                   New Bank Facility and Portfolio Valuation                   

ADL plc ("ADL"), the AIM listed long term healthcare provider, which currently
owns and operates nine care homes, with 311 operational beds, and manages a
further two care homes, with 63 operational beds, on a partnership or joint
venture basis is pleased to announce that today it signed a new £25 million
Facility Agreement with IXIS Corporate & Investment Bank S.A. ("the Facility").

The Facility will be initially used, up to a maximum aggregate amount of £11
million:

* To refinance ADL's existing borrowings with Fortis Bank S.A./N.V.;

* To finance the acquisitions of two 40 bed homes, for which conditional
  contracts are expected to be signed shortly; and

* To pay the costs and fees relating to the Facility and the proposed
  acquisitions.

The balance of the Facility is available to ADL for further acquisitions, as
they are identified, subject in each case to the prior approval of IXIS
Corporate & Investment Bank.

A key feature of the Facility is a reduction in the interest rate margin from
the current 1.5% over LIBOR to 1.00% over LIBOR subject to cash flow cover.

The Facility required ADL to have its portfolio of care homes re-valued by
Christie & Co at 31 March 2006. The 9 freehold care homes, the South Garth
Residential Care Partnership and the joint venture with Newford Limited, were
valued on a portfolio basis, at £14.377 million (31 March 2005: £13 million)
resulting in a valuation surplus of £1.377 million which has been credited to
revaluation reserve. On this basis, the Directors of ADL estimate that the net
assets per share at 31 March 2006 were approximately 82p (31 March 2005: 68.7p
per share).
