    Based on the subscription results of the Rights Issue as                  
    referred to above, the aggregate number of the Rights Shares              
    accepted and applied for represents approximately 208.56% of              
    the total number of Rights Shares available under the Rights              
    Issue. The aggregate number of Rights Shares accepted and                 
    applied for by the Major Shareholders represents                          
    approximately 35.21% of the total Rights Shares available for             
    subscription. The Major Shareholders have confirmed that                  
    neither they nor any of their subsidiaries nor any of their               
    respective associates have applied for any excess Rights                  
    Shares. Accordingly, the aggregate shareholding of the Major              
    Shareholders in the Company remain unchanged at approximately             
    35.21% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged             
    by the Rights Issue.                                                      
                                                                              
    As a result of the over-subscription of the Rights Shares,                
    the Underwriter's obligations under the Underwriting                      
    Agreement ceased at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 27th January 2005.
