PRESS RELEASE

Penmc Plc


Penmc plc announces that a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group, Kingsbridge
Advisers Limited ("Kingsbridge"), yesterday appointed receivers.  The directors
are not aware of any external creditors who will not be paid in full.  The
Company has operated in the financial services market and withdrew from that in
practical terms when its business was sold on the 23 October 2003 since when it
has had no employees or approved advisor.  The directors believe that this
action was appropriate in allowing the parent to become a clean shell as all
trading businesses have now been disposed of in a manner that provides comfort
to any business reversing into the quoted shell.
