The Company announces that for the quarter ending 30 June 2003 its Chairman has
agreed to take part of his fees, and its Non-executive directors have agreed to
take all of their fees in a mixture of cash and Ordinary Shares in the capital
of the Company, pursuant to resolutions of the Board made on 18 December 2001
and 16 October 2002.

The payment in shares for the fees due at 30 June 2003 have been calculated
utilising the Company's mid-market share price at 27 June 2003.

The directors must hold the shares for a minimum period of 3 years.

In relation to the above, application has been made for 18,562 Ordinary Shares
of 25p each to be admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and
to trading on the London Stock Exchange on 15 April 2003, and will be allotted

Gordon Owen     7,653 
Ian Buckley     3,255
Anita Frew      3,827
Tony Knox       3,827
   
               18,562

 
These shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in the 
capital of the Company.

shares in the Capital of the Company:
