Antonov demonstreert supercharger op beurs in Amerika
Grote interesse uit de markt voor supercharger
Antonov Plc zal vandaag samen met Rotrex en Wheel to Wheel Tecstar de Antonov Mechanical Module (AMM) supercharger demonstreren op de 18e 'Racing Industry Trade show' (PRI Trade Show) in Orlando. De PRI Trade Show is het toonaangevende evenement in de Verenigde Staten op het gebied van de race industrie.
De interesse uit de markt voor de supercharger van Antonov is groot. De onderneming heeft verzoeken van acht autofabrikanten en diverse Tier 1 leveranciers ontvangen om de supercharger te mogen afnemen voor het doen van evaluatiestudies. Inmiddels zijn de eerste units ook al gereed voor verscheping.
class=mainDe PRI Trade Show, waar meer dan 1400 ondernemingen de laatste ontwikkelingen op het gebied van de race sport delen en hun nieuwste producten demonstreren vindt van 1 tot en met 3 december plaats in Orlando in de Verenigde Staten.
De eerste productieserie van de supercharger, waarvan Antonov enkele units zal gebruiken om intern verdere testen uit te voeren, is gereed voor verscheping. Een deel zal worden geleverd aan Wheel to Wheel ter ondersteuning van hun voorbereidingen voor het aanpassen van hun productassortiment. Daarnaast zal ook een deel van de serie naar Rotrex worden verscheept die ze zal gebruiken voor de verdere ontwikkeling van de supercharger en om de bouw van twee demonstratiewagens af te ronden.
Het overige deel zal gebruikt worden om aan de vraag van acht autofabrikanten en diverse Tier 1 leveranciers te voldoen die de units zullen gebruiken voor evaluatiestudies van de supercharger.
Drie van de fabrikanten hebben aangegeven de units te gebruiken om onderzoek te doen naar de toepassing in dieselmotoren.
John Moore, CEO van Antonov: "Ik ben zeer verheugd over de demonstratie op de PRI Trade Show en de eerste verscheping naar de Verenigde Staten. De introductie in de 'tuner' markt (markt voor producten om motoren op te voeren) is nu stevig aangezet door de samenwerking met toonaangevende marktpartijen. Het sterkt mij in mijn verwachtingen voor positieve vooruitzichten voor 2006. Het gegeven dat een achttal fabrikanten de supercharger zullen testen, waaronder een drietal ten behoeve van dieselmotoren, onderstreept het succes van Antonov's technologie als een 'proven technology' in de markt."

Antonov launches two-speed supercharger
The Board of Antonov plc is pleased to announce that it has today launched its
Antonov Mechanical Module ('AMM') two-speed supercharger at the eighteenth
Performance Racing Trade Show in Orlando, Florida.
The first of these supercharger units is now ready for shipment. In addition to
those units retained by the Company for its own on-going in-vehicle testing, the
first batch will include deliveries to its distribution partner, Wheel-to-Wheel
Tecstar. This will support Wheel-to-Wheel Tecstar's preparation of revised
installation kits for various vehicles within the significant US tuner market,
as previously announced. Additional units are being supplied on schedule to
Rotrex A/S to enable them to continue their supercharger development and in
order to complete the build of two demonstrator vehicles for press and client
demonstration.
The remainder of this initial batch of superchargers will be used to satisfy the
requests received by the Company from eight different vehicle manufacturers and
Tier 1 suppliers to purchase units for evaluation purposes.
John Moore, CEO of Antonov, commented:
'I am extremely pleased to be launching our two-speed supercharger today,
particularly as this ensures a strong approach to the considerable US tuner
market with its promise of healthy sales in the New Year. I am also very
encouraged by the robust and immediate response we have received from OEMs and
Tier 1 suppliers, three of whom have disclosed that the units will be used for
evaluation on diesel engines. I believe this underlines the success of Antonov's
strategy of launching the AMM into the market as a proven technology.'

Supercharger drive to go into production
Following its announcement in September that Neue ZWL Zahnradwerk ('NZWL') had
been appointed as manufacturing partner, the Board of Antonov plc is pleased to
announce that it has now exchanged formal letters of intent with NZWL,
containing an initial purchase order for the Antonov Mechanical Module ('AMM')
supercharger drive.
The Company is also pleased to report that pre-production validation testing is
nearing completion with no issues being encountered. The first units are due to
go into production on schedule in December. In-vehicle testing is also ongoing;
initial results show excellent driveability and demonstrate the ability of the
two speed supercharger drive to give a smaller engine the same driving
characteristic as a larger one.
