Further to the Company's announcement on 24 June 2003 regarding, inter alia, the
granting of options to Directors, the Company announces that the proposed option
price of 2.5p per share referred to in that announcement has not been approved
by the Inland Revenue.

The Company has therefore today re-granted the options over 3,000,000 ordinary
shares to Paul Nathan and 2,000,000 ordinary shares to Gabriel Behr, all of
which are exercisable within 10 years of the date of grant at an exercise price
of 4.125p per share, being the closing price of the Company's shares on AIM on
30 October 2003 (which is the price which has now been approved by the Inland
Revenue).

In addition to the above options, the Company has today also granted options
over 2,000,000 ordinary shares to Jon Summerill, all of which are exercisable
within 10 years of the date of grant at the exercise price referred to above.
