                            Notice of General Meeting 
 
Introduction 
On 12 October 2010, the Company announced that it was in advanced negotiations 
with a potential new investor in respect of an injection of up to GBP225,000 of 
new capital.  The new funding is required in order to enable the Company to 
discharge its liabilities under the CVA, which was approved by creditors and 
Shareholders in May of this year, and to provide working capital for the 
foreseeable future. 
It is proposed that the new capital will be injected by way of a convertible 
loan note which, if converted in full, would result in the Lender being 
interested in more than 50 per cent. of the Company's voting share capital.  As 
such, the capital injection is conditional on the approval of Shareholders of a 
waiver of Rule 9 of the Takeover Code. 
Since the proposed conversion price of the Lender Loan Notes is less than the 
current nominal value of the Company's share capital, it is also necessary for 
Shareholders to approve a subdivision of the Company's share capital in order to 
reduce the nominal value to 0.01p per share. 
A circular is being sent to shareholders today to convene a general meeting at 
10.00am on 1 November at the offices of Daniel Stewart, 36 Old Jewry, London 
EC2R 8DD for the purposes of considering and if through fit, passing the 
Resolutions.  The circular also contains the notice of the annual general 
meeting to be held at 10.00am on 8 November. 
Shareholders should be aware that the ability of the Company to retain its 
admission to AIM is dependent on the Resolutions being passed and further, if 
any of the Resolutions are not passed then the proposed injection of capital 
will not proceed and the Company may need to consider commencing liquidation 
proceedings. 
 
Background to the Rule 9 Waiver 
On 26 April 2010, the Company announced that it had posted a circular to 
Shareholders convening a general meeting for the purpose of considering and, if 
thought fit, approving the terms of the CVA.   This was duly approved by 
Shareholders at the general meeting on 13 May 2010. 
Under the terms of the CVA, the Company's ordinary unsecured creditors agreed to 
accept a settlement of two pence in the pound.   The Directors estimate that the 
total amount required to discharge the CVA is approximately GBP55,000. 
The Directors have pursued a number of different funding opportunities in recent 
months but without success.  The resignation of the Company's previous nominated 
adviser on 24 August 2010 placed an additional constraint on the Company by 
imposing a deadline for any deal to be concluded and for the Company to appoint 
a new nominated adviser and thus avoid a cancellation of the trading on AIM of 
the Company's issued share capital. 
The Company has agreed with John McKeon (the "Lender") to inject GBP225,000 in 
order to enable the Company to discharge the CVA and to provide sufficient 
working capital to finance the Company for the foreseeable future. 
John has spent over fifteen years in stock broking, corporate finance, property 
and project finance.  He has been a lead manager of private equity and 
institutional dealing teams successfully raising funds for several Official 
List, AIM and internationally listed companies.  In addition to co-founding 
Circle Oil plc in 2003 and acting as an executive director until 2008, he has 
experience in international mergers and acquisitions, debt re-structuring and 
corporate advisory services. John also acted as a principal in the management 
buy-out of US$600 million worth of European infrastructure assets, formerly part 
of Metro Media Fibre Networks Inc; and in the subsequent reverse take-over by a 
listed Singaporean group.    John currently works as a consultant for AIM listed 
The Niche group Plc. 
Under the proposed terms of the Lender Loan Notes, the Lender will advance 
GBP225,000 to the Company by way of the Lender Loan Notes. The Lender Loan Notes 
are redeemable in 12 months from the day of the General Meeting and may be 
converted, in whole or in part, at any time during the period, at the discretion 
of the Lender, into up to 562,500,000 New Ordinary Shares at a conversion price 
of 0.04p. 
In addition the Lender will be granted warrants over up to a further 562,500,000 
New Ordinary Shares, exercisable at 0.5p per New Ordinary Shares, in whole or in 
part, at any time in the five years following the date of the General Meeting. 
Pursuant to the Lender Conversion Agreement, The Lender has agreed to convert 
GBP85,538.07 of the Lender Loan Notes into 213,845,175 New Ordinary Shares 
immediately following the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting. 
This will result in the Lender being interested in 213,845,175 New Ordinary 
Shares, representing 54.63 per cent. of the Company's Enlarged Share Capital. 
The conversion in full of the remaining GBP139,461.93 of Lender Loan Notes would 
result in the Lender being interested in aggregate in 562,500,000 New Ordinary 
Shares, representing approximately 76.01 per cent. of the Company's voting 
capital, as so enlarged. The exercise in full of the Lender Warrants would 
result in the Lender being interested in 1,125,000,000 New Ordinary Shares in 
aggregate, representing 86.37 per cent. of the Company's further enlarged voting 
capital, assuming that no other warrants or options were exercised. 
The Lender Loan Notes are conditional upon the passing of the Resolutions. 
 
