from the admission to trading on AIM of the Fundraising Shares ("Admission"), 
creating 10,000,000 warrants (the "Fundraising Warrants").

volume weighted average Ordinary Share price trade for 5 consecutive days at 6 
pence or greater following which the Company will have the right to issue 
Warrant holders with a two week notice to exercise their Fundraising Warrants.

Warrants exercised under this notice must be fully paid up to the Company within 
10 business days of notification being made to the Company that the Fundraising

enlarged issued share capital of the Company and has been issued to a 
combination of mainly new investors and certain existing shareholders.
