BLOCK LISTING TOP UP AND TVR UPDATE

The Company announces that it has, today, applied to the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange for the block listing of a further 40,000 Ordinary Shares of 5p each fully paid, ranking pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary shares. This application is the second top up to the block listing application announced on 8th March 2007 pursuant to the Company's Employee Share Option Scheme.

The Company also announces, following allocations made under this block listing, that the total number of shares in issue and Total Voting Rights are now 81,202,819.

The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury and, therefore the above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company.
