   NOTES: 
 1.         All resolutions were passed. 
 2.         Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman 
             of the AGM have been included in the "For" total for 
             the appropriate resolution 
 3.         Votes "For" and "Against" any resolution are expressed 
             as a percentage of votes validly cast for that resolution. 
 4.         A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted 
             in the calculation of the percentage of shares voted 
             "For" or "Against" any resolution nor in the calculation 
             of the proportion of "Total issued share capital instructed" 
             for any resolution.

             Ordinary share of GBP1 each in treasury. 
 6.         The proportion of "Total issued share capital instructed"

             for that resolution (i.e. the total votes "For" and 
             "Against" that resolution) expressed as a percentage 
             of the Share Capital.