In addition to the agreement announced in May with Wheel-to-Wheel Tecstar to
market the AMM supercharger drive in the significant US tuner market, supply
agreements are being set up with a number of other specialist aftermarket
distributors. At the recent SEMA show in Las Vegas, it was stated that the US
aftermarket is now worth $31 billion a year.
As a result of the production launch, a number of enquiries have been received
from vehicle makers including a quotation request for up to 100,000 units a
year. Antonov will be working with both Rotrex and NZWL to respond to this
request.
John Moore, CEO of Antonov plc, commented:
'Our initial purchase order with NZWL is an important step in bringing the
Antonov technology to market. It fulfils our strategy of releasing the AMM into
the mainstream automotive marketplace as a proven technology. As a result, the
technology is now being considered for high volume applications. I am confident
of firm revenue prospects with good margin in 2006.'

Antonov announces strong commercial development in first Quarter 2005
Antonov plc, the automotive technology company, announces its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended 31st March 2005.
Key Points Loss before tax of £0.781m is in line with expectations the company focuses on product development and commercialisation of its technology Successful fundraising completed, raising €3m (net) to facilitate continuing working capital needs (after balance sheet date on 7th June a further €6.75m was raised through a convertible term loan facility) Successful demonstration of the 6 speed automatic transmission to Powertrain Ltd; “concept readiness” signed off Discussions now ongoing with Shanghai Automotive Corporation (SAC) with respect to this product plan First prototype testing of 2 speed supercharger drive for Rotrex undertaken leading to design updates for next round of prototypes Ongoing discussions with a range of interested parties for both 6 speed auto and double clutch automatic transmission technologies Sales initiative underway regarding a range of additional applications for 2 speed and 3 speed mechanical modules
CEO John Moore said:
“We have had a busy first three months of the year with the focus on the delivery of client programmes for MG Rover and Rotrex. The breakdown of negotiations between Phoenix Venture Holdings and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation caused a temporary delay in the 6 speed automatic and Dual Clutch Automatic projects but these are now continuing and our part of our client’s product plans. Intensive work on the development of the Rotrex Supercharger drive continues to complete the release of the production designs and in parallel we have entered the final selection process to nominate a supplier for these units.
Alongside these ongoing client projects, we have also been busily strengthening the Company in preparation for a further increase in workload as the products progress to their production design phase.”
Trading Results
Group losses during the first three months were £0.781 million (2004: £3.061 million ). Loss per share for the period was 2.75p (2004: 2.9p).This is in line with expectations and due to the higher continued investment in product development. Cash balances at 31st March 2005 were negligible. On the 21st January 2005 the Company was granted a convertible term loan facility of €3 million by nine different parties. Following the period end the Company successfully completed a further fund raising on the 7th June 2005 through a convertible term loan facility of €6.75 million by five different parties including Quivest BV, the companies largest shareholder. These monies will fund the continued working capital of the Antonov business and are a flexible form of funding, allowing the Company to choose when and how much to draw down to manage its working capital requirements.
The fund raising now completed is expected to be sufficient to cover the working capital for the Company as it enters production of the Supercharger Drive and services the demands for its product development programme to the end of the year.
Commercial
Excellent progress was made in the period with the demonstration vehicle fitted with the Antonov 6 speed automatic transmission and this was successfully demonstrated to Powertrain Ltd. at the end of March. Discussion continues with Shanghai Automotive Corporation on the future development plans for the transmission. The Dual Clutch transmission and its manual transmission counterpart were also progressed with completion of design concepts. This is also the subject of ongoing discussions with Shanghai Automotive Corporation.
Discussions are also on-going with a number of other industry clients regarding both the 6speed automatic technology and the double clutch automatic transmission technology.
After balance sheet date Antonov announced that it launched its AMM variable Supercharger drive with Rotrex A/S through US aftermarket distributors Wheel-to-Wheel Tecstar. With this strategically important step the Company is addressing one of the world’s largest markets for tuner products. Trial units are being placed with selected customers in the US with series production to support initial demand beginning in September. The first production prototypes for the 2 speed Supercharger drive were rig tested and design modifications made in preparation for second prototypes in June. These will be fitted to test vehicles for assessment by our partner Rotrex and their clients.
A sales initiative has been launched to promote alternative applications for both the 2 speed and 3 speed modules. Initial client meetings have proved promising.
Personnel
During the period, the management of the Company was strengthened by the appointment of John Moore as CEO. His experience of product development and licensing in the automotive industry is a key part of the next phase of commercialisation of the Antonov technologies.
