1. INTRODUCTION

Further to the announcement on 6 January, the Company is pleased to report changes to the Board, a proposed Share Capital Reorganisation and that it has entered into non legally binding heads of terms with a Financial Institution in respect of a SEDA for up to £2 million.

Pursuant to the Board changes, Lynda Chase-Gardener has become Executive Chairman of the Company and Euan McAlpine will remain on the Board as an Executive Director. William Voaden and David Shaw have resigned from the Board with immediate effect.

In the interim results announcement on 29 September 2011, the Company reported that, despite revenues increasing in the six month period ended 30 June 2011, the Company was still experiencing operational cash outflows. As announced on 19 July 2011, the Company raised net proceeds of £1.22 million pursuant to a placing and the Company's shares were subsequently restored to trading on AIM, however operational cash outflows have continued in the period since 30 June 2011.

In order to assist in funding the development of the Group's business, ongoing working capital requirements and the £250,000 still outstanding and to be paid to the Supervisor of the CVA, the Company has entered into the SEDA Heads of Terms with the Financial Institution. The heads of terms are non-legally binding and are subject to conditions including the completion of legal and financial due diligence. It is the Board's intention to enter into a legally binding agreement in the near future and a further announcement will be made at that time. Under the proposed SEDA, the Financial Institution would subscribe in tranches for up to a maximum of £2 million of the Company's Ordinary Shares over a period of up to 36 months.

The middle market price of the Company's ordinary shares is, as at the close of business on 9 January 2012 (being the latest practicable date prior to the date of this announcement), below the nominal value of an Existing Ordinary Share of 0.1p. In addition the Company currently has over 3.9 billion Existing Ordinary Shares in issue.

Under English law, the Company is unable to issue ordinary shares at a price below their nominal value, therefore the Share Capital Reorganisation has been proposed to enable the Company to issue new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the SEDA. The Company would not be able to utilise the SEDA until the Share Capital Reorganisation has been implemented. The Share Capital Reorganisation will also reduce the total number of ordinary shares in issue.

Pursuant to the Share Capital Reorganisation every 100 Existing Ordinary Shares of 0.1p each will be consolidated into 1 ordinary share of 10p each, following which, such ordinary shares of 10p each in the capital of the Company will be sub-divided into 1 Ordinary Share of 0.1p each and 99 Deferred Shares of 0.1p each. The value of the Deferred Shares will effectively be zero. To the extent that the number of Existing Ordinary Shares held by a Shareholder is not a multiple of 100, such Existing Ordinary Shares will not be consolidated as set out above, but will instead each be redesignated as a new Deferred Share. The maximum potential loss by each Shareholder as a result of the Share Capital Reorganisation is up to 99 Existing Ordinary Shares.

Three examples are set out below to demonstrate the effect on a Shareholder's holding of Existing Ordinary Shares in the Company if the Share Capital Reorganisation is implemented:

Note: Shareholders can still buy or sell Existing Ordinary Shares up to the close of trading on 26 January 2012 in order to minimise any potential losses due to the share capital reorganisation.

As such, the Directors have convened a General Meeting for 10.00 a.m. on 26 January 2012 in order to allow Shareholders to consider, and, if thought fit, approve the Resolutions.

The purpose of the Circular is to provide Shareholders with information regarding the Board Changes, the SEDA and the Share Capital Reorganisation and to explain why the Directors consider the Share Capital Reorganisation to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and to seek Shareholders' approval of the Resolutions in order that the Share Capital Reorganisation can be effected.

2. Board Changes

Pursuant to the Board changes, Lynda Chase-Gardener has become Executive Chairman of the Company and Euan McAlpine will remain on the Board as an Executive Director. William Voaden and David Shaw have resigned from the Board with immediate effect.

Ms Chase-Gardener has more than 20 years of experience in quarrying and landfill operations and has an in depth knowledge of the dynamics of the aggregates market, having previously been managing director of Chaselet Limited (formerly Bucbricks Company Limited) for 16 years until its sale in 2007. During the last 10 years Lynda has been a member and Chairman of the Quarry Products Association, overseeing its merger with the British Cement Association and the Concrete Centre in 2009. She was also the founding chairman of the Mineral Products Association, the representative body for the UK aggregates, asphalt, cement, concrete, lime, mortar and silica sand industries until she stepped down in September 2009. Lynda is also a member of the representative body to promote health and safety in all sectors of the quarrying and associated industries, the Quarries National Joint Advisory Committee.

