Diluted loss per share for the year has not been presented as the effect 
of any dilution is anti-dilutive.

In the current year, the Group has adopted a number of new Statements of 
Standard Accounting Practice (SSAPs).  Adoption of these standards has led 
to a number of changes in the Group's accounting policies. In addition, 
the new standards have introduced additional and revised disclosure 
requirements which have been adopted in these financial statements. 
Comparative amounts for the prior year have been restated in order to 
achieve a consistent presentation.