Other appointments have been made to strengthen the project and financial management of the Company in preparation for the management of clients’ application programmes. Additional sales resource has also been engaged to provide local presence in several key markets.

Result of Warrant Exchange Offer
On 10 June 2005 the Company announced the opportunity for Existing Warrantholders to exchange their current holding of Existing Warrants for an appropriate holding of New Warrants to subscribe for shares in the Company at a price of 100p each until 31 December 2009.
As at the close of the Warrant Exchange Offer at 3.00pm on 28 June 2005, valid applications for New Warrants had been received in respect of 4,070,170 Existing Warrants equating to 3,591,209 New Warrants. This represents a take-up of approximately 76.3 per cent based on the Existing Warrants equating to 92.6 per cent of the New Warrants available under the Warrant Exchange Offer.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Warrants to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that dealings will commence in the new Warrants at 8.00am on 30 June 2005 and that CREST accounts will be credited on that date.

Warrante Exchange offer
Following the passing of various resolutions at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 26 November 2004, the directors of Antonov plc, developer of a range of unique and innovative gearbox technologies, announced that it would be proceeding with plans to issue a new class of warrants, which would be offered to Existing Warrantholders in exchange for the various classes of warrants in order to simplify the Company's capital structure.
Reasons for the Exchange Offer Throughout its history, Antonov has funded its research and development activities through periodic fundraisings. As the Company has been raising money at the pre-commercialisation stage of its development it has been a well established practice to offer Existing Warrants attached to the Ordinary Shares at each funding round. As a result, the Company has several different series of warrants in issue exercisable over different periods and at different strike prices. In addition, none of the Existing Warrants are traded on a recognised investment exchange or public trading facility.
As a result it is difficult to assess the potential dilution factor on the Company's issued share capital on a day-to-day basis, particularly as Antonov's shares can experience significant volatility from time to time. In addition, Existing Warrantholders have little practical alternative other than to hold or exercise their warrants. Whilst it is possible to transfer Existing Warrants to new holders, there is no independent market facility allowing holders to place a value on the Existing Warrants on a daily basis.
The Directors believe that Existing Warrantholders would benefit from a much simplified warrant structure, which would also serve to make their warrants more easily and transparently tradable. In addition, as there are a large number of Existing Warrantholders in existence, the Company would benefit from the flexibility of being able to buy in warrants in the market for cancellation from time to time and thereby reduce the administrative burden of maintaining the Existing Warrants and also reduce the inevitable dilution that will occur when these are exercised.
Accordingly, the Directors consider that Existing Warrantholders should be enabled and strongly encouraged to exchange their holdings of Existing Warrants for an appropriate holding of New Warrants on terms that are intended to be fair and reasonable and are now making the Exchange Offer in order to achieve this objective. The Existing Warrants currently outstanding that will be subject to the Exchange Offer are summarised below: TypeNumber

Antonov plc enters significant US tuner market with
supercharger drive technology
§ Commencement of series production in September
§ Trial units are being placed with selected customers
§ Ongoing discussions with OEMs
The Board of Antonov plc, the automotive technology company, is launching its AMM variable supercharger drive with Rotrex A/S through US aftermarket distributors Wheel-to-Wheel Tecstar. This is strategically important for the Company as it addresses one of the world’s largest markets for tuner products. Trial units are being placed with selected customers in the US with series production to support initial demand beginning in September.
This strategy enables Antonov’s AMM product to be released into the marketplace as a proven technology and underpins its ongoing discussions with OEM vehicle manufacturers that are interested in high volume applications.
Antonov will manage the manufacture and supply of the initial series production up to 10,000 units per year but expects to licence the technology to high volume clients either directly or through their Tier 1 suppliers.
The AMM is based on Antonov’s patented technology. The AMM is a small stand-alone, self-controlling multi-speed drive module. It can be configured in 2, 3 or 4 speed modules and can be applied to a wide range of power transmission applications. The supercharger is the first application to enter production.
John Moore, CEO of Antonov plc, commented,
“This initial production is a significant step forward for Antonov and the AMM technology. By launching the product into the buoyant US tuner products market, we will generate short term revenues. We are also demonstrating to the high volume players that this is a fully developed product available to them now. We have already had strong interest and will be supplying units to a number of OEM clients for assessment.”
Commenting on the launch of the AMM variable drive, Anders Jensen, Managing Director of Rotrex A/S, said,
“The addition of the variable drive to the Rotrex supercharger gives even better low end torque to the engine. It will also open up new opportunities for the application of our superchargers in the future.”
