you subsequently dispose of, all or some of the Ordinary Shares arising on
conversion. No stamp duty reserve tax or stamp duty will be payable on the
exercise of Conversion Rights. If you are in any doubt concerning your tax
position, you should consult your professional adviser before taking action.
PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE OF CONVERSION RIGHTS
If you wish to exercise your right to convert all or part of your holding of
Warrants into Ordinary Shares on or before 31st August 2004, you should complete
the notice of conversion endorsed on the certificate relating to the Warrants to

St. Peter Port,

Channel Islands, GY1 3NF
as soon as possible and in any event so that it is received not later than 31st

A notice of conversion, once given, may not be withdrawn without the consent in

damaged, defaced, lost, stolen or destroyed, it/they may be replaced on
application to the Company's registrars, Management International (Guernsey)
Limited, at the above address with such conditions as to evidence and indemnity
as the directors may require and, in the case of defacement, the surrender of
the defaced Warrant certificate(s).
If you wish all or any of the Ordinary Shares to be issued on conversion to be
registered in a name or names other than your own, you should make application
to the Company's registrars, Management International (Guernsey) Limited, at the
address shown above for a form or forms of nomination and send it/them with your
Warrant certificate(s) in accordance with the instructions given above.
If you wish all or any of the Ordinary Shares to be issued on conversion to be
held in uncertificated form, you should contact the Company's registrars,

Ordinary Shares arising on conversion will rank pari passu in all respects with
the Ordinary Shares in issue on 31st August 2004.

issued pursuant to the Exercise Rights to be admitted to the Official List.
Ordinary Shares arising on conversion shall be allotted to the holders of the
Warrants exercised not later than 14 days after, and with effect from, the
Exercise Date and certificates in respect of such shares shall be issued not
later than 42 days after the relevant Exercise Date together with (if
appropriate) separate certificates for any balance of Warrants not exercised.
Pending the issue of such certificate(s) transfers will be certified against the
register.
The purpose of this letter is solely to remind you of your right to exercise
your Warrants to obtain Ordinary Shares. It is not intended in any way to convey
a recommendation to you to exercise any such right or to refrain from doing so.
If you are in any doubt as to whether or not to exercise your Warrants, you
should consult your professional adviser.
Yours faithfully,
Management International (Guernsey) Limited,
Company Secretary.
