(the "Company")

Investment in Pressfit Holdings Plc

The Company is pleased to announce that it has entered into a GBP95,000 convertible loan agreement with Pressfit Holdings Plc ("Pressfit"), an unquoted UK public limited company with Hong Kong and Chinese subsidiaries.

Pressfit manufactures and distributes thin walled stainless steel and carbon steel press fittings used in water and gas applications. Further information about Pressfit can be found at http://pressfitholdings.com/.

The loan is convertible, at the Company's discretion, into 961,849 fully paid ordinary shares of 0.25 pence per share at the conversion price of 9.88 pence per share (representing 3% of Pressfit's share capital after enlargement). Interest is payable on the loan at an annual rate of 8% per annum.

This investment is in line with the Company's strategy of making investments which the Board believes offer high growth opportunities or steady cash flows and where the exit will be a liquidity event, such as a trade sale or IPO.

Alexandra Eavis, Director, commented, "Pressfit operates in one of our preferred sectors, manufacturing. Its operations occur primarily in Shandong, China, one of our target emerging economies. It manufactures an accredited and very high quality product at a significant cost saving to its limited European competitors. We are familiar with, and have great confidence in, the management team who operate in Hong Kong and London, as well as China. We are looking forward to cooperating with them more closely on future ventures."