================================================
8-April-2005
Termination discussions Phoenix Venture Holdings and SAIC
Antonov expects no adverse impact following termination of discussions between Phoenix Venture Holdings (PVH) and the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC)
The Board of Antonov plc would like to reassure its shareholders that its business prospects will not be adversely impacted upon following the recently reported breakdown of discussions between PVH and SAIC.
It is our expectation that SAIC will seek to acquire parts of Powertrain Ltd (PTL), a separate subsidiary of PVH, as a stand alone business unit. This will enable the current product development plans to continue. If this is not achieved, we expect to reach agreement directly with SAIC (or its affiliated transmission manufacturer Shanghai Automotive Gear Works) to enable their automatic transmission plans to be maintained.
Antonov’s investment in its AAD and DCA technologies for application by PTL for MG Rover and SAIC vehicles has been driven by strong commercial demand for innovative and versatile automatic transmission technology.
John Moore, CEO of Antonov plc commented:
- “We have recently demonstrated the technical viability of our 6 speed AAD technology to PTL following the completion of more than eighteen months of intensive development work at our R&D centre in Paris. The AAD is now ready for series production development, a process we expect to be undertaking together with Powertrain\SAIC and others. This process has already begun and while it will suffer some disruption as a result of today’s events, we expect that it will be back on track shortly. Further announcements will be made as appropriate.”

Roumen Antonov, Chairman, said:
“Significant progress has been made by the Company in 2004. We are now able to offer the motor industry a full range of automatic gearboxes. Our six-speed AAD gearbox is due to go into series production with Powertrain Limited in 2007 and the initial development phase of the DCA has been completed. While automotive transmissions remain our core focus, the deepening of our relationship with Rotrex A/S demonstrates the Company’s ability to adapt our technology to new markets and increase our potential customer base. We expect to make further announcements with regards to the commercialisation of our technology in due course”.
Chairman’s Statement
AAD Commercialisation
In 2004 the Group made considerable progress in commercialising its innovative AAD technology which offers greater efficiency and lower cost development than existing automatic transmissions. A key element of this process has been the formation of a partnership with the automotive industry tier 1 manufacturer Powertrain Limited to develop the AAD technology into a mass-production gearbox. We announced in February 2004 that we had signed “Heads of Agreement” with them, and this relationship has since deepened with the signing of a production licence agreement in September 2004. Powertrain Limited has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in successfully adapting and refining new transmission technology for mass-production processes.
During 2004 the focus of our development engineers in Paris has been to complete the detailed design work on the fifth generation of our AAD technology and build a high quality prototype. This has now been installed in a Rover Streetwise car, unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in late September 2004. The prototype development phase is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2005. The prototype will then be passed to Powertrain Limited who will complete the process of adapting our technology for initial series production of the gearbox, planned to commence in early 2007.
AMM Commercialisation
We are also working with Rotrex A/S, a member of the AP Moller Group, the largest Danish group of companies, to commercialise our new two- and three-speed fully-mechanical automatic gearboxes. The new gearboxes, known as the “Antonov Mechanical Module” (“AMM”), will be used in both automotive and non-automotive applications. Heads of Agreement were signed with Rotrex A/S in October 2004 and it is anticipated that they will place their first production order for a two-speed automatic gearbox in the first half of 2005. The first commercial application will be in combination with a Rotrex supercharger.
The AMM is based on Antonov’s patented technology. It is a small, stand-alone, self-supporting step-up drive module, which will be used to adapt engine output to the optimum required input of a supercharger. This will significantly improve efficiency at a very competitive cost.
Antonov and Rotrex have already made a number of joint presentations to prospective customers for both automotive and non-automotive applications. The joint product offering has been well received. The next step in the sales process will be to demonstrate the efficacy of the system through the development of a fully operational prototype. The first AMM prototype is currently being bench tested and will shortly be delivered to Rotrex.
Antonov and Rotrex are also working with the research divisions of automotive diesel engine manufacturers for the development of the variable drive technology to be fitted onto the next generation of passenger car diesel engines.
DCA Technical Update
During 2004 the Group focused its research resources on completing the design of a new dual clutch product to be known as the DCA (“Dual Clutch Antonov”). The DCA encompasses fundamental new inventions for which patent protection has been sought. It is designed for larger (+2 litre) manual and automatic drive motor vehicles and can have over seven speeds. As with the AAD development, we are working on the commercialisation of the DCA with Powertrain Limited.
