powers of the company to allot relevant securities (as defined in sub-section
(2) of the said section 80) up to an aggregate nominal amount of #274,973 in
respect of the allotment; provided that such authority shall expire (unless
previously revoked, varied or extended by the company in general meeting) five
years after the passing of this resolution save that the company may before such
expiry make an offer or agreement which would or might require relevant
securities to be allotted after such expiry and the directors may allot relevant
securities in pursuance of such offer or agreement as if the power conferred
hereby had not expired.

As Special Business:

5. That, conditional upon the passing of resolution 4 above, the directors be
and they are hereby empowered (in substitution for any such existing powers)
pursuant to section 95 of the act to allot equity securities (as defined in
section 94 of the act) for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by paragraph
(a) above as if sub-section (1) of section 89 of the act did not apply to any
such allotment provided that this power shall be limited to the allotment of
equity securities up to an aggregate nominal amount of #137,486; and such power
shall expire (unless previously revoked, varied or extended by the company in

Explanatory Notes to Resolutions 4, 5 and 6:

Resolution no. 4 will be proposed as an ordinary resolution to authorise the
directors to allot shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of #274,973
representing 30 per cent. of the total ordinary share capital in issue, such
authority to expire at 5 years after the passing of the resolution. This
authority replaces the resolution passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting of
22 December 2005 and will expire 5 years after the passing of the resolution.

Resolution no. 5 will be proposed as a special resolution to authorise the
directors to allot equity securities for cash (otherwise than pro rata to
existing shareholders) in connection with a rights issue which is made not
strictly in accordance with section 89 of the Companies Act 1985 or otherwise up
to a maximum aggregate nominal value of #137,486 (representing 15 per cent. of
the ordinary share capital of the Company presently in issue). This authority
replaces the resolution passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting of 22
December 2005 and will expire 5 years after the passing of the resolution. The
resolution will enable the directors, at their discretion, to allot a limited
number of extra securities for cash and also provide the directors with greater
flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise.

Resolution no. 6 will be proposed as a special resolution to replace the
Company's existing articles of association. The reason for adopting new articles
of association is that pursuant to Article 3.3 of the current articles of
association all of the A ordinary shares were, on 23 November 2004, consolidated
and converted into Ordinary Shares and references have therefore been deleted.

In addition, the Companies Act 1985 has been amended to grant wider indemnities
to directors and officers than previously. This allows for the Company to assist
directors or officers with the cost of both criminal and civil proceedings
brought against him by a third party, as they are incurred. Copies of the new
articles of association will be available from the Company's registered office
from the date of the notice of the Annual General Meeting until the date of the
Annual General Meeting and at the place of the Annual General Meeting for at
least 15 minutes prior to and until the conclusion of the Annual General
Meeting.
