authorised independent financial adviser with such a specialism.

ComputerLand Shares carrying, in aggregate, more than 50 per cent. of the voting
rights then exercisable at general meetings of ComputerLand, including for this