Palmdale 
Palmdale currently has an outstanding secured debt from the Company of 
approximately GBP840,000.  Pursuant to the Palmdale Conversion Agreement, 
Palmdale has agreed to convert GBP207,509.72 of the Palmdale Debt into 
20,750,972 Ordinary Shares, ranking parri passu with the Company's existing 
Ordinary Shares.  These Shares have been issued and application has been made 
for their admission to trading on AIM which is expected to occur, and dealings 
commence, at 8.00am on 20 October.  Following the issue of these Shares, 
Palmdale will be interested in 20,750,972 Ordinary Shares, representing 29.99 
per cent. of the Company's Issued Share Capital. 
Pursuant to the Palmdale Redemption Agreement, Palmdale has also agreed, 
conditional upon the passing of the Resolutions, for the remaining outstanding 
secured debt, which will amount to approximately GBP632,490, to be satisfied by 
the issue of the Palmdale Debt Shares and the Palmdale Loan Notes.  Following 
the issue of the Palmdale Debt Shares, Palmdale will be interested in 
117,383,599 New Ordinary Shares in aggregate, representing 29.99 per cent. of 
the Enlarged Share Capital. 
Palmdale have also indemnified the Company in respect of the final liabilities 
due for settlement under the terms of the CVA not exceeding GBP40,000, compared 
to the Directors' estimate of the final total being GBP55,000.  Since Palmdale 
are due approximately GBP20,000 under the CVA, the effect of this indemnity is 
to limit the Company's liability by reducing the amount to be repaid to 
Palmdale. 
Director Warrants 
The Company has entered into a Deed of Warrant, conditional on the passing of 
the Resolutions, with the Directors, pursuant to which the Directors will 
receive warrants to subscribe for 11,742,274 New Ordinary Shares, in aggregate, 
at an exercise price of GBP0.0004 exercisable for a period of 5 years following 
the date of the agreement.  Daniel Stewart, as the Company's independent adviser 
consider the terms of the Director Warrants to be fair and reasonable. 
Share Capital Subdivision 
The conversion price pursuant to the Lender Conversion Agreement is 0.04p.  The 
Act provides that a company may only lawfully issue new shares for a 
subscription price at or above the nominal value of those shares.  In order that 
the Company may issue shares in respect of the Lender Conversion Agreement and 
the Lender Warrants, the Company proposes to subdivide each existing Ordinary 
Share into one New Ordinary Share of 0.01p each and one Deferred Share of 0.99p 
each. 
The New Ordinary Shares will have the same rights as those currently attaching 
to the Ordinary Shares under the Company's current articles of association, 
including those relating to voting and entitlement to dividends. 
The Deferred Shares will not entitle the holder thereof to receive notice of or 
attend and vote at any general meeting of the Company or to receive a dividend 
or other distribution or to participate in any return on capital on a winding up 
other than the nominal amount paid on such shares.  Subject to the passing of 
the Resolutions, the Company will have the right to purchase the Deferred Shares 
from all Shareholders for a consideration of GBP1 in aggregate.  As such the 
Deferred Shares effectively have no value.  Share certificates will not be 
issued in respect of the Deferred Shares. 
Subject to the Share Capital Subdivision being approved by Shareholders, share 
certificates for the Ordinary Shares will cease to be valid and new share 
certificates will be issued on 9 November 2010. In the case of Shareholders 
whose shares are held through the CREST system, the New Ordinary Shares will be 
credited to CREST accounts on 2 November 2010.  Pending receipt of new 
certificates, Shareholders will still be able to trade in New Ordinary Shares 
and transfers of New Ordinary Shares held in certificated form will be certified 
against the register of members of the Company. 
Irrevocable Voting Commitments 
The Company has received irrevocable voting commitments from Palmdale and 
Dexapoint in favour of all of the resolutions.  These voting commitments are in 
respect of 28,839,305 Ordinary Shares, representing 41.68 per cent. of the 
Company's Issued Share Capital. 
Shareholders should be aware that the Proposals are conditional upon the passing 
of all the Resolutions.  If any of the Resolutions is not passed then the 
proposed injection of capital will not proceed and the Company may need to 
consider commencing liquidation proceedings.  In addition, the continuing 
appointment of the Company's nominated adviser, without which the Company's 
admission to AIM may be at risk, is also dependent on the Proposals being 
implemented. 
Trading on AIM in the Company's shares will remain suspended until after the 
General Meeting.
