Net Asset Value as at 30 September 2007

The net asset values of the Ordinary Shares and the C Shares as at the

On the basis of the Conversion Ratio, a holder of 100,000 C Shares will receive
34,581 new Ordinary Shares on Conversion and the same ratio will be applied to
smaller and larger holdings. Fractional entitlements will be aggregated and sold
for the benefit of the Company.

The balance of the nominal value of the C Shares which is not converted into
Ordinary Shares will be converted into Deferred Shares on the Conversion Date,
which will be immediately repurchased by Oryx for aggregate consideration of 1
pence in accordance with the provisions in the Articles of Association of Oryx.
On repurchase, each Deferred Share shall be treated as cancelled and the
resulting authorised but unissued share capital shall ipso facto be consolidated
and, to the maximum extent possible, reclassified and redesignated as Ordinary
Shares.

The new Ordinary Shares arising on Conversion will rank pari passu with the
existing Ordinary Shares in issue.

The Directors have determined that the Conversion Date will be 12 October 2007.
Entitlements on Conversion will be calculated on the basis of holdings of C
Shares and New Warrants as at the close of business on 11 October 2007.