The DCA will initially be developed as a manual gearbox. The main attraction of the manual DCA will be its small size and lower weight when compared to existing manual gearboxes. From a manufacturing point of view an important advantage will be the large number of common components that it will share with the automatic variant, which will reduce the cost of both units. The first prototype of a manual DCA, currently under construction, is expected to be ready for testing by mid 2005 when it will be fitted into a MG Rover 75 car.
The automatic DCA will also be both smaller and lighter than existing offerings. These advantages translate into a wider application base and lower manufacturing costs. The design is also easily adaptable to four-wheel drive applications, which will allow Antonov to target the expanding SUV market. It is also suitable for installation in high-speed direct-injection diesel engines, another rapidly expanding market segment.
Product Portfolio Expansion
The Company has in the past been focused on developing an automatic gearbox for small car applications. This has allowed the Company to develop a depth of expertise that can be successfully utilised in other transmission applications. Together with the desire to reduce our dependence on the small car segment of the market, this has led the Company to broaden its product strategy and by so doing reduce our overall product acceptance risk. The Company is now positioned to offer the motor industry an expanded range of gearboxes, both manual and automatic, and to provide associated consultancy services for the first time. We can now offer:
· the AAD range for smaller cars with torque capacities of less than 250 NMs
· the DCA range for motor vehicle with torque capacities greater than 250 NMs
· the AMM range of two- and three- speed fully-mechanical automatic gearboxes
· stand alone transmission consultancy and development services
We are confident that we will be in a position to demonstrate that our technology portfolio will substantially assist car manufacturers in meeting the challenging ACEA fuel consumption targets by 2008. As the manufacture of both the AAD and DCA will not require massive investment in new production facilities, they will be available for installation well before the 2008 deadline for compliance with the ACEA targets.
In addition to the passenger car applications described above, Antonov are in discussion with a number of clients regarding application of the AMM as a 2 speed unit to front accessory drives to improve powertrain efficiency and as 3 and 4 speed units to provide a higher efficiency driveline for lightweight and leisure vehicle applications.
Board Changes
Martin Schinzig (CEO) stepped down from the Board in March 2004 having successfully led the company through a major transition process, which has focused the Company’s activities firmly on the commercialisation of its technology.
The Board was further strengthened by the appointment of Christopher Ross and Armand Dahi in early 2004 and after the year end, with the appointment of John Moore as CEO. John brings a wealth of experience to the Group. He combines an engineering background with significant experience of the many facets of the automotive industry having worked at both Ricardo plc and Lotus Engineering Limited. This, combined with his track record of commercial successes, will play a key role in underpinning our growth to date as well as driving the business forward as we enter the final phase of the commercialisation of our technology.
Also, following the year end, our longest serving Non Executive Director Cees Minnaar decided to retire from the Board. Cees has made a valuable contribution to Antonov over the last twelve years and his input has been greatly appreciated.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank both Martin and Cees for their contribution to the Group and to welcome Christopher, Armand and John to the Board.
Financials
Group losses for the year were £3.112 million (2003: £2.2 million). Loss per share for the period was 2.9p (2003: 2.1p). Cash balances as at 31st December 2004 were £0.138 million. The increased Group losses are attributable solely to the planned higher development costs and administration expenses of £3.048m (2003: £2.143m).
The increase in development costs and administration expenses, which occurred in the second half of 2004, arose because of the costs of working on three development projects simultaneously. This included the construction of the AAD prototype, which was developed to a much higher standard than past demonstrator vehicles and was therefore materially more expensive.
During the year the Company raised Euro 1.885 million by placing new shares with both existing and new investors. Of this amount Euro 375,000 arose from the exercising of warrants This was in addition to further draw downs of Euro 1.125m on the convertible loan note facility of Euro 1.25m negotiated in 2003. The Euro 1.5 million placing with Quivest B.V, which was announced on the 22nd July 2004, has now been cancelled and replaced by later fund raisings, including the Euro 3 million convertible loan note placing announced on the 11th March 2005.
The Board continues to evaluate the Group’s working capital requirements in the light of expected revenues on the one hand and increased development expenditure on the other.

Issue of convertible loan notes (the 'Notes')
Antonov plc (the 'Company')
Issue of convertible loan notes (the 'Notes')
The Company today announces that its Euro 3 million convertible loan note fundraising was fully subscribed and is now closed. The Notes were placed with nine Investors, being a mixture of both old and new shareholders, including three directors in the Company as announced in the Technical Release dated 8 February 2005.
