                                            have yet to be admitted to trading 
                                            on AIM. Consequently, the ADRs are 
                                            (pending the shares' admission to 
                                            trading) financial instruments with 
                                            similar economic effect to a qualifying 
                                            instrument rather than qualifying 
                                            financial instruments. When the shares 
                                            are admitted to trading they will 
                                            become qualifying financial instruments.
