About Libertas Capital Group plc

Libertas Capital, based in the UK, provides a range of financial services to

the Nordic region and North America. The Company was established to take
advantage of the recovery in the equity capital markets and to maximise the
opportunities in the small to medium sized company sector.
Libertas Capital is focussed on environmental sciences, medical technology and

profitably for the period to 31 December 2003 and has traded profitably since
that date. Libertas Capital has an experienced management team led by Jakob
Kinde, Executive Chairman and Henry Okereke, CEO. The Directors believe that
their past experience, network of contacts and track record of successfully
completed transactions with companies in their core regions and sectors referred
to above will result in a strong flow of introductions.