Ms Chase-Gardener was appointed to the Board on 1 September 2011 and, together with the other Directors, will seek to continue to drive the further development of the business and build shareholder value.

Mr Voaden is stepping down from the plc Board for personal reasons. The Company has entered into a compromise agreement with Mr Voaden pursuant to which Mr Voaden will step down from the Board but he will continue to provide consultancy services to the Company's subsidiaries with a specific focus on operations in Canada.

The Company has also agreed to extend the exercise period relating to warrants over 23,194,444 Ordinary Shares that are held by Serata Holdings Limited, a company owned by Mr Voaden, which have an exercise price of 0.35p per Ordinary Share. The exercise period for these warrants will therefore be extended by three years to 31 July 2015. Following the change to the exercise period noted above, Serata Holdings Limited will hold warrants over a total of 53,881,729 Existing Ordinary Shares on the following terms:

In addition the Company has an existing obligation, which relates to a placing conducted in July 2010, to grant further warrants over 22,500,000 Ordinary Shares with an exercise price of 0.2p per share. These warrants will have an exercise period of 3 years from the date of grant. The Company intends to grant these further warrants shortly. All of the figures noted above are stated prior to the proposed implementation of the Share Capital Reorganisation.

The Board would like to thank both Mr Voaden and Mr Shaw for their contributions to the Company during their tenure as directors of the Company.

3. SEDA HEADS OF TERMS

On 19 July 2011, the Company announced that it had entered into non legally binding heads of terms with a third party financial institution in respect of an equity backed revolving finance facility to raise US$500,000 which might be increased to up to US$2,000,000, subject to certain conditions, and a standby equity distribution agreement to raise up to a further £3,000,000. However, after further consideration, the Company decided not to progress with either of those funding options at that time.

Instead, the Company has today entered into the SEDA Heads of Terms with a Financial Institution. The SEDA Heads of Terms are non-legally binding and are subject to conditions including the completion of legal and financial due diligence. It is the Board's intention to enter into a legally binding agreement shortly and a further announcement will be made at that time. Under the proposed SEDA, the Financial Institution would agree to subscribe in tranches ("Advances") for up to a maximum of £2 million of the Company's Ordinary Shares over a period of up to 36 months. As noted above, since the current share price of the Existing Ordinary Shares is below their nominal value the Company would not be able to utilise the SEDA until the Share Capital Reorganisation has been implemented.

4. SHARE CAPITAL REORGANISATION

Resolutions 1 and 2 contained in the Notice set out the proposed Share Capital Reorganisation as detailed above. The rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares, following the Share Capital Reorganisation, including voting and dividend rights will be the same as those attaching to the Existing Ordinary Shares. The Deferred Shares created pursuant to the Share Capital Reorganisation will have no voting rights or rights to receive a dividend and will only have a very limited right to any distribution on a return of capital. Shareholders will not be issued with a share certificate in respect of the Deferred Shares and should consider them worthless. The Company will also have the right to acquire the Deferred Shares for a nominal sum from all Shareholders. No application will be made for the Deferred Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM or any other stock exchange. There are no immediate plans to purchase or cancel the Deferred Shares.

New share certificates representing the Ordinary Shares will be issued following the Share Capital Reorganisation.

5. General Meeting

The General Meeting will be held at 10.00 a.m. on 26 January 2012 at the offices of Memery Crystal, 44 Southampton Buildings, London WC2A 1AP at which the Resolutions will be proposed:

(i) to approve the Share Capital Reorganisation; and

(ii) to amend the articles of association of the Company.

6. Recommendation

The Directors believe that the Share Capital Reorganisation is in the best of interests of Shareholders as a whole and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of their own shareholdings, amounting in aggregate to 170,730,550 Existing Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 4.37 per cent. of the Existing Share Capital).