The Notes may be converted into ordinary shares of 20p each ('Shares') in the Company at any time from 1st September 2005. The exchange price per Share will be determined on the drawdown date, being a 5% discount to the AIM market price per Share on that date. The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent. If not converted, the Notes are redeemable from 30 June 2007.
The Noteholders have also been granted warrants to subscribe for new shares in the Company on the basis of one warrant for every three shares received on conversion of the Note. The exercise price is fixed at Euro 2.08 per Share and the warrants will expire if not exercised on 30 June 2007.
The Company has today issued 37,500 Shares to a broker in payment of an agreed commission for the introduction of certain of the Investors who subscribed for some of the above-mentioned Notes.
John Moore, CEO of Antonov, commented:
“I am delighted by the confidence shown in the Company’s strategy by both our new and established investors. It has been a long period of development and continuing innovation, with Antonov’s technology now forming part of our existing customers’ firm product plans as they move steadily towards volume production. In addition we have a number of new technology opportunities under development.
“This fundraising will facilitate the Company’s current working capital needs for most of 2005. During this period the Board will evaluate the scale and timing of expected revenues to assess the need for further fund raisings.”
===========================================================

Share Consolidation
On 4 November 2004, the directors of Antonov plc, developer of a range of unique and innovative gearbox technologies, wrote to shareholders to seek approval for a proposed consolidation of the Company’s ordinary share capital in order to simplify the Company’s capital base. The resolution was passed at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 26 November 2004.
Under the share consolidation the existing ordinary shares of the Company are being consolidated on the basis of 1 new ordinary share of 20p each for every 4 existing ordinary shares of 5p each. The consolidation is being effected by reference to shareholders and their holdings of existing ordinary shares on the register as at the close of business on 18 February 2005 (the “Record Date”). Application has been made for the new ordinary shares arising from the consolidation to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that admission of the new ordinary shares to AIM will become effective and that dealings in the new ordinary shares on AIM will commence on 21 February 2005 (the “Dealing Day”).
The effect of the above on shareholders will be as follows:
· For every 4 existing ordinary shares of 5p each held by existing shareholders as at the close of business on 18 February 2005 (the “Record Date”), shareholders will receive 1 new ordinary share of 20p each.
· Those shareholders whose holdings of existing ordinary shares on the Record Date do not constitute multiples of 4 will be left with a fractional entitlement to a new ordinary share. Such fractional entitlements will be aggregated to whole numbers of new ordinary shares and sold to Brewin Dolphin Securities Limited at a price of 120p per share. As (on the basis of a market price of 30p per existing ordinary share) the maximum about to which a shareholder left with a fractional entitlement would be entitled would be 90p, such amounts will not be distributed to such shareholders but retained for the benefit of the Company.
It is intended that new share certificates will be sent to Shareholders, who hold their shares in certificated form, within 14 days of the Dealing Day. These new share certificates will set out the number of New Ordinary Shares owned by a Shareholder on completion of the Share Consolidation and will replace a Shareholders' existing share certificate which will no longer be of value from Admission and should be destroyed upon receipt of the certificate in respect of the New Ordinary Shares. Definitive certificates for the new ordinary shares to be issued in certificated form are expected to be dispatched by post within 14 days of the Dealing Day. Temporary documents of title will not be issued. Pending despatch of definitive share certificates, transfers of new ordinary shares held in certificated form will be certified against the register held by Capita Registrars. Shareholders who hold their existing ordinary shares in uncertificated form are expected to have their CREST accounts credited with the new ordinary shares on 21 February 2005.
· Other than the change in nominal value, the new ordinary shares will have the same rights as the existing ordinary shares including voting, dividend and other rights.

Issue of convertible loan notes to three directors
The Company has today issued €150,000 of convertible loan notes (“Notes”) to three directors. Roumen Antonov (Chairman), David Bovell (Finance Director) and Cees Minnaar (Non-Executive Director) have each subscribed for €50,000 of Notes at par to increase the working capital available to the Company in the commercialisation of its technology.
The Notes may be converted into ordinary shares of 5p each in the Company (“Shares”) at any time from 1 September 2005 at an exchange price of €0.40 per Share, being a 5% discount to the Amsterdam Stock Exchange price per Share on the pricing date of 3 February 2005. If all the Notes are converted, the Company would be required to issue a further 375,000 Shares, representing approximately 0.2 per cent. of the current issued share capital of the Company. The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent. If not converted, the Notes are redeemable from 30 June 2007.
