    Posting of Shareholder Circular


    Hydrodec originally announced on 4 April 2008 its proposed offer to acquire the entire issued share capital of Virotec International plc
("Virotec") (the "Acquisition"). On 7 May 2008, Hydrodec and Virotec announced that the Hydrodec Independent Directors and the Virotec
Independent Directors had reached agreement on the terms of the recommended acquisition whereby Hydrodec will acquire, for shares and cash,
the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Virotec, to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under sections 895
to 901 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme").

    The Directors of Hydrodec note the announcement today by Virotec that the Scheme Document, which sets out, amongst other things, the
full terms and conditions of the Scheme and an explanatory statement, together with the action to be taken by Virotec shareholders, is being
posted to Virotec shareholders today. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Scheme, it is currently expected that
the Scheme will become effective on 25 June 2008.

    The Directors of Hydrodec announce that a circular containing further information on the Acquisition, the Scheme and the Disposal and a
notice convening a general meeting of Hydrodec to be held on 6 June 2008 (the "General Meeting") at which resolutions will be proposed in
order to enable Hydrodec to complete the Acquisition, has been posted to Hydrodec shareholders and will shortly be made available for
viewing on the Company's website (www.hydrodec.com).

    The General Meeting is to be held at 10.00 a.m. on 6 June 2008 at 80 Cannon Street, London EC4 6HL. It is currently expected that the
Scheme will become effective on 25 June 2008.
